My Little Artist!

The other day, I learned William knows how to draw a face!  If I draw, a circle, I ask him to draw eyes, which he does.  I ask him to draw a nose, which he does.  I ask him to draw a mouth, he does.  Ears, he does.  And lastly, hair.  I've got to say, it's pretty incredible!

Every Day...

Every day, after William wakes up from his nap, Matthew and I head upstairs.  I get William out of his bed and put Matthew in his crib so that I can jump in the shower.  During William's naps, Matthew and I hang out in the garage...he in his stroller and I on my beloved treadmill.  While I am in the shower, William is tasked with watching his brother, which he takes very seriously.  He grabs his step stool and proceeds to talk to Matthew, gets him books and toys, and I can hear both of them laughing at each other.  Every day is the same.  I love it!

7 Months!

Our not so little chunkster is 7 months old and is showing no signs of slowing down!  5 teeth have made their grand appearance, and while we were sleeping through the night, the last 3 nights we've been getting up once.  I love going in to get him from his crib and seeing him raise his head up as high as he can to see over the bumper and lighting up with the biggest, toothiest grin!  Really, we shouldn't complain as Matthew is one of the happiest babies ever!  He's all smiles, constantly cooing or singing, is in love with his big brother and Bailee, and is happiest in his Jumperoo or being held.  He is a total rockstar when it comes to eating.  We have rice cereal mixed with a fruit in the morning and a vegetable in the afternoon.  So far, there hasn't been any food he hasn't loved.  We are not crawling yet, but fully anticipate it happening any day now.  He can get up on all fours and rock back and forth, so we know it's just a matter of time.  And I have a feeling he will be into everything.  This kid is constantly reaching for any and everything within his reach.

Yum, Green Beans!

Zoo Fun!

Daddy took Friday off so we took advantage of the sunny weather and headed to the zoo, which the boys loved! And, on the way home, we stopped for a cheeseburger, french fries, and chocolate shake at Dick's.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We staged an egg hunt in our backyard, which was so much fun that William demanded we re-hide his eggs after he had found them all.

Dying Easter Eggs!

We had a lot of fun getting ready for Easter, especially when it came to dying our eggs!

License to Drive!

Yep, these 2 boys are the proud new owners of "Flinstone" cars! William is in love with his Police car, and Matthew took to his car right away.
