On the first day of school, I gave a girls update...so I thought it was only fair that I give the boys one too. Of course, I have more pictures of the boys too. That is not completely my fault. The girls love to get my camera and take pictures of the boys. There are only a few in this post that I have taken, the rest are from Anya and Hannah. The boys are their favorite subject.
The boys favorite time of the day is snack time. There are three favored areas for eating snacks.
1. The fluffy rug in the living area
2. sitting on the bottom step of our stairs
Last is under the Kitchen sink of course...where else?
Having fun during the unpacking frenzy. At one point the boys would bury each other under paper, until you couldn't even see them. And burst out and say "AHHHh". Of course, they are much too fast to get a picture while they are doing this!
Jack, lately, has been doing this when we take pictures. We call it the "cheesy smile". He only does it when he sees the camera out. It brings back memories for us, Cora used to do the same thing!
Anyone who knows Matt, knows his passion for sports, especially golf! Here he is, putting around with his boys. It was kind of funny because the boys wanted NO help. They wanted to golf all on their own. As a side note, you should know, that Jack sleeps with a pitching wedge and a golf ball. Could he be like his father?
Hunter loves sports too, he likes throwing balls, but mostly the guys like playing catch all together. Here Hunter is getting some tutorials from dad.
The boys love water! The have NO fear of water. We often find them trying to swim, literally swim, away from us in pools. It can be scary, but I do laugh sometimes...because they are better swimmers in someways then their sisters. Cora won't even put her face in water yet!
It's sad, but true, my babies are growing up.
They are now in big boy beds. They do surprisingly very well. Sure, they get out and play around after lay them down for naps or bed, but the funny thing is...they always get back in bed before they fall alseep. Hannah we would find on the floor, under her bed, in front of the door, when we were transisitioning her to a bed. Not the boys, they like their beds!
Here they are in their beds (which I have since moved in different positions), looking so small and precious.
What these pictures don't show, is they are officially weened off their binkies. Yay! It was time...mom was the hold out on that one. But, after one night, they were done...and we never looked back.
When we check on them before we go to bed, matt and I often find them like this...sleeping together.
After a day filled with mischief and getting into one thing after another until I feel like I am ready to scream...or bust out the pack-n-plays...
I find them doing things like this.
It doesn't get much better then this! Witnessing their love for each other, they look out for each other, play together. If one or the other gets two of something, they run and give one to their brother. I love seeing them in these quiet positions, softly jabbering to each other and laughing.
Despite all the hard work boys bring, I love these two. They bring a special joy into our home!
