My Guys

To spice things up we played in James' room this morning. James loved it and kept saying "Play James' room". He was so proud.

We played puzzles in the blue chair. James' new word is sharing. So every time Luke has something James wants we hear "Share bee, share". Interesting that sharing means asking for whatever someone else has.

Then James realized I was taking pictures and gave me his best side.

Then I asked him to please sit up so I could take his picture. So he dive-bomb hugged his brother. Luke is very used to this. James prefers full contact hugging.

And then my Luker surprised me by balancing next to James STANDING on the chair. Oh my word we are making progress! It didn't last long, just a few seconds....but I snapped the picture just in time.

Bath Time

Luke loves bath time! He will stay in there until the water is stone cold. And I love that sweet smile, so I let him stay in as long as he wants.

Today is our wedding anniversary. Six years! Wow!

My bathing beauty.

Sitting, standing and my little charmer

Luke loves to sit up, and is getting so good balancing while sitting. All this PT is really helping Luke develop into a sturdy and strong baby.

He is also really interested in standing, but still needs some help balancing on those LONG legs.

My sweet little charmer.

My little engineer/zoo-keeper hard at work. I love that all the animals get to mingle together in James' zoo, Quiz for the day: Can you find Waldo?

Puppy Love

We love our puppy Zion! James loves to snuggle and give him hugs. Zion isn't always a fan of all this affection...but we like to think he loves the boys just as much as they love him.

A kiss for Zion

Yuck, hair in the mouth!

Zion is always near Luke when he is eating. Let's just say, Luke sometimes drops food and Zion is always very eager to help pick up after him.

We love Zion!

Time for lunch

Anyone hungry?

Independence Day

We are celebrating today with food, friends and a kiddie pool. Life is good!

Next up...fireworks.

Happy Independence Day!

Close

We like to play close together. I mean really close. There we are all squeezed into three square feet of carpet.



It's not like we don't have plenty of space.

But we are so happy just this way.

And really, who am I to argue.
