Aiden Rolled

Aiden has been trying so hard to get from his back to his belly. Today I spent a long time recording him in 2 min chunks just hoping to get it on film and I did. I got the first time on video.

Merry Christmas!

The boys had a great Christmas! They were spoiled rotten. We started off Christmas with my sister, niece and brother-in-law coming over Christmas eve. The kids opened their PJs and we read all of our Christmas books before bed.

Christmas morning I got up early and while everyone was still sleeping I put breakfast in the oven. We have coffee, coco and cinnamon rolls. My mom joined us. When all the kids were up presents were passed out and opened. We ate our yummy rolls and then went to our in-laws.

Once at Erick's moms the boys got more gifts. Then off to G. Grandma's house for more gifts. This gift opening went on for 2 days.

Big boy beds

This is what the boys room looks like.



But the last two days Owen has decided to prove that he can escape the crib. Today that resulted in a rainstorm of q-tips all over the room and Ethan getting really pissed that Owen was out and he wasn't. The good news is that the boys cant turn a doorknob. The bad news is they can lock their bedroom door.

So this morning Erick and I talked and decided to make the boys room look like this




Their reaction to seeing the big boy beds...



This is all great except it was HELL getting them to nap today. It took almost an hour for Ethan to get it an fall asleep. 2 hours later Owen was still up. He finally fell asleep on the floor in front of the door so I couldn't get in. Owen ended up sleeping about 45 min and Ethan slept a little less than 2 hrs. We will keep with this and see how it goes.

out and about

This last weekend (yeah I know big delay in posting) we spent at my MILs house. While there we decided to take the boys to see the fish. We have taken them before and knew there were areas that strollers are requested not to go. We made the choice to take the boys on leashes. We have never used the leashes let alone in public. It was very interesting. Here are some pictures.


Ok so I know this next picture is horribly out of focus but the face Owen made as the shark swam past is just to good to pass up.

Life keeps getting in the way of my uploading videos so here is all the videos I have that you have yet to see. Some are funny. Some are cute. Some are just because.

Who is that?

Be warned total cuteness is inside. The boys were playing in the mirrors in my room.

Just videos

Body

Owen and Ethan are becoming more aware of their body. Here is a few pics and videos to show you.







Ok Ok so the only reason the Pictures have to do with body is they are of the little pinchable bodies on St. Pattys day.

Tunnel





Ethan finally learned that he can climb in the toy box. This was all well and good until Owen wanted in too.















Oh I know what more 2 little boys could want.... their mom. When Erick is home we take turns getting a little extra sleep. We get the best greetings when we get up from the boys. So I thought I would record it for you. (please dont mind the messy house it was a rough few days dealing with the sudden death of a long time close friend that left behind 2 little ones)
