January 2009

Again, I am terribly behind. I am just going to make this post a few of the exciting things that have been going on around our house here in January!

Snuggling our Tads together in Nate's crib

Daddy and Nate

Mama and Ben

Ben and Nate

Ben showing Nate how to spit water out during bath time.....Nate is holding a cup catching it!

Ben and his friend Lyla playing at her house...he loved her kitchen!

Nate playing at Lyla's house

Nate rolled over! I was helping Ben and the next thing I saw was Nate on his stomach!

After I caught him on his tummy, I tried getting him to roll over again

Ben also tried helping me by holding a toy out for Nate. He didn't roll over again this day

Look at his beautiful eyes!

Ben, Nate and our friend Joey. Joey came for a playtime

Nate chewing on a bunny rabbit

Ben chewing on a butterfly


The next set of pictures are a series of shots that I took while Benjamin was trying to feed Nathaniel. Apparently Nathaniel was hungry and Benjamin just wanted to help!

Benjamin getting Nathaniel positioned

If you look closely, you'll notice Benjamin's shirt is pushed up

Benjamin pulling Nate towards him

Benjamin looked at me and said "Mama" and pointed to his belly button! Too cute!

I've got some more January pictures I'd like to share, but it is 10 minutes after 11 pm and I need to get some rest. More tomorrow night!

Nathaniel is 5 months old!

We can't believe how big Nathaniel is getting! He was 19 1/2 lbs. last Tuesday, is wearing size 12 month clothing, and is already sitting on his own! He is growing so fast! Here are some pictures to mark the 5 month birthday!

Cheese!

Big blue eyes!

Sweet feet!

Sweet enough to eat!


Such fun to play with too!

Such a cute little guy!

My fingers are good too!

You're so funny Mama!

I'm done with all these photos now Mama!

New Year's Eve

Daddy and Benjamin getting ready for the fireworks to start

Mama and Nathaniel patiently waiting

Benjamin enjoying Canadian Smarties during the fireworks show!

The grand finale!

Apparently fireworks shows are exhausting when you're 4 1/2 months old!

Christmas Day

Benjamin discovering what was under the tree!

Playing with the forklift Mama and Daddy got him (the biggest hit of the day)

Nathaniel "opening" his presents

Benjamin opening his next gift; from Lala and Papa

Helping Daddy find the right piece for the next part of the train track


Playing with the train set from Lala and Papa. Daddy and Benjamin worked on setting it up for quite a long while!

Nathaniel playing with his doggy from Ashleigh..he loved giving his doggy kisses!

Nathaniel playing with his musical butterfly from Grandma Nina


A big fluffy beanbag chair from Grandma Nina! Say cheese!

Benjamin and Nathaniel enjoying the beanbag chair together! Such great brothers!

Nathaniel is no longer needing help sitting up. He is growing so fast!

Naptime finally arrived....the boys passed out....


...literally!

Benjamin figured that Nathaniel needed to talk on the phone

After dinner, Benjamin, Daddy and Grandma Nina decided to go look at Ho Ho Lights (what Benjamin likes to call them).

Nathaniel and I stayed home and watched "The Nutcracker" on pbs.

We also played on the floor....

....and decided we wanted to reach for our toes and roll on our side....

....luckily, that's as far as he made it. I don't think I'm ready for two kids on the move....I know the day will come though!

Thankfully, we ended the best Christmas (so far) with visions of sugarplums dancing in our heads!
