Lydia is 4 months!

Time has been flying and we've been so busy with the move and all, but I wanted to share some updated pictures of Lydia & the boys!

Lydia is 4 months now!  She's wearing size 6-9 months, weighs 15.6 lbs and is beginning to show signs of teething!  She smiles all the time and is so easy to get laughing.  She loves her brothers and they know how to make her happy.  They sing the ABC's to her and other songs they make up.  She's beginning to play with toys and has started sucking her thumb! :D

James 2nd Birthday!

James is 11 Months

So, my baby is growing up.  He'll be 1 next month, can that really be?

It seems just like yesterday that he was born - his tiny little self came bringing us more joy and fun then we could have imagined.  He blended into our family so well, being Titus' little baby that he wanted to hold all the time to now being Titus' play buddy.  He's got the prettiest little eyes and his smile is radiant.  Everyone who sees him can't help but smile.  It feels like he's been here forever on the other hand too!  At one point I wondering how life with 2 little ones would be, now I can't image life without these precious 2 little ones. :) But, anyway, I thought I'd share a few pictures of them before I get even later (for James 11 months pictures). :)  Here's just a few today, I'll work on getting some more ready in the next few days. :)  There's no shortage of pictures over here. :)

I edited this photo with a film to make it look the way it does, still not 100% sure if I'm fond of the look. :)

You know how hard it is to get a picture of both boys together?  Ashley asked me for a new picture of the boys a few weeks ago and I had to go back several months to get a decent one.  Most of the time they end up like these. : )  Add the dog in and you get even more fun! :)

And these were taken with Daddy behind me trying to help! :-)

Loving this blessed life,

7 Months

I've been meaning to share some pictures since James turned 7 months and now he's almost 8 months! :)  The days are truly flying by. :)

6 months

James is now 6 months.  He has 2 teeth and is almost crawling!

I thought it would be fun to share pictures of Titus & James at the same age (6 months) side-by-side. :)

James is 5 months!

James is 5 months!  With 2 little boys days go by slowly but time still seems to fly! :)  New things for James this month include:

• Weighing 17.4 pounds ~ he's heavy, the Ergo is my best friend these days. : )
• He learned how to roll over!
• He doesn't like the pacifier anymore! (I'm glad, I didn't like having to remember it when we went places. :))
• He went to the ocean for the first time! Oh, it was so beautiful! : )
• He got a new uncle ;)
• He happily sat in the car for 2 days (twice) for a trip to CA
• His favorite toys are net balls (he can hold them), the yellow giraffe, and the butterfly that can dangle from his car seat handle.  He also loves any toys Titus gives him, especially the ones he's not really supposed to have. : )
• He can almost sit up on his own!
• He smiles when you go to take a picture of him.
• He's quickly growing out of the 6-9 months outfits, wow, next is 9-12 months! :)
• He still loves his Daddy so much! 
• He loves to play on the floor!
• He's starting to cut teeth, you can see his white swollen gums at times.
• He's still sleeping through the night (I'm thinking about getting a co-sleeper for him, I think he'd like it!)
• He loves his swing!
• He loves blankets and to snuggle ((love))
• He gives open mouth sopping wet kisses!
• Hes' a great big JOY to our lives (but that's not new. :))

We love you, Baby James!

4 months

James is 4 months!

  He's growing so much!  Oh, how we love him! :)

Summer! {Part 1}

Life with 2 little boys is amazing!  There is no way to describe just how fun everyday is.  Almost everyday I'm telling Daniel to go look at the pictures on my camera of what happened in just the few hours that he was away.  Every moment is filled with so much joy and something new!  Smiles, Laughs, Cars, Balls, Snuggles, Bumps, Bruises, Dirt, Learning...I love it! :)  These pictures give just a tiny glimpse of what our days are like, they do not do near good enough though.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

While making our bed one morning I put James in Titus' "Big Boy Bed".  Titus joined him there and thought it was so much fun!

You will often find cars like these decorating my house - Courtesy of Titus!

 Isn't that just the cutest little face!?!

Playing (decorating) with cars in the window sill.  Two things down at once - cars and looking outside!

Daisies everywhere! 

We've been taking a walk every evening for the last 2 weeks and hope to keep it up until the weather forces us to stop! :)  The boys love their ride.

Caught!  He will suck his thumb if he doesn't have his pacifier. After I took the picture I gave him his pacifier.    :)

Homemade Fudge Pops!  Titus thought they were great!  He made such a mess he needed a bath!!  Now we have Homemade Yogurt Pops!

I love James precious smile!

Helping make lasagna.  He thought the ingredients tasted great alone... :)

Babysitting... (He thinks!)

We got them these matching outfits, they are so cute together.  I love being able to match them!

Couldn't help - I just love smiles!

Since Summer officially starts today this will be continued, I have many more pictures to share! :)  I was going to make it into one post but decided against it, it'd be way too long.  The weather has been great here, summery and beautiful.  Our grasses are getting dry due to the small amount of rain but it's still beautiful.  We got 5 chicks and 10 keets on Sunday that I have yet to get a picture of.  We have plans of building a chicken tractor for them soon. Titus loves the "birds" but won't even get close to touching them! :)  He's so funny!

To be continued...
