Springtime

I'm gonna get those balls!!!!

Brendan is SO SUPER CLOSE to crawling it's not even funny!  Tonight the kids were having fun playing together and Brendan was determined to get some balls. 
Also, Brendan is a very good eater!  We're up to about 3 jars of baby food a day plus tons of milk still :)  Growing up soooo fast!!!!

 In the highchair getting ready for some lunch!

 First he wiggles on his belly and kicks his legs (all while grunting!).....

 ...then he pushes up really high!

Lea wanted to say "hi"  :)

I have attempted to video Brendan trying to crawl several times and he always stopped when I got the camera out.  I sort of got him doing it, although he was much quieter than usual.  Lea is saying "baby share" and "baby ball"  in the video.  We are really working on sharing with the baby :)  She is getting better!! Yay!!

Hi everyone!

 Enjoy!

 Brendan is SO close to crawling, he likes going after the big red ball!

 Brendan now weighs 16 lbs and is 27 in long!
Lea is 22 1/2 lbs and 33 in long...not much difference! haha

 Such a silly girl :)

Lea loves to hold her little brother



Mischevious? haha



Brendan has the sweetest smiles :)

Long time, no see

As usual, I'm sorry for the delay :)  We've been very busy working on the house, having many visitors, and getting in shape by working out everyday! (well, almost every day haha)

Lea is getting so big...I can't believe she will be turning two in just a couple months!!!  She had a GREAT time at Christmas, and hasn't even gotten to play with everything yet! haha 

Brendan is also getting very big...I think he'll be catching up to Lea very quickly!  He is rolling around everywhere and probably will be crawling within the next month.

Here are some pics to cover the last couple months.  They are not in order, but oh well :)  You still get the idea haha

Lea coloring on her magnadoodle (spelling??) with a very stylish outfit choice!  Pj's, dress shoes, and a hoodie. 



Let the teething begin!  Daddy's hand tastes pretty good I guess :)



Trying so hard to crawl!



Chilling in the baby seats



I believe Lea got everything they make for Dora for Christmas!



Giraffe scooter was a hit!



Opening her Dora backpack...she plays with this all the time!



Brendan tried to open some gifts..he made it through two then fell asleep!



Brendan's Baptism...Godparents Casey and Kati



Lea was so tired she couldn't even stay awake to eat her "toast" (which is what we call grilled cheese so she'll eat it!)

Tried to get them to lay down to get a comparison for growth...you can tell they were both thrilled!



Brendan puts everything in his mouth!  And slobbers and drools more than any child I've ever seen :)



Decorating for Christmas!

Brendan's Baptism...Lea was so sick she slept through the whole thing!  I believe this might be our first family photo with the four of us.
