Exploring the Front Yard!

We usually hang out in the backyard, but one afternoon last week, we moved the circus to the front yard, so Braiden could ride his trike.

 

Braiden's "old-new" trike from Freecycle! 

Silly Daddy, trikes are for kids! :-)

Noah got to try it out too. He is becoming very coordinated!

Mmm, yum. Car horns are tasty.

 

Noah in his typical mood - happy.

Assorted front yard fun...

And bonus pictures of Braiden's house, a.k.a the night stand.

9 Month Pictures (+ Others!)

About a week and a half ago, Michael took pictures of the boys, at a lake near us.

















The boys have been busy playing together and getting over the stubborn colds! Noah is crawling away, pulling up to stand, and sitting up from crawling. Braiden is busy with his cars, friends at our playgroups, and is saying more words! Most days, the weather has been more tolerable, so we have been on the go go GO!

Noah in Action

The boys playing together about a month ago.

We have some new videos for you:

First one has Noah scooting, and Braiden greeting you. :)

In the second one, the boys are in the playroom. Noah discovered maracas!

So what's going on with us? Same old, same old (not that it's ever boring!). The boys keep us busy from dawn to dusk, and we are having so much fun with them. Fall has brought different activities for us to do during the weekdays, and we have really enjoyed making new friends! Right now both boys have colds (although Noah's runny nose could just be teething), so this week has been quieter.

Happy 23 months to Braiden! Amazing, only a month to go until his 2nd birthday...

Noah Is 9 Months Old!

I'm 9 months old today!


Enjoying a banana.


Brushing my teeth - 3rd one just came through today!




Comfy? The way both boys always sit in the highchair!

Haircuts and Doctor Visits

Noah had his 9 month appointment today! He is 21 lbs 5oz (9,667 g) and 29.5 inches (75 cm). No shots today, woohoo! Everything looks well, although he is starting to exhibit "white coat" anxiety...

He is really mastering his elbow crawl and loves to find every speck of dirt on the floor. Life really is wonderful now that he can dish Braiden his own medicine: stealing toys!!


Before... and after!

Braiden, aka Shaggy Dog, finally got a haircut. It looks pretty nice, despite the restraining that we needed to do at first. It was getting really long and since he has Daddy's thick hair, uncomfortably hot.

It's official... I'm in a blogging slump. Bear with me here, while I try to get at least a weekly post up. :-)
