Molly's Birthday Party

This weekend we joined Molly to celebrate her first birthday. She was so cute and such a gracious hostess! Here are some pics from the day.

Happy Birthday Molly!

Sunday play

It's really hot and humid here in Florida now. Since everyone likes to play outside, this Sunday, I thought adding some water to the mix would be fun. The boys had a great time and we got some really cute pictures.



Right now, in the boys' world, all things belong on your head. Here Cameron's trying out a cup hat.


I'm still Connor's favorite toy and he thinks it's hysterical when I move my finger or hand over his mouth while he makes noise. Cameron's still trying to figure out what this cup's good for.


A bucket and a cup... hmmm...



Cameron has such an infectious smile!




THIS is what you do with it!!!



And I can get a drink with it.


Right on!


Taking a break


Moving the fun inside.



This smile made my day!

Lazy Saturday

Connor had a high fever all day and night Saturday so he was cuddly for a change. It was nice to snuggle with him so much while watching Cameron practice his running skills.

Independence Day

For the 4th of July, we went over to our friends, Jay & Dorothy's house. They were having a party with LOTS of children included. Our little guys made a valiant effort to stay awake but were barely able to keep their eyes open by 8 PM after so many hours of excitement. So no fireworks this year. Maybe next year!

13 month update

The boys are officially toddlers. Here's an update on their newest discoveries and tricks.

BOTH BOYS
* Are cuter than ever!
* Are still great eaters. They will eat anything you feed them. If they don't like it, they cry but still open their mouths to accept the food and swallow. It is so funny. We know they really don't like green beans so we don't force the issue.
* They had salmon which they both really enjoyed. It was pretty cute when they tried it. Connor's eyes got big and he started grunting and bouncing in his seat wanting more. Cameron was also pretty animated over it. This works out nicely since we are a "fishy" family.
* Love their Nana! My mom spends some time each Saturday with the boys. When she comes over to get them, both boys get very excited and go to her wanting her to pick them up. It's very sweet.
* Now mind it when the other takes something they were looking at. They will fuss but will not yet attempt to get the object back.
* Now that Dad gives the boys their baths, they have learned to enjoy the shower. They get a regular bath and then a final rinse with the shower head. When Dad says "It's shower time," Cameron looks up to the shower head.


CAMERON
* Prefers walking as his primary means of self transit, however, being carried is still even better.
* Says mama, mommy, dada, bye (along with a hand wave done by opening and closing his fist), and many indecipherable babblings.
* Still only has 8 teeth.
* Really enjoys being read to now. He will pick up a book and bring it over to have it read to him.

CONNOR
* Can definitely walk now although he prefers to be holding onto something to keep his balance. Walking is still more of a novelty for him and if he wants to get from A to B he will drop to his knees and crawl.
* Still only says "ba" singularly and strung together (ba ba, baba, etc) with a variety of inflections and volumes to clearly tell us what he means to say. It's very cute but we still have no idea what he actually means.
* Has 4 teeth and has many more working their way in.
* Will frequently reach over to Cameron to hold his hand when they are sitting together.
* Gets really upset if Cameron is upset. If Cameron starts crying, Connor usually will too. Cameron can also make Connor really happy by just smiling at him. It's so sweet.
