Grins & Giggles

Today Joseph has been drowning us in smiles. He's turned out to be quite the little charmer. And I think he's realized that he can totally work that smile to get whatever he wants from whoever he wants.

We met Greg and some of his work buddies for lunch today before hitting the outlet mall for halloween costume shopping. Lauren fell under his spell as soon as he cracked that big, flirty grin across his face. She's in love.

Another one bites the dust.

A new trick he's also learned - mimicking mommy's giggles. I. Could. Die! He was standing in my lap, flashing me his pearly... gums and gurgling to me. I, of course, was smiling back so big my face could crack in half and laughing. He was really intensely studying my face, and suddenly he busts out with these adorable little giggles just like mommy! They were a bit forced, but honestly to see him work it out and find a way to copy what I was doing felt pretty amazing. So, so cute!

I wish I could catch it on video, but when it's happening, I'm much too busy soaking it all up to think about grabbing the camcorder.

In other news, look at how freaking adorable my boys look in real clothes! Why, oh, why have I just been dressing them in onesies this entire time when real clothes are so stinking cute!?

Luke's concentrating & Joseph's sucking his bottom lip

Want to know how I got them both looking at me? Beer!
No, really.
They were staring at daddy's can of Tecate so I grabbed it, flashed it in their faces and then held it above my head. Mommy's learning new tricks every day too!

The boys are 3 months & 3 weeks old.
