A Very Un-Sleepy Baby

I am so very far behind in my blogging. I do plan on publishing many posts from the last few weeks but at the moment, this is what I'm contending with...

Luke is sometimes hard to get to sleep, but once he finally nods off, we usually don't have to worry about him for hours. However, not tonight...









The boys are 4 months, 1 week & 1 day old.

Our New Ride

Courtesy of Mimi, Grandpa Mac & Uncle Trav, the boys have a new super swanky, smooth ride.


This was the one "mommy accessory" that I was dying to have as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I never told my mom this. One day she sent me an email with a link to the BOB Duallie, saying she'd like to get us one. And that's when I fell over dead.

LOVE IT!

The boys do too. It's an instant meltdown cure - priceless.


She also bought the boys these adorable hats. I am an absolute sucker for hats with ears.








The boys are 4 months & 6 days old.

I'm a Lucky Lady

I think my mom looks beautiful in these photos.




Throw in a handsome husband...

Luke has the best pout and Joseph the best serious face. Very, very serious.







...and you get one lucky & grateful mama.


The boys are 4 months & 5 days old.

4 Months Old

Our day in pictures...

Let's try something...



What a strong boy you are, Joseph!




Luke is absolutely in love with the smiley face on that star.



He'll smile and make ooey gooey faces at it forever.



Joseph discovers his toes!



What are these amazing things?!



Propped up to play with Mimi







Bath time!




Ready for bed



It's a good day to be a 4-month-old. :)

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.

Reporting back. As promised.

I'm sitting here feeding Luke but can hear the odd wail from the bedroom. As I'm wondering how long it will take for this situation to play itself out, in walks Greg carrying Joseph in his arms. Response time: good, possibly even better than average. Looks promising.

Greg walks over to the couch, sets Joseph down, and stands up to take a few deep, exaggerated breathes while holding his stomach. Ok, not so good.

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.

I just look over and say Greg. Whatever you do. Do NOT yack on our son.
