Still alive and well...

Wow! Has it really been two months since I last posted anything? I guess you could say we've been a little busy and some big changes have taken place. Stay tuned for a larger update soon!

In the meantime, here's a little video to hold you over!

ABC's and 123's

Isaiah is getting better and better at his alphabet and his counting! I could just listen to that little voice forever! :)

I could just eat them up....

These boys just get sweeter and yummier each day! I love each moment I get to spend with them (I even try to rejoice in the sleepless moments and remember that there are women who would LOVE to lose sleep from a precious baby!)

So much has been happening in the past few weeks, especially with our Noah. He is growing and changing so rapidly it is hard to keep up. We took the boys for well-check visits a couple weeks ago and they are both healthy and wonderful! Isaiah was 29 pounds and Noah was 17 lbs. 14 oz. The biggest shock of the visit was that Noah's head is in the 90%. WHAT??!? My babies heads have always been small! Honestly, I think maybe the nurse mis-measured a little bit, however, Noah's head shape is very different from Isaiah's so I suppose she wasn't too far off!

Noah had cereal for the first time just a couple days before he turned 6 months. He was not a fan of plain cereal so after a few tries I quickly added some other flavors and he started doing much better. He is now eating like a champ and eating a TON! He's tried carrots, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, pears and bananas. He wasn't too crazy about peas at first but they have grown on him and he's doing much better!

This picture is from his first experience with cereal! Isaiah loves Noah's head for some reason and anytime he kisses him, it's always on the head!

Noah was trying to get a closer look at the sting rays

Isaiah loves the beach!
Noah has gotten really great at sitting on his own! He still topples occasionally but is pretty good about catching himself!

Ah.....my boys
Oh that face....
Loving daddy's hat!

So sweetCousins!
Uncle E thought it would be fun to bury Isaiah in the sand. He is very excited about it in this picture but it did have to grow on him! And it didn't last long! :)

This is the face Isaiah makes when you ask him to close his eyes! So cute!!!

Isaiah is doing great and has quite the vocabulary (and personality!). It seems as though he says new things everyday and we are seeing him understand things more and more. He cracks us up everyday and we love his little personality. He is so sweet and loves to love on us. At night when we are going through our bedtime routine, his way of stalling is to have Eric and I both pray. He asks one of us to pray first then the other one has to pray also. Then he starts jibbering words we don't understand and we just have to walk out. Then he goes to sleep quickly and easily but he tries to prolong it with prayer! Maybe he'll just be a big prayer warrior one day! He also insists on praying at each meal and this is his prayer every single time, "Dear Jesus, please keep mommy daddy safe, Amen." He loves his brother and loves that his brother loves him! He often says, "Noah yikes me, mommy!"

Noah is wonderful, as well. He is scooting and army-crawling everywhere! He is also putting everything in his mouth. I really have to scan the area when I put him down and make sure there is nothing that could hurt him! He is eating solids twice a day and I think he's just about ready for a third meal also. He is still nursing four times a day and sleeping pretty well too. He sleeps about 11 hours a night and takes two naps a day. The naps are really consistent as far as how long they are. Some days I get two 2 hour naps and other days I get an hour here and an hour there. I can't complain though because it could certainly be worse! The nurse and the doctor kind of put me in my place about his sleeping. Isaiah was an amazing sleeper and was so easy to train to sleep. Noah has been a different story but still a precious little boy. It's amazing how two people can have two little boys and raise them the exact same way and they are just so different!

I am head over heels in love with my three boys!

Have a great weekend!

Big Laugher!

Isaiah loves it when Eric spins the football on the floor and he just so happened to be holding Noah last night when he did it.  Well, needless to say, once you watch this video, you will be able to see that Noah thought it was the funniest thing he has ever seen!  It was adorable!  We just love hearing our boys laugh and this was the first time we'd heard Noah laugh this hard!  I hope it brings joy to your day like it did to ours!

Have a great weekend!!!!

Big Talker

I haven't done a video in a while so I thought I would post one of our little "Big Talker"! :) Noah loves to show off his voice and it is just so darn cute!

So Delicious...

My boys, that is!  They are so delicious!  I just love every little thing about them!  We are going through challenging times with both of them right now but NONE of it takes away from how much a momma loves her little boys! :)

This first picture is of Noah enjoying his swing and Isaiah had given him just a few toys to play with!  Sweet big brother!

Typical male....that's all!
Noah has been really enjoying his Bumbo lately!  He's getting better at sitting on his own unassisted but not there quite yet!  He would actually MUCH rather stand than sit!  He tries to stand all the time!
I love his eyes in this one!  Looks shocked by something but I don't think anything was going on!
Isaiah is so attentive to Noah!  He wanted to share Daddy's hat!
Noah is chewing....and drooling....and chewing.....and drooling!  I sure hope there's something to show for it SOON and VERY SOON!  I seriously have to change bibs and clothes several times daily because he SOAKS them!
I got some pics of the boys this morning in their matching PJ's!  TOO CUTE!  Isaiah wanted to hold Noah's hands!



Don't you just want to eat them up??????

Just a bunch of randoms...

Recently, Isaiah has been so into Noah!  He asks me all the time if he can hold him and often tries to pick him up himself.  The other day he was holding him on the couch and looked at me and said, "camera mommy".  It's not often he WANTS his picture taken but apparently he did that day!

I don't even remember the offense now but I thought this was awfully cute!  Isaiah had to stand in the corner and he took it seriously!
I was taking pictures of Noah and Isaiah needed to get in on the action!
Noah was enjoying his Bumbo and his feet! :)

We put Noah in the high chair during dinner the other night and he loved it!  No food for him yet but he enjoyed sitting with us!
I know I did a post of stroller pictures already but I loved both boy's faces in this one!
Isaiah being sweet and showing his brother a toy!
If we let him, I seriously believe Isaiah would play with play-dough for hours and hours each day!


Have an awesome weekend!
