Do you notice anything AMAZING about these photos?

The boys can hold their own bottles!!!!! Tommy was the first to do it a couple of days ago...but now Cole is too. I just plopped them in their seats...handed them the bottle and that was it. Can it REALLY be this easy? :) Cole was so proud of himself this morning (as you can see).

They mastered the sippy cups awhile back, but those have handles so are a bit easier. And they would "occassionally" hold their bottles, but get frustrated towards the end as they didn't understand they needed to lift them up. Today was a different story.

They are both still sitting in their seats playing with their empty bottles and babbling away to each other. I am one happy mama!

First dip in the pool!

Tuesday we had a playdate with Tommy and Cole's friends and took them swimming in the pool for the first time. The water was a bit chilly...but the day was warm and the sun was shining. The boys loved it!! Tommy was gasping a bit when his toes first touched the water...but once he got used to the temperature it was smooth sailing. Cole is my water baby. He was kicking before his feet even touched the water.

Here are some cute pics of the boys from the day...

Thing 1 and Thing 2

Dr. Suess does it again! Thank you Kerri and Chris for these onesies...they are too cute! The boys love this story...now they fit the part. We were SO silly this morning during our photo shoot. These guys had me belly laughing!!! Enjoy...

Camera Shy?

This video cracks me up. I TRIED to get Tommy to say "mama" on video...this was his response.

MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He said it!!! Tommy said MAMA!! I am flying right now. I just gave the boys their tubs and was tucking them in when he just looked at me and said it. I got so excited and he started laughing and just kept saying it over and over. YAY! This really was the BEST day!!! Now just need to get it on video!!

He is babbling away in his crib right now...mama dada lala....he is so funny. Clearly proud of himself!
