We love blueberries!

We're on day two of no baby food!! They are now eating table food exclusively. Favorites are alphabet pasta with cheese and they LOVE toast. These guys are loving every new food they try. Today we had blueberries after lunch and they went crazy over them. Tommy actually smeared them all over himself...his arm STILL has a nice blueberry streak! The above were taken at lunch today.

Two new teeth!

Photo from this morning...

Cole has been drooling like a St. Bernard lately...and now I know why! This morning there were two new pearly whites on the bottom. So he has 4 on bottom and 4 on top. Tommy usually cuts his right around the same time, so we'll need to prepare ourselves. Cole breezes through teething with out much fussing...but his brother? Watch out!

There's a storm brewing for sure...

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary!! It's amazing how many things have happened in our lives over the past three years.

-We've traveled a bunch: Aruba, Belize, Florida, Costa Rica...and soon Fiji.
-We purchased our dream home and spent MANY hours painting, tearing up carpet, pulling off wall paper and renovating.
-We've hosted cookouts, luaus, christenings, birthday parties and babypalloozas and managed to survive without killing each other. Barely.
-We got pregnant...made the big announcement and then months later made the even bigger announcement that we were having twins. Gave birth to two beautiful boys who ended up being identical afterall. And now here I sit...typing away while they are ransacking the living room in fits of giggles. :)

We've been married three years, have been blessed with two beautiful children and we're still best friends. Does it get any better than this?!? We are buckling our seat belts and getting ready for whatever comes our way next. Stay tuned!

Here's a quick trip down memory lane.

Cole's playing catch up!

This morning I went in to get the boys -- and Cole was standing! They were in hysterics...clearly pleased that they are both able to participate in one anothers hijinks now. :) Cole's helmet is now gone, and he is accomplishing new things left and right. He is catching up with his brother fast. I think Tommy is in for a shock when Cole starts stealing HIS toys!!!

We had this photo shoot this morning for some upcoming birthdays. The pictures came out so cute...I couldn't pick a favorite.

The boy LOVES to stand!

Here are some pictures of Tommy. He LOVES to stand up and will pull himself up on just about everything! He stands at the gate and calls me when I'm in the kitchen. Mama mama mama!
