Have One!

Micah is saying more and more phrases now, instead of just words. One that's been cracking me up lately is, "Have one." He says it when he's sharing his goldfish or animal crackers or other snacks with me. The other thing he likes to share is whatever vegetable I put on his plate at dinner. And by "share," I mean that he says "Have one," and then holds out his green bean without ever taking a bite. I guess he doesn't mind giving all his veggies away.

I know this is late, but here are some pictures from June:

Enjoy!

Two-month photo shoot

When Micah was about two months old, I did an impromptu photo shoot in our living room using a white sheet thrown over the couch. Grandma Brown wanted me to take some pics of Eli at the same age, so we got out the sheet and did it again.

This next one was an imitation of one from Micah's photo shoot:

And here's Micah at two months:

Back to Eli:

I love this one:

And another of Micah for comparison:

I've got some cute little boys, eh?

Pictures!

Well, this is a rare occasion--both boys are sleeping! So I had the opportunity to post some pictures to facebook. Also, I don't think I posted the link to April's pictures, so I'll go ahead and do that now.

What else is new? It's been so long since I've updated you on Micah..... He's 33 pounds now and about that many inches tall. We had to get him a bigger car seat. He loves counting and can make it to thirteen on his own (except he skips "11" every time). He can recognize all the numbers and about a dozen letters. Right now he's into playing basketball on his new hoop, playing with bubbles, getting the mail, and running. He loves to be outside, whether in the back yard or taking walks or whatever. I tried to get him to run through the sprinkler with me, but I think it will take some convincing.

Elijah is almost two months old. He's flashed a couple of smiles, but I'm still waiting for them to be consistent. He eats about every three hours and has one "big sleep" of about five or six hours every night. He's a pretty good baby, with a little bit of fussiness, but not much. His torso is long, like his brother's and dad's, so he's about to outgrow most of his 0-3 months clothes. He just keeps growing! He loves to be held, so I spend most of my time with him in my arms or on my lap.

I'm settling into a routine, I guess you could say, of having two kids. It's a lot more work! But each day gets easier, especially as Eli settles into a more predictable schedule. Life is good!

Is This Wrong?

Okay, so I know I've seen this happen on America's Funniest Home Videos, but they were teasing their pets, not their children. Still, it's funny, right?

Eli's Newborn Pictures

Here are a few pictures that were taken by the talented Lisa Osier (her son is in our youth group). Let me know if you would like prints of any of these, and I'll get them ordered for you!


This next one is hilarious...
