Army Dudes

Come on big bro - stop looking pretty for the camera and teach me how to army crawl!

I thought we were posing for a picture...so how did I end up in a head lock?

Sweetness

I forgot how sweet this stage is...

You can barely see his bottom tooth poking out from behind his lip.

The Softer (Quieter) side of Charlie

When Charlie isn't tearing through the house yelling "BEEP BEEP! Comin' through!!" he can be found completing the very intricate task of lining up his cars.  

And, lately he's been into puzzles.  He really surprised us by barely needing any assistance to complete this one with 24 pieces!  

More Milestones

The last few weeks have been filled with firsts for Lukas.  Look who's sitting up now!!

Brothers are "Out of this World"

First Tooth

I can't quite seem to capture a good picture of his tooth, it's still so small.  But many of you have been asking to see it, so here goes.  This is the closest I have gotten; if you squint, you can see it :-)

Look closely - bottom right hand side in the middle

And a bonus pic for your viewing enjoyment of our happy little guy!

First Foods

After a few weeks of introducing "solids," Lukas is finally getting the hang of it and is actually wanting to eat some.  Most of it still ends up all over his face, but do you ever reach a point of clean eating with little ones!?!

Since we can't be close on a day-to-day basis, we thought we would post a video of this very important milestone.  Please disregard the bouncy video at the end from Charlie pounding the camera man (Paul) with a paper towel roll.  At least you'll understand why there is a glass of wine at arms length!!

Kissable

Aren't these cheeks just scrumptious!?!

C - Man

Charlie is just under one month shy of 3 years old.  He continues to be a bundle of energy.  

Fun in the tub - he could stay in the water for hours!

He enjoys the Bumbo seat almost as much as Lukas does!

Getting SO Big...

Where does the time go?!?  Lukas is almost growing out of his PUJ tub (greatest invention EVER by the way)

 He loves playing with the water...

Catching Up

Well, somehow Christmas and New Years snuck by and here we are in January already.  We had a blast down in California for Christmas.  Sorry for not posting of all of our fun times.  It takes us a full week just getting back into the full swing of things.

In the midst of all of the travel - little Lukas turned 5 months old!!! He has just gotten his first tooth - we will try to snag a pic of it once you can see it a little easier.  Lots of new things for this little man.

Here's what he's up to these days:

Grabbing his feet

Exploring his activity center

And we even tried baby cereal for the first time...

Um...not so much mom!

Thank goodness that's over!
