SO BIG!!!



i love him so much!

MOMMY UPDATE

Thought I would give you all an update on how I am doing. I am happy to report that things are much better. I've been standing up for myself, which is helping with the anxiety at work. My family & friends have been really supportive as well, which is helping me figure out balancing all of this. Work, the boys, the house, my marriage... Thank you to all of you who have listened, offered advice, washed a bottle or held a baby. I love you & can't thank you enough for your help!
I was worried I wasn't going to make it to that March appointment, but things are looking up already. The boys are sleeping through the night most nights, and that makes everything better. Sleep is truly priceless! They are getting to be really fun- crawling & pulling up on things. They also get super excited when they see me, which makes me feel really good.
As you can see on the recent posts, we are enjoying our bath time, and I am really looking forward to the summer. Staying home with Josh will be so much fun! We are planning to do swim classes with the boys, go to the zoo, walk the waterfront & just have lots of much needed family time.
I decided to add on a picture I took of Logan & Jack tonight. This is Jack "hugging" Logan. (Or just smashing his face into Logan's backside, depending on how you look at it.) He coos when he does it & Logan laughs. It's so precious!

OFF ON AN ADVENTURE...

"You coming, mom?"

"Okay, see you later!"

A SATURDAY STROLL

Don't walk in front of me,
I may not follow;

Don't walk behind me,
I may not lead;

Just walk beside me

and be my friend.

HAIR STYLIST???

Perhaps Auntie Roxanne has found her calling. These hairstyles are just killer on the boys!

I love the "Laydown Mohawk" on Logan.

And Jack's "Einstein Smarty Pants" hairdo is fabulous!

If we continue to style his hair this way, he could be reading by next week!

P.S. I know that I continually post pictures of bath time. It is my favorite time of day because it means I have survived another day with two 8 month olds! I also love bath time because it is so much fun- splashing, laughing & chewing on toys. Plus they are just so squishable afterwards. Clean, smelling yummy & ready for their night time bottle & snuggle. My favorite!

DROOL

Logan has been working on his second bottom tooth, so he can catch up with Jack's two teeth, of course! And the drool from said tooth has been UNBELIEVABLE!!! He worked through three bibs in ONE HOUR today at Hanna Andersson with my mom & sister.

SATURDAY MORNING PLAYTIME


They are getting so big! This morning they were playing together on the outside of their bouncy seat. They like to play with it at this angle now! So funny!

LOGAN

The boys' Aunt Andrea came over yesterday & was playing with her new camera, snapping shots of the boys. This is one that she liked. I can't wait for her to do their nine month photos!

GREAT UNCLE STEVE

My dad's brother, Steve, is in town today from Texas.
Here he is with Jack.

Logan & Aunt Roxanne

Papa Barry, Logan, Jack & Great Uncle Steve

We all got together at my mom's house to have dinner & catch up with Steve while he is in town. We missed Great Aunt Kathy, though!

Hooray for piggies!

TWO MUCH FUN!!!
