Alex first.
He's now 11 months!
He's full out walking now and has been for a few weeks. He's been taking steps since he was 9 months old, but just finally ditched the crawling to devote himself to full time walker status.
He LOVES our garbage and recycling containers and is constantly pulling things out of them, though usually just the recycling.
He likes to pull Anna's hair and bite our toes.
He likes to growl-at church, the grocery store, etc.
He loves to see Anna in the morning and always smiles and is happy to see her.
He likes to wave and it's so cute!
He loves the aquaphor container and is constantly trying to get his little hands in it.
He likes music and almost instantly starts bouncing his little legs when he hears music.
He is REALLY good at imitating us. We'll move our arms a certain way or make a certain sound and he'll do the same.
He is a wiggle worm and it is always a struggle to change his diaper, lotion him after a bath, put his clothes on, etc.
He loves Anna's room and if we don't close the door, will go in and play with her toys.
He likes to strum his lips and then will try and strum our lips with his little fingers.
He has discovered kitchen cabinets and drawers and loves getting into them.
He nurses 4 times a day and loves finger foods! (I'll be weaning him in the next few weeks).
Here are some random pictures.
Dan thought it would be funny to fit him in his backpack. Who needs a baby carrier? :)
Alex loves to play with daddy and I think daddy likes to play with him too!
He has the sweetest little smile.
I can't believe he's getting so big!
We normally bathe him in the bathtub, but when we had our counters redone, we couldn't go in the bathroom, so he got a bath in the sink! He loves baths and would seriously crawl/fall in the bathtub if we didn't stop him.
This lamp is just a big hit with the kids. Anna would always grab it too when she was little.
Here is Anna, when she was maybe 9 months old. She just got done grabbing the lamp.
Anna is just her cute little self. Her conversational skills are getting better and better. One cute thing she says is laster time and yester time. Instead of last time or yesterday. It's really cute. She still has her little peculiarities. Like she HAS to open our security and front door. She gets REALLY mad if we do it. She has to touch the van door first, before I can open it. She has to put the waffle or bread in the microwave and will get mad if I do it.
She can be nice to Alex, but honestly she basically takes his toys, pushes him down and puts her blanket over his head-a lot-like, all day long. It can get really annoying. I try and be patient about it, but since it's a nonstop thing, I'm not always the most patient about it.
I let her watch a TV show when Alex naps and she knows it and is always very excited to do so.
She says All day a lot. For example, Alex will be eating pasta and she'll say, Alex likes to eat pasta...all day!
Here is a little craft project we did. We made her a hat. I know it's ugly, but she liked it!
She takes her blocks and makes a camera out of it and then takes our picture.
Dan made one too!
Here is an outfit I got at the thrift store for $1.60 !
Old Navy jeans and a Disney Pooh shirt. Score!
I'm so blessed to have such sweet little babies. And to have a wonderful husband and father who loves his little babies too!
He even shares his breakfast with them!
Oatmeal for everyone. :)
