CHARLIE'S WALKING!!! pretty exciting news around here we have 2 little baby walkers!!! Connor you are very "fly by the seat of your pants" and Charlie you are very cautious and think things thru before you try it out. Connor walked first and was very clumsy but still walked first, Charlie you waited 2 weeks and watched Connor and learned from his mistakes... you walked second but you can go from a sitting position to standing without holding on to anything!!! That's some serious core strength!!! Also your very good at walking for just starting 2 days ago. So this mama is so excited!! You both make me so proud!!! We haven't pushed you guys to walk you just kinda figured it out on your own!! Its so amazing to watch you grow and learn.

Charlie you were pretty whiney this week, we think your just getting spoiled and wanting people to hold you all day. We're trying to break the whining but still getting lots of cuddles. Also your becoming a very pickie eater... which is not fun.. you love cheese and chicken...

Connor your such a good eater these days ... you eat most anything we put in front of you... except riced colieflour you didn't like it at all.

Mama got her knee checked out, I had a cyst on it for 8 or so months and I kept putting off going to the doctor, well last Saturday I was crawling around chasing/playing with you guys and felt a pop... well long story short the doctor had to drain (eww gross mom!!) The rest of the cyst then he put steroids in my knee. Yesterday was the most painful day.. but today is much better... pain is gone but it's still soar but I'm sure I'll be back to 100% very soon.

Daddy had a good work week then got to spend 3 days in the middle of the week with you guys. I think this new job is going to work out great!!

I know I say it every week but you guys are such a joy in our lives... I hate to sound like a sappy story, but our lives were nothing before you guys. We are the happiest little family. Every day is a gift and we are so dang lucky!!

Charlie you LOVE this train 

 Grumpy guy after an afternoon nap
 We went to kks on Sunday to play and get you guys out of the house... on the way home Connor covered his head with his blankie and went to sleep ... cutest. Thing. Ever!
 Then Sunday your other auntie came over for a couple of hours and loved on you guys!!! You are so lucky to have 2 aunts and an uncle and cousins so close that love you so much!!


 Pictures are out of order!! At kks they let you guys have the trampoline all to your selves!!




 Playing so good together

 Playing... wrestling... at least no one was crying....
 You guys love ice water... the colder the better
 And you love to stare out the window at the horses across the street... or cars going by... or people coming and going...

 And daddy sent this picture to me while I was at work.... not cool guys... your learning to climb... you pushed the walker over and climbed up...

 Back at kks you got to ride in some cool cars!!!



And most (all) days we end with cuddles thank God we got 2 of you guys or mommy and daddy would be fighting for cuddles... 

Love you 2 boys so much!!
