Keavan at 3 1/2


Our big boy is growing up so fast. He is very smart and very active. He can add any 2 digits under 10, write almost all of his letters, spell his name and he knows all of his phonics. We are working on reading skills and he has a few sight words. He loves puzzles and playdough and dressing up in costumes. He is very much a boy because everything lately is a gun and he is usually pretending to be some sort of super hero. He also enjoys dressing up in his friend's sister's Disney princess dresses though. He is definitely our little drama king. He played soccer in May and Chelsea was his coach. I should say that he wore a soccer uniform and ran around the field with his friend Austin, completely oblivious to the game going on around them. Oh well. At least they weren't watching TV, right? Speaking of which, are any of you familiar with the show Kai-lan? It's like Dora, only in Chinese. Now he is teaching me Chinese words to go along with the Spanish ones he sprinkles in to everyday usage. Thanks Noggin.

AJ at 6 months


Our baby boy is 6 months old now and he is hilarious! He is seriously the happiest, easiest baby I have ever seen. He belly laughs when you kiss him and he loves to give sloppy, wet kisses back. He thinks Keavan is the greatest thing on the planet. We try to tell Keavan to be gentle, but it's hard to convince him that he might hurt AJ when AJ is laughing! He can roll over back to front, but doesn't very often. He doesn't really do anything else. He loves his Baby Einstein exersaucer and shows no real interest in being mobile...which is fine with me! We are enjoying him greatly at this adorable stage and are in no hurry for him to get any bigger. Although, it would be nice if he could sit up on his own so I could put him in the cart at the grocery store. His infant carrier weighs a ton! He's 16 pounds 12 ounces and 26 inches long, as of May 22.

And we finally join the revolution...

I decided that it was time to enter the wonderful world of blogging. Because I need something else to do. Ha ha. It seems that I can keep up with everyone else's lives, it's time I allow you to do the same.

I turned 30 yesterday and celebrated with a whirlwind trip to Cape. I never thought I'd be excited about being home for my birthday, but it was nice. I did, however, make the mistake of driving by my parents' old house and discovered that it is now purple. 'Tis sad. But it was a good trip. It's nice to go "home" once in a while.

I will add new pictures of the boys and try to write something at least once a week, so check back often. And if you have a blog, let me know so I can add it to my list!
