First attempt at coloring. Matteo enjoyed eating his crayon. Louis had his paci, luckily.

Matteo's first stitches. He's a new walker...

Riding out hurricane Sandy restoration at Abuela and Pop Pop's house

Look at me!

Why we have wrinkled laundry

They are drinking out of straw cups. They are so proud of themselves! 

Trouble!

Matteo was the first to test the toilet paper roll. 

First shoes!

Lou-future EMT?

Cheerios

Yep-he is eating them!

Louis may just have eaten a honey nut cheerio, oop...

Louis may just have eaten a honey nut cheerio, oops.

Roaming

I will post videos soon - this is insane - I hope the cat and I are ready for 3 on the move.  Louis has dumped the cat food twice now.  He's fast!

Milestones again, and again

Matteo just sat up all by himself...

Snip, snip, snip

Matteo was looking at us through a forest of hair...a little trim was needed.  I think I did a pretty good job!

Before

After

First Fourth of July

We spent some time outside, but they were in bed by 7pm!

Oh yeah

Did I mention they are sitting, too.

Don't tell Izzy!

We really like her chair!

Oh boy!

Uh oh - Louis is doing that up on his hands and knees rocking thing...you know what comes next...

Grandma's visit!

Grandma can do it all

New Hats!

I bought these handmade for the boys from a great shop on Etsy.

She is delightful - become a customer!

May 28 - First day @ the beach

First day @ the beach ever!
May 28, Memorial day 2012.

More fangs

Nothing has pushed through all the way yet - but Matteo has a tooth coming, too!

Someone needs a toothbrush!

I was wondering why our best eater was being so fussy and not eating as well as usual, so I looked in Louis's mouth for thrush or something and found 2 bottom teeth poking through!  Who knew!?!  But I guess that explains why he is up at night, too.  What a big boy!

Monkeys

Louis & Matteo just enjoyed their first taste of mashed banana!  So far, they will eat everything.

Mother's day - with Pop Pop

First Solid Food!

Creep

There is so much to update - but this is fun, too.  Louis is rolling and creeping all over.  I guess he wants to explore more than the play mat.  He started out next to Matteo

We have runny noses but we are cool.

I broke out the saucer. Lord have mercy.

Good job brothers!

Matteo's girl

Matteo is reaching and grabbing for things

King of the castle...

Tummy time friend

Tummy time too

Tummy time!

Matteo 'holding' his paci

More in development...

Louis is trying so hard to roll over.  He has been getting to his side by kicking his feet and pulling his hands together - he tries to keep going, but he's still working at it.  It's very cute to watch.

Development update

Both boys are blowing all sorts of bubbles. Are teeth on the way? In any case, let the drool begin!

Louis is reaching for things!

Ah nap time

FWD:

Morning!
