October Update

It is so much fun to see toys being used for the second time! It is still hard to believe how big Matt is getting. It's a blast to watch the boys play together, we're working every day on sharing and being good brothers. I'm always surprised at how they are teaching each other things!! There are far too many memories that the camera isn't fast enough to catch!
Gotta love that hair!!

Andrew is following in dad's footsteps. He did this all on his own with no encouragement from mom. We were walking through the mall, and he spotted a car and he had to sit down and appreciate it! It was a lovely Bentley convertible.

Nothing beats this! We love the zoo, we are there almost once a week, and this visit can't be beat. Andrew knows all his animals, but Kiki & Frost are his favorites!! This day was awesome, the lions were playing, roaring, and finally as Andy tells us, sleeping!!

The boys are doing so well, we've got our crazy moments, but it really is fun to take in all they do. We have been so lucky to make friends with all the kids on the street and now everyday is playtime in the cul-de-sac, so much fun!!

Andrew is adjusting well to school, we had some hiccups after missing school with vacation and then the stomach flu (no fun!), but I think we've made a big step! We've gotten 2 notes home in the last week telling us that Andrew was very, very happy, and that he's having GREAT days!! It definitely lets us know that he's doing well. He has picked up so many cool things already, it is really great to watch him grow!

Matthew is filling in the role of the baby so well!! Maybe too much at times! We have figured out that Mr. Matty is capable of doing many, many things, but Mommy and Daddy don't make him, so why bother! For instance, holding his own bottle, eating table food, and crawling. All of which he is doing, and has been doing, but only if he really wants to!!

It's really interesting to see how we were so concerned about Andrew completing all these tasks, and with Matthew, we are just letting things happen. It's hard to say if we were overly crazy the first time or a just a bit lazy this time. Either way, we've got two awesome little boys!!!
