February - 1st Half

It's been super busy first half of February.  Mom got a promotion at work which means going back full-time so we spend the months piecing childcare together and working lots of nights/weekends.  Thankfully we have some understanding bosses/co-workers and family to pitch in when we need it!  It's been a bit stressful but we're hopeful to have things back to normal soon.

And everyone has been healthy and feeling good, so we're thankful for that!  Mom's kidney stones and the boys' minor tummy bug seem to all be behind us.

Parker (15 months)
Little Parker is growing up.  His personality is coming out and he knows what he wants.  He is very opinionated and he works that pointer finger.  His latest obsessions include feeding himself, no matter how messy.
And he loves Rocking Chairs...
Even if he isn't using them to rock in.
Here are a few other pictures from the past few weeks...

Rocking out with Elmo!
Happy Baby Toddler!

Carter (2 years, 3 months)
Carter has grown up a lot over the past few months.  He can keep up a conversation with anyone, remembers everything and talks non-stop.  He is a ball on energy, except for the initial 10 minutes in front of the TV.  He has an incredible imagination and loves to play pretend and come up with elaborate stories.

Here are a few pictures from the past week.
With his birthday gifts for Mimi - he choose a Thomas balloon, strawberry cup cake and orange/white flowers. 
Wearing his cooking gloves
Sitting criss-cross applesauce and telling mom a story.  This hand gesture typically goes along with  his saying "It happens".

Brothers
As the boys get bigger, they seem to interact more and more.  You can let them go for a while and they will occupy each other.  There is always a lot of laughter during that time and a few tears ;)

Here they are "wrestling" in a box (Carter's description).
Turning the box into a car
Carter said Parker needed a hug.  The random hugs and kisses he give Parker are amazing! 
Watching (and pointing) at the train.
