More January 2013

Cole got a boombox from Grandpa Ken & Grandma Jenni for Christmas. He has loved being able to control what music he plays and being able to have it in his room.

Grandma and Aunt Suzannie personalized this game a while back for Cole to play with. He still loves it!

Connor yelled "Watch Mom!" This is what I turned around to see. Pretty good balance for such a little guy! Of course, Cole wanted to have his picture taken, too.

My sweet boys are ridiculously good looking.

Connor is the clumsiest little boy I have ever seen. He is always getting bloody noses and bumps and bruises all over his head. I think his torso is a little too big for his legs and feet...

Andrea got us an ice cream maker for Christmas. We experimented when Suzanne came over. It was delicious and I love that we have been able to make ice cream healthier!

Cole has had a few play dates with his friend Emma, who is in his preschool class. She is such a sweetheart! They have a lot of fun together. I'm sure he will miss her when she graduates to kindergarten.

They love pulling the cushions off. It keeps them busy for hours on end.

January 2013

Cole and Connor play very well together. Cole has been helping change Connor's diapers, washing his hair in the bath, and getting him dressed. They also feed each other occasionally.

They both love to do tricks on the couch, including belly flops and somersaults. They both say "watch" and wait to make sure you really are watching before they will do anything. Cole loves watching movies, especially when he is sick, but Connor can only handle watching for a few minutes until he takes off to find something more exciting.

While Connor was eating his Cheerios, he unzipped the top of his jammies and put some Cheerios in. Then he'd put his hands up and say "Where'd it go?" I thought I had fished them all out, but when I changed his diaper later I found a handful down by his feet. Connor is an awesome eater! He has eaten his dinner and finished Cole's several times.

These boys love being together. I love making them wear matching jammies. :)

2012 Christmas

We had our Christmas late this year because Chris had to work. While he was at work, we went to Nana & Grandpa Greg's and Grandma & Grandpa Alan's. Cole and Connor were so excited to wake up to a trampoline when we finally had our Christmas at home. Cole tore through all his presents but we had to keep reminding Connor to keep opening them. Cole's favorite presents were a stethoscope and the game 'Bingory' from Cyrie. Connor and I both got new vacuums. After presents, we had a big breakfast and headed to Grandpa Ken and Grandma Jenni's for a family dinner.

Cole's favorite parts about Christmas were the stockings and the Christmas tree. Connor was pretty good about leaving the presents along until the last week when he started packing the small ones around the house. Cole wrote all the names on the presents for me and was the "tape man" when we were wrapping them. We generally did the wrapping when Connor was sleeping.

I was hoping to leave cookies and milk for Santa and open new pajamas on Christmas Eve but the boys both fell asleep. I had to settle with opening their pajamas for them and changing them while they were still sleeping. Hopefully next year!
