Tummy Time

This little mister loves his tummy time.

Especially with big brother close by.
Caleb loves when Lucas does tummy time too, because then he can play with Lucas' toys
Tickling toes. Someone's favorite activity around here. Lucas is a good sport about it.

Happy Monday

Both boys are napping-at the same time. Which means...mama got in a nap, cleaning, and a few blog posts :) A good start to the week!

A photo shoot captured on camera

for all those wondering what exactly happens when we have our little 'photo shoot' ....here's a little glimpse.

I think I've already mentioned how much Caleb loves sitting on the couch next to Lucas and taking pictures. He climbs up and makes sure I have the camera ready. And then he says 'cheese' but he hasn't quite figured out the smile with the cheese part yet. It is a work in progress for now....

Lucas' hands

finding those fingers, captured on video.





(FYI, those quarters are now back in their special spot away from brother. Looks like we need to baby proof again (for Lucas) .....
It seems that Caleb is really into manipulating small objects. For example, he takes off the nobs from the patio furniture or from his bedroom furniture, he loves the little magnet set in our room, and fiddles around with the gadgets on his toy lawn mower. Twisting things such as tops of containers, water bottles, etc are especially fascinating. And his favorite...buckles. Buckles on his high-chair he can close and a buckle in one of his books he can close. So if anyone has any 'toy' ideas that help him use those fine motors with house hold objects...send them my way!

My happy little guy

Oh Lucas. You are our sweet little baby. You instantly calm us down the moment we hold you in our arms. You are just such a happy little fellow. So we put on your happy shirt today, thank you Uncle Craig and Aunt Mary! Your special Godparents got you this outfit. And we took a few pictures.
What better way to beat the Monday blues than by wearing a happy t-shit. So we are having a relaxing and happy Monday :)
Lucas, You have made your first self discovery. Your hands. This makes mama so happy because it is so sweet to watch as your sit or lay just sucking on your entire fist and trying to get those fingers in your mouth. You work so hard at it. You are very persistent and lay there so content as you work on getting those little fingers in your mouth.
Big brother loves lying down beside you when you are on the floor for tummy time, or getting your diaper changed, or just for playtime. He loves you so much Lucas! I hope you two will always know how special it is that you are brothers. God hand picked you two and placed you both in our lives and we couldn't be happier with our two sweet boys.
You are smiling and coo-ing so much Lucas. We love the way it lights up your face and out comes your one dimple on your left cheek!
You bring us so much joy and happiness little man.
You are now officially sleeping in your crib all through the night (you still wake up to nurse a couple times a night) and for naps. You seem content wherever your sleep, but I miss hearing your little sleep sounds in the night. Your hums and sighs, and your purrs. They are so sweet sounding that we haven't put away the co-sleeper yet. I think I might keep it next to our bed a little longer in case we change our minds!
We love you so much Lucas Gregory!

A fun weekend ;)

We had such a fun weekend with you Jenny! Sad that it is over already :( But happy memories.
A little friday night grey's anatomy watching with popcorn and ice cream
A saturday morning pumpkin patch outing
An afternoon in Monterey soaking up the sun at the park and a nice walk along the warf.
Dessert (at Ghirardelli's need I say more?)and then dinner. Pizza My Heart delish. A car ride home with sleeping babes.
A sunday afternoon nap for all.
Big hugs and kisses good bye.
We love you Jenny! 'Yay Yay'

Just a little moment in our lives

When we got back from our MOMS Club mtg today it was almost lunch time/laundry needed to be folded/lucas needed to be nursed/two poop diapers to be changed/stuff from car to be brought in/a phone call with my sister....so as I sat talking on the phone while I nursed Lucas I realized it was strangely quiet (and Caleb was nowhere in sight)....I walked to our bedroom and this is what I found...a little toddler hiding in the closet playing with Daddy's magnet set.

if you look closely you can see a little mr. in the closet
love those chunky thighs!

found you caleb!
