Along for the Ride

Although this video was taken 2 months ago, it perfectly shows how much Will and Henry love their big brother and he definitely returns the feeling.

What's For Dinner??

Can you guess??
Spaghetti of course! To stay in character, Will smashed it all over his face and got approximately 10% of it in his mouth while Henry meticulously picked up one noodle at a time.

Best Friends

The twins seriously love to play with each other. How lucky are they that they have a permanent playmate??

Its Astrophysics in Our Book!

It is so amazing to see Jack learn and grow every day. He went from being able to write his name a few weeks ago to now spelling words such as giant and jaguar and writing every letter of the alphabet. He is thirsty for knowledge, always asking questions, and wanting to know more and more. It is truly incredible to watch him sitting by himself, working on his spelling and sounding out words. With 2 self-proclaimed dorks as parents, the kid is pretty much doomed ;)

Today we played with sidewalk chalk in the garage and he insisted on writing out the alphabet. He ran out of space so he put letters wherever he could. (Daddy thinks this picture looks like a crime scene and should have yellow tape at the top.)

What? Where Do You Eat Your Snack?

The Big 0-1

Better late than never...

Will and Henry celebrated their first birthday surrounded by friends and family. What lucky boys!

The Whitley twins helped our twins celebrate and Will and Henry could not get enough of them. Apparently they love babies!
The obligatory cake :)
Could there be anything cuter than 2 babies celebrating their first birthday! They were so excited about the hats and singing!
Especially Henry.
Will was more excited about the cake!
This picture sums up their different personalities so well. Will devoured his cake and smashed it everywhere. Henry, on the other hand, touched it with one finger :)
It was definitely a celebration worthy of these 2 angels.

Up Next, Mount Everest

The babies can climb! Jack NEVER climbed like this. Sure he would try to get onto the couch or coffee table, but Will and Henry have taken it to a whole new level. Just a few examples:

--within 10 seconds of turning my back, Henry scaled the bar stool and was standing backwards on the seat and jumping up and down

--Will used the bottom 2 drawers in the kitchen to climb halfway into the 3rd drawer in an attempt to get onto the kitchen counter

--Henry climbs on the outside of the staircase and usually gets 3 to 4 stairs up before anyone notices

--they work together all day long to move toys around so that they have leverage to climb onto the couch, coffee table, toy chest, or end table. They honestly try to help each other climb higher and higher

The worst part about all of this is that there are 2 of them and it is impossible to be in 2 places at once. One of them inevitably succeeds in his accent while we are catching the other!
