A picture and the need to plan...

Here is just a quick picture of the boys standing at the chairs that are blocking their way out of their play area...



I also need to get busy planning their 1st birthday party. It is creeping up on me and it will be here before I know it... just a little over a week!!! I don't know what I have planned exactly so I guess I should start with figuring that out. I also need to go buy them some sort of birthday present... I feel very disorganized!! I plan to have a plan by the end of the weekend.

First Outing in the Wagon

It is such a beautiful day out that we decided to take a walk as a family. What better day than this to take the wagon out for the very first time? So, that's just what we did.

The boys loved it! Once we got moving Zachary started to laugh. Nicolas just loved to look around. He spent most of the time hanging off to the side so he could get a better view. The wagon itself is amazing and so easy to push around. It's going to become our very favorite way to get around this summer...

Here are a few pictures:

Swinging at the park

We went for a walk this afternoon and since I like having a destination, we decided to go to one of the parks near our house to see if the swings are up. As we arrived, I was extremely excited to see that the swings at this park were already up. The ones at the park closest to our house has yet to acknowledge that spring has arrived, so the swings are still not up.

There were two of the baby swings side by side. This would be the boys' first attempt on the swings but I was certain they would love it. Boy was I right! they had a blast!! Zachary spent most of the time laughing while Nicolas kept trying to make himself swing while occasionally taking a break to laugh with his brother. It was adorable and so much fun!!

Here are some pictures I took... yes I brought my camera...

Here is a short video of the fun time they were having...

Night #1!

Both Zachary and Nicolas decided that last night was going to be full night number 1. They slept from 9:00 until 7:30 this morning without their usual midnight bottle! They both stirred a few times (Nicolas' stirring was not even enough to get me out of bed!) but they did not need for me to pick them up and give them their bottle. Zachary woke twice having lost his pacifier and not being able to find it. Once I gave it back to him, he was off to dream land again!

I just hope that this is their new sleeping pattern and not just a fluke. I knew they would give up their night feed when they are ready. Maybe this is an early Mother's Day present from my little men...

Play time in their crib!

Zachary and Nicolas love to play in their cribs after they wake up from their naps. Sometimes just for fun I put them in the same crib to play and cute pictures like this one happens...

Nicolas pulled himself up to a stand yesterday. We were all very proud but not more than he was!!

Peek-a-boo

This is just a cute of video of Zachary playing peek-a-boo...

Finger Foods...

I really want the boys to start eating a lot more finger foods. So I decided to give the Gerber Little Graduates a try. They boys loved them! So far they have tried the ravioli and the macaroni and cheese. They have been quite the hit! Even the veggies! It is so much fun to watch them exploring the foods and getting all messy! Here are some pics taken from ravioli night...
