Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to wish all the Daddies out there a Happy Father's Day. I am lucky enough to have a great Dad myself and also a great father-in-law. Steve is such a terrific Dad especially for someone who is so new to the whole experience. The boys adore him and can't seem to get enough. All three of these special men are and will be great role models for my boys. There will be no excuse for them to not know how to be a good man...

I leave you with a few pictures of Steve and his little men...





Happy Father's Day!!

Golf ...or hockey??

Nicolas and Zachary were given a golf set (shocker, I know!) for their birthday. Zachary has been very interested in it lately much to Steve's delight. Here is a little video of him trying to hit the ball - not the ball that came with the clubs but a softer, bigger ball. The only thing is that it kind of looks like he is playing hockey more so than golf. I guess only time will tell...

A day filled with silliness and laughter...

The boys have just been giddy today. They have been playing very well with each other all day. There have been lots of new games that they have been playing which have resulted in lots of giggles.

Here is one of the silly games they were playing today...

Sleeping Cutie!

Nicolas slept through the night last night but was up a little bit early this morning (around 7:00am). Needless to say, by the time nap time rolled around he was exhausted. This is how I found him less than 5 minutes after I put him down. He slept for a little over 3 hours too...




And this is how I found him towards the end of his nap when Zachary woke up...

Shirtless fun...

Since it was so hot today, the boys played with their water table before their nap and got their shirts all wet. So, they took their nap shirtless. They look like such little men when they are only wearing their shorts. We decided that it was best to keep them shirtless after their nap since it was so hot and humid. They were in heaven (typical men!).

Nicolas is doing this funny thirst quenched sound now when he drinks. I was able to get it on video today. I just think it's so cute!!

Night number two

Well last night was officially night number two of not going in to the boys at all during the night. We had been doing pretty well with their sleeping but I knew it could be so much better. So, I figured I would try just letting them figure it out by themselves (since they are pretty good self soothers).

On Sunday night Zachary only woke up around 4:00 am and he cried off and on for about 30 minutes. Then they both slept until 7:45. I can totally live with that. Last night, neither of them woke up at all. Steve woke me as he was getting ready for work around 6:45 and I realized that I had not heard a peep coming from their room! Now, this does not mean that they didn't make a peep at all, but it wasn't enough that I needed to hold myself back from going in to them!

I am so proud of my little tikes! They are getting so big and they are growing up so fast...

Fun Outside!

Steve built the boys a swing set yesterday... Here are the boys swinging in the driveway before the swing set was moved to the backyard...
