1 month old

Here's my one-month-old baby! Jude is such a good little guy. He sleeps really well at night, doesn't get too upset when Carter tries to play with him by throwing things at his head, and he's been smiling at us for at least a week now! He is such a blessing and we love him so so much.
Above, Jude is one week old and below, Carter is 1 month old. They're probably about the same size in these pics - Jude might even be bigger:) The older Jude gets, the more similarities I can see between him and Carter.

Dennison's proudest moment

This trick was attempted and accomplished for the first time just prior to the taking of this video. Dennison's favorite part is that Carter grabs the balloon on his way down. My favorite part is that he says, "oh no" right after. It's a good thing we have boys.... (sorry the lighting is so bad, it was a very spur-of-the-moment video shoot)

Jude and his 'rents

I guess he's already sick of me kissing him... check out that face! How rude

some cute pictures and a video

Here's my baby




We have been known to play peek-a-boo but Carter came up with this little game all on his own! It's probably funnier if you were there....

Picture Tag

This is for Lindsay. Here are the rules:Go into your picture files and post the 4th picture from the 4th folder onto your blog. Then tag 4 friends.Ha ha, he was trying to get out of taking a nap.

Suggestions please

So Carter LOVES listening to music. I don't know of many little kid artists (are there even artists for the "little kid" genre?) or songs or anything. So I'm hoping that some or all of you more experienced moms can help me out here. What do your kids listen to and how can I get my hands on it?

My Super Mom

Wednesday was a very sad day... my Mom went back home:( She was here for 10 days helping out with the boys. Carter loved having her here - he was super grumpy all day on Wednesday after she left. She made it feel so easy to have two kids! She played with Carter a lot and held Jude while I took naps. It was so great having her here. If my dad didn't miss her so much we might have just 'forgotten' to take her to the airport! So thanks Mom, for all your help and for being the best mom in the world. I'm so glad I had such a good example growing up of how a mom should be. I love you!

Halloween

Aww... isn't he just so cute?! We didn't do much for Halloween this year for obvious reasons. Some friends came to visit last night and we drank apple cider and ate yummy cookies. It was a nice relaxing Halloween night.
Carter didn't want to sit still for the first matching shirt picture with his baby brother.
Carter absolutely hated wearing his costume until one of his little friends came over dressed as a cat. Once he saw her all dressed up he didn't mind being in his chicken suit as much.

World's cutest chicken
