What the kids have been up to!

Here are some of the things that the kids have been up to lately. The boys are close to crawling, Mason is "kind of" crawling, pushing with his toes and inching forward. Olivier has been trying so hard for so long and keeps going backwards and around in circles but still is working on going forward. Anna is thrilled that the boys are talking but she won't tell us what they are saying!

Mason having fun splashing in the bath. Notice he looks back and starts to smile before smiling again.



Anna trying to play Pat A Cake with Mason. He was more interested in talking though. Very different that how Olivier talks.


We gave the boys bath's in the big tub for the first time this week, they both loved being able to lay down and kick there legs to splash even more. Thankfully it is easier to handle in the tub and not having to dry the majority of the kitchen.

Olivier went first:

Mason went second:

Two and a Half!

Anna is 2 and a half today! It is amazing to think about and we continue to be amazed by all that she has become! She loves her new princess crown and earrings (yes her ears are pierced but don't worry, they are clip ons). She has a creative imagination and one of her favorite things to do continues to be reading books. Anna is talker and is excited about our upcoming trip to San Diego. She has been pretending she is a cat lately, or she will tell us her name is Frank. If she is focused she can spell her own name and can recognize some letters.


Happy 2 and a half Anna!

8 months old! Wow!

Today Olivier and Mason are eight months old! They love their solids and have started rolling around to get to something they want. They are quick at grabbing something they want! Olivier still has no teeth, Mason still only has two. They are talking more and have their own type of babble. Mason is usually much louder! They love playing patty cake and jumping in the doorway jumper. It is amazing watching them grow!

Olivier and Mason:


Olivier and his stare!
Mason showing off his two teeth!
Of course Anna wanted part of the action! She will be two and a half at the end of the month! Wow! Where does time go?

Here is Anna showing off her new discovery. She's realized that she can do a taco tongue! I don't remember how old I was when I figured that out but I know it was a lot older than two and a half!

Here are the boys on the 4th! Mason is all smiles, Olivier isn't quite so sure!

Look at those big boys!

Happy Olivier - such a silly boy!


Mason talks, and talks, and talks... (Anna tackled Matt about half way through, so no, we didn't have an earthquake!)


Mason giggles - such a great sound!


Mason eats bread (and yes, he will eat it and take more if you give it to him but he will always react this way!).


Anna dancing to a musical Father's day card that Matt got. It was so cute to see.
