Play Date!!

Menias and Charlie were born almost exactly two weeks apart. Menias is two weeks older than Charlie. I met Charlie's mom and dad in birthing class, and they ended up living in the same condo complex as us! We have gone through pregnancy together, labor stories, post partum fun :) and now we walk every morning, kids in tow. So, not only did I get Menias as a new family member, but we also have now adopted Aunt Kelly, Uncle Doug, and best friend Charlie :) Here are the boys hanging out on a Saturday night!



Menias is finally aware that there is actually someone else next to him... not quite sure what to think about it! Nice to meetcha Charlie!



The boys, whispering secrets to one another...

Charlie had enough of Menias' attitude and punched him in the mouth! Sure took Menias by surprise! Juuust kidding...

Car seat fun

Thank God, Menias loves his car seat toys! (most of the time anyways) He will look up at his cow and frog and make the silliest cooing sounds, and make googly eyes to the cow. We are pretty sure he is in love :) One game he seems to enjoy is when I bring the frog leg close to his mouth, he will open his mouth so I can insert the leg, he then chomps down and pulls on the leg with his mouth- much like a dog playing tug a war! Haha, it is so funny!! The things our kids do...

"cooooooo!!"





Giving the cow the googly eyes... what a flirt..

And tug-a-war with the frog leg!

I know it kinda looks like he is struggling, but I swear he thinks it's hilarious!

A walk down memory lane...

It's hard to believe that Menias was born less than four months ago. It is crazy to me to look back at pictures, even now, and remember just how small he was when he came into this world. It's crazy to see how much our little boy has grown up in these past three months. Life is incredible, and it's these days of looking back that makes me remember to enjoy every day of him, even if there is non stop screaming, sleepless nights, or exploding diapers. It all goes by so fast... A short look down memory lane...
