I (heart) Tubby Time!

Bathtime, or tubby time, as it's called in these parts, has quickly become my favorite way to pass the time with the boys. There is really nothing bad about tubby time-the boys like it, it keeps them awake (which later makes them sleep well), they are very interactive during and after, and they no longer smell like formula spit-up. All good things.

This picture in particular is one of my favorites. If you've ever watched a National Geographic show about whales (stay with me here), you've probably seen some spectacular pictures and footage of the whales breeching (jumping out of the water). What you didn't see was the cameraman sitting in the boat for hours waiting for that one particular shot. Likewise, I have spent several hours training the camera on the boys waiting to capture cute moments. My patience paid off, and and I got the baby equivalent of a breeching whale-Grady's first smile! Other parents, hide your envy, my babies are ridiculously cute.

Cole had given me his first smile a few days ago, and chose to entertain me with a different expression. We like to call this face Crazy Bigeyes Cole.

A new playmate!

Good news everyone! Cousin Evan decided he had enough growing time in Aunt Angela's womb, and decided to brave the outside world. He arrived Thursday, March 27 at 1:54AM, and clocked in at 7lbs, 9oz. Congratulations to Ken and Angela! We can't wait to meet Evan William.

Here's what you've waiting for...

And here is a little video of the guy...

Happy Easter

'Cause Keith Said So

Last night after Keith and I got the boys settled in bed and we headed to the couch to watch a little tellie, he turned to me and said "you've got to update the blog". Well, yeeeeees sirree, I'll be happy to, but I have to warn you, I'm not very clever on command. So I'll just share some pictures.

Raise your hand if you're a studmuffin! Good job, Grady.

Cole, pretending to be asleep, but ready to holler as soon as he is not being held.

They did this one their own, how cute. And yes, Grady really is that much taller than Cole.

The Ladies and The Babies

Here are our two lucky boys with their bio and surrogate mommas. What a good looking pair!


Oh, and the babies. They're cute too. Are those not the cutest little outfits?

Enjoy a few more pictures from Aunt Karen's visit.
