A Fun New Table!

Grandma and Grandpa Wolny got the boys a picnic table/ water table for Easter. It's pretty cool. Ben put his big helper skills to use again by helping Grandpa put together the table.

And then it was time to play!

And after he was done playing, he put the top on the table and had a snack (but I forgot to get a picture of that...)

Almost Time For An Upgrade

We finally got around to putting together the crib for Nick. Ben was very much the big helper while Adam put it together. We are going to wait for the ultimate move for a few more days until Ben is fully over his illnesses. But we are going to start with naps together to see how it goes.

Nick did very well taking his first naps in his new big bed

And he loves the mobile - a lot more than Ben ever did!

And a super big thanks to Shari for letting us borrow the crib!

Poor Crayons

Ben has a total obsession lately with breaking all his crayons and pealing off the wrappers. I find it totally disturbing as I require all colored pens, pencils, markers and crayons to be in pristine condition, in their original containers in roy g biv order. But not Ben. No, he's all about the destruction.

Working diligently to remove the wrapper

Brown has met it's match

Nick is with me, saying 'Dude, what are you doing??"

The carnage

Nick: 'Don't worry, mom. I'll take much better care of my crayons someday'

Motrin - The Miracle Drug

So poor Ben has contracted the influenza B. Luckily I got him into the doctor as soon as he started to cough and have a low grade fever so he was put on Tamiflu within 24 hours of his first symptoms. I think the Tamiflu has helped the coughing and probably some of the aches, but Ben is not very good at acting sick. However, his temperature has gotten up to 103.5 a few times when the Motrin has worn off. Motrin is a miracle drug. Here is Ben before the Motrin has kicked in - high fever, on the floor, mopy, just a sad sick little boy. :(

And now after the Motrin has kicked in - 101 fever, and ready for a dance party. Once he has Motrin in his system, nothing will slow him down (except mom who makes him settle down)!

Still Fits - Barely

I wanted to see if Nick could still fit in the sweater outfit I got when he was born and he can just barely fit in it. Someone is about to be bumped up to the 3-6 month clothes.

Fascinating!

The boys and I watched some pirate/Captain Hook cartoon Sunday morning while Adam made breakfast. Nick was cracking me up sitting up on my stomach and Ben was still a little tired so he was slightly comatose

What's so funny?

So Many Different Expressions

Seven weeks old already! And so many facial expressions! It wouldn't be a Thursday without a little photo shoot

A Lovely Day at the Park with Lily

We met Lily and Susan at the Fort Imagination park today for a play date. Ben, as always, was running all over the place but I have a feeling it won't be long before Lily is following right behind him!

Ridin' Big Boy Style

Nick has been riding big boy style in the stroller the last couple of days on our walk. With it being warmer, I wanted to give him a bit more air and room than he has in the car seat. He actually stayed awake for the first half of the walk and was laughing and smiling at me, but he's always out by the time we stop to feed the fish.

I'm Cool Like That

Nick hanging out in the Moby wrap while Ben played outside yesterday. Sunglasses were required because we wouldn't want the bright sun to disturb his beauty sleep.

Those Silly Bears

Ben's favorite show right now is Berenstain Bears. He has started to understand the funny parts of the show and laughs hysterically. It's amazing to me that the show holds his interest so much. It's kind of nice when I'm feeding Nick for him to be so well entertained and stay out of trouble.

This Way and That

Roll'n this way and that. Not quite all the way over yet, but he sure can swing his bum in the air!

Bullseye!

First a little spit-up all over daddy

And then while he's cleaning that up, a nice poop

Well at least mommy found it hilarious!

Sand & Golf, But Not Together

The weather was perfect today, so in the morning we went outside to play. First Ben played a little golf, then he bubble mowed the lawn, then he moved sand around the yard in buckets that kept spilling everywhere then he played soccer, then he chased Monster, then he played golf again, then he played in the sandbox again... You get the idea.
