Look Who's Talking

(Make sure your volume is turned all the way up before you play these 2 videos)

Na na na na, na na na na. Hey hey hey, goodnight!

Both boys were totally exhausted in these videos, but Mommy was a little busy in the moment to put them to bed, so Daddy stepped up to stop them from crying.  I was in the boys' room and heard both Gabe and Liam laughing so hard... by the time I thought about grabbing the camera, Gabe had already had enough. 

America's Next Top Models?

As you can see, this model, Gabriel, is wearing an outfit to accent both the green wall behind the new couch as well as the green and yellow-green tints in the new and freshly-washed, older pillows. 

He has wisely chosen to take a more "lounging" position on the couch to try to express the shear comfort this new piece of furniture will provide its new owners.   

This model, William, is wearing this stunning bear ensemble in which dark brown of the new chair is subtly accented by the bears' eyes and noses.  

He decided to pose with a hearty laugh on his face to show how much fun this new chair can be.

We are so cute!

Liam's eyes look so blue in this picture.

Gabe (in the bear print pajamas) was giggling so hard in these pictures :)  

Brother time

Gabe: "Hey Liam, how are you today?"

Liam: "I'm wonderful Gabe.  How about you?"

Blowing Bubbles

Happy Halloween!!!

We brought the boys to the door every time a trick-or-treater came knocking... unfortunately we only got 3 kids to come to our door.  Yesterday Joe ending up bringing the chocolate into his class to ease the blows when getting last week's exams back. 

Here's Liam being a French pumpkin.  

Here's Gabey baby.

It turns out that it is very difficult to take posed pictures with one baby, let alone two.  We have about 20+ different versions of this picture and in none of them are both boys looking good at the same time. 

strengthening those legs

Here's Liam in the bouncer, but as you can see...

... his feet barely touched the ground at the lowest level.

And here's Gabe's try...

... and he's not tall enough yet either.

So the next day Mommy fixed the problem of the boys being too short by making the floor grow taller :) 

Tummy time... & then recovery time :)

Here's Liam.  He's much better at it (it = attempting to roll over).  He doesn't get frustrated as quickly as Gabe does, so he gets more practice time in.  You can see how he's starting to tuck his arm and lift his legs really high.  

Once they start to really fuss during tummy time, I flip them over for recovery time.  You'll see in this video how they're now following you with their eyes/head when you move.

Here's Gabey Baby's tummy time: 

Here he is during recovery :)  He's so cute!  The cheesy music you here in the background is not something I chose out of our vast music collection to listen to.  This video was taken the day of that huge storm that ripped across the US.  The music is coming from the Weather Channel, which I had on all day due to tornado concerns.
