Wow!

These guys have been busy! Which means we have been busy and I haven't taken many pictures lately. They are so much fun right now it's crazy! It keeps getting better and better. Let's see...

They are OBSESSED with their colors. Everywhere we are, all the time, they are constantly pointing at things and identifying the colors. It's pretty funny and also pretty impressive. They became interested in all things yellow and so we started talking a lot about yellow and then all of the other colors came pretty quickly. They know red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, pink, black, white and gray. Wow.

Their absolute favorite thing to do is play outside. That usually involves running up and down hills and in circles over and over again. Climbing is a close second and that's been really challenging because it means I have to be watching them like a hawk constantly. They climb on the couches/chairs and try to launch over the backs. We're working really hard on learning that furniture is for sitting, but they are stubborn these days.

They had an awesome visit from Uncle Butch. They loved meeting him and even got a story from him before naptime. I'm sad I didn't get any pictures of the visit. It was a great time and we were so glad to have him in town!

We also had a wonderful visit from Taffy. She had to go home today, but we squeezed in a lot while she was here. Plenty of running around outside (it's finally warming up) and a trip to the Children's Museum. Both boys were super psyched when she got here and Jake was so overwhelmed and excited that he literally danced/marched around for about 20 minutes. I've never seen anything like it.

Here are a few recent pictures. I need to get better about keeping my camera out again...

Miles checking for mail in his new mailbox that Taffy brought the boys. He loves checking for mail and screams "ma-eel ma-eel" over and over. We've been leaving them little notes in there and they love it.

Jake enjoying his Valentine's Day cupcake...Beckett was over and he and Miles were very slow and methodical about eating theirs'. Jake just went for it. This look says "What are you gonna do?"

Puzzle time...
