Look who is crawling!!!

Xavier has been working on the motions for about a month now and he has finally figured it out! He loves the TV remote and so Adam just put it a few feet in front of him and off he went! :)

New House Pictures

Here are some pictures I took on Sunday of the new house. I need to get some taken of the inside, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. You can click on the pictures and it will show them bigger. Here is the view from the front...

...and one from the back. We fenced off a section of the yard for a swing set and play area for the boys until they are big enough to fend themselves against our 2 doggies.

and here are some pictures of the boxwoods and flowers we planted last
weekend and our flag...

Easy Sunday Morning

Hi there everyone! Just thought I would post a few pics of the boys hanging out on Sunday at our new house. The weather was beautiful so we spent most of the day outdoors. Tavian enjoyed the swing set so much, he fell fast asleep! Xavier and I climbed some trees...


and then Tavian and I enjoyed a game of peek a boo :) He loves it when I pop out from behind things at him...makes him jump about a foot, and then he starts cracking up!

Tavian's Pearly Whites


We have teeth! Tavian cut 2 teeth at the same time last night! Adam called me at work this morning to tell me. Tavian had been waking up a ton at night, crying and rubbing his ears so we figured that was what was happening. He had been chewing on everything in sight! Xavier is still toothless but I am sure won't be far behind. Exciting stuff! Now he won't have to gum everything to death! :)

splish splash we were taking a bath!

Oh I am sure the boys will kill me in the future, but I had to do a bath-time blog. Our new house has the perfect sinks for bathing the boys in (at our old house we used an infant tub on the counter and it was a mess!). So here are pics of their first side-by-side bath time.

And Mr. Xavier cheesin for the camera...

And here is one of all my handsome men on our new front porch.

Watch out NBA!

This is Xavier's first time playing with a plastic ball we bought...he loved it! We were surprised to see him be able to roll it and catch it with ease! He got sooo excited...he kept smacking his little hands on his knees and saying, "oo ooh oooh!" Maybe we have a future OSU Cowboy baller on our hands? Lol :)

Standing Tall



Geez, they grow up fast! Xavier is pulling up on furniture and when I set him on his feet next to the coffee table he stood on his own for quite a while! Of course, the second I got the camera, he stopped :) Anyway, we captured a few pictures of it and some video. He was very excited and kept putting his little hands up to the ottoman.

And the boys tasted their first meal of chicken and noodles. They were not impressed at all. Xavier warmed up to it after a few bites, but Tavian was having none of it...guess we will try some beef or ham instead! :)

Bubbas Forever

How sweet is this picture? They are really starting to bond...it is so great.

They like to sit side by side and play with toys...and take them from each other too :)

And apparently I scared Xavier with this photo!

Here is Tavian in his crib with his "I am a little angel" face.

And this last one is of the three best boys in the whole world...wow, I am lucky!
