Roadtrippers

Well, we are back in Marysville and mostly recovered from our roadtrip to OK. We covered 7 states and 2071 miles in under 30 hours- both ways! Incredible, methinks! Aden and Andrew were excellent travellers and they are practicing their driving so they can help drive the next trip.

Aden looks like a real gear-jammer, and Andrew has the 'look Ma, no hands!' thing down already! Thanks to Uncle Randall we didn't have to turn the wheel over to the speedster or the mouth-driver.

Here's the rig we ran non-stop to OK. Runs great! See George if you're in the market (-:

Aden and Andrew really took to Uncle Randall. I don't think they fussed for him once.

Looks like they have the same expression on their faces in this one.

Aden and Tara- what is he thinking?

Grant feeding Andrew. The most sure-fire way to be Andrew's buddy is getting him his grub!

Grandpa is an excellent napping buddy!

We had a really good time and really enjoyed getting to see everyone. I have more pictures to post, yet I still feel like we didn't take nearly enough! More to come later...

A Rosy Picture

I think the boys had their first 'brat' attack today. It all started when I showed them this rose. (Thanks for the flowers, Paul (-:)

They look so sweet with it in the pictures. And it was so cute- they smelled it (sort of), tore off petals and leaves, tried to eat it, and screamed bloody murder when I took it away. And all smiles and sweet when I gave it back. Great. I gave it back. See, I am teaching them to whine and squawk already!

Andrew being his old cute self.

A rare double smile for Aden and Andrew!

Another double smile! I guess that makes this a double double post!

Although he looks like he has black eyes, they are not. He just woke up.

They are such happy little guys. They are now sturdy enough for hanging upside down (Andrew loves it), and getting the fast version of rock-a-bye baby. They can scooch around a little bit and are champion toy-grabbers. They love their soft books and anything they can chew. I swear those teeth are in there. I am sure I see little bits of white in Aden's gums.

I will keep you posted!

No new tricks- just new pics

Best Buddies

OK- Aden is usually not this sober! He just gets so serious when the camera comes out! Andrew looks so jolly and happy he makes him look even more somber!

Finally Aden smiles and it is the one shot Andrew isn't smiling his head off! Come on, Aden!

Maybe Aden is mad because he had to hold the pink bunny and Andrew got the blue bear!

I read somewhere that you should give the baby something to hold while eating, so I gave Aden this spoon. He knew exactly what to do with it, but he kept looking at it as if to say, 'where's the food that is always on Mom's spoon?' The spoon is not keeping his hands out of his mouth and the food. He will be the king of food fights!

I said no new tricks, but Andrew does have a new trick. He likes to pick up his paci and put it in himself. He pulls it out, looks at it and puts it back in. He doesn't usually get it in straight and it looks a lot funnier in person. Looks like some of you just might get to see these two in person soon. Stay tuned!
