Which is Which?

Can you tell these two apart? I put them in black and white to take away the advantage of looking at eye color and background color.

Slip and Slide

Thomas bought a Spiderman slip and slide with his own money at HEB last weekend. This afternoon we tried it out. He had a hard time figuring out how to run, flop on his belly, and slide. I tried to describe it to him, but you'll see that he preferred to do a small slide on his belly, then flip over and crab crawl on his back down the slide.

(after the video was taken, he begged me to slide and (stupid me) I did. My left boob will never be the same. They should put this on the box: WARNING - Slip and Slides not meant for people with breasts.)

He had no nap today and ran around a lot during the slip and slide episode. Watch what happened at dinner:

After the video, he got his strawberry popsicle and the sugar rush he needed to last him through bedtime.

Timothy

Just in case you were wondering, Timothy does stuff too. Here he is on his tummy lifting his head up and turning it to the other side. If you listen carefully, you'll also hear him toot a couple of times in the video. :)

Rare...

I had to take a picture because this is the first time that BOTH boys have been asleep at the same time during the day. I know it's rare, but I'm hoping this happens more often this summer.

There's a new superhero in town...

Iron Man!

New Family Members

Brian and I took Thomas to Petsmart yesterday for some pet fish. So now we have 4 new family members. Two of the fish are black and white tiger striped fish and they are both named Thomas. We also have an albino (orange) tiger fish and a sucker fish and they are both named Mimi. So for 4 new fish, we only have 2 names to learn. I wonder who picked those names out? :)

Like Father, Like Son

Thomas put on his Handy Manny tool belt, got out his tools, and went to work on some spare computers Brian had laying around.

It was all fun and cute until he decided to clean the computers by spraying them with water from a squirt bottle. :(

1 Month!

Timothy is 1 month old today. That month flew by! I tried to get his weight today and it's either 9 or 10 pounds or somewhere in between. (our scale is funny like that) He's eating between 2-4 oz every 2-3 hours these days, and he's started staying awake more after feedings. Here are the pictures from his 1 month photo shoot today:

Easter

The day before Easter Thomas and I dyed eggs. He was concerned that "dying" eggs would make them dead, so we had to call it coloring eggs instead. We colored one for Timothy too. You can see by the picture that he was totally excited about it.

On Easter Thomas hunted eggs at our house and opened his Easter basket. We showed Timothy everything in his Easter basket as well, and, you guessed it, he was totally excited again.
At MawMaw and PawPaw's house later on, Thomas got to hunt eggs again. Someone (a mean Boonpa to be exact) kept telling Thomas that he saw a spider on an egg that was hidden, and look how the egg hunt turned out:

He seriously asked if there was a spider on every single egg. Hopefully he'll forget about the spider comment before next year. :)

Planting

Today Thomas and I planted 3 tomato plants, 3 rosemary plants, and I re-potted some other plant that Mom gave me that I will probably kill sooner rather than later. (not purposely, of course)

Thomas was a big help, but did not enjoy getting dirt on his hands when he scooped it out of the bag.

Timothy snoozed in his bouncer while we worked. (he stayed inside, but I pulled his bouncer up to the glass door so he could watch us)

All done! Now we just have to wait for our tomatoes to grow.

Ladies: eat your hearts out!
