Crazy Hair!

Caden has decided that he wants to fix his hair in the mornings. This is not really a battle I choose to fight right now, but I may regret it later. He wants his hair spiked, but as you can see he wants the front part combed straight down. I am not really sure where he came up with this one, but whatever. Mornings are too crazy for me to argue with him about this one!

While I was taking the first picture he wanted desperately to make a silly face, so here is his silly face pose!

Crazy boy, he is too funny!

Cole's 1st Cereal

Cole hit a milestone last week and began eating cereal! He seems to really like it. We weren't too sure at first, he had a couple of really rough days and nights on Monday and Tuesday, but I think it was just his shots. He is doing great now! The pictures aren't that great because it was really early, 6AM, and no one was up but Cole and me!

I am ready Mom!

Here goes nothing...

Not sure what I think yet!

Not too bad, but a little messy!

Rock Band Video

Here is a small clip of a couple of band members! Caden got a piano for Christmas and Carter is of course playing his "tar" (guitar). This is a guitar he uses at Grammie's. Now that we are home he has several to choose from! We are always rocking out over here!

Computer Crashed

I logged on today at Cory's office and see so many great posts to read, but it will have to wait. Our computer is on the blitz and I can only do the necessities here at the office. Cory doesn't think it is appropriate to have two little kids here while I check blogs...isn't he funny about that! I am still here as are the kiddos. They are doing crazy things and I have pics to post! I will read up on all of you soon, promise!

Check-Ups

I took the two little ones to the doctor today for their check-ups. I also took Caden, but he didn't' have to be poked and prodded! So here is the run down for the grandparents and anyone else who is interested!

Cole - 4 months
17 lbs 4 oz and 26 1/4 inches
This is 90th percentile for both weight and length.

To give you a comparison, Caden was 17 lbs 8 oz, 27 1/2 inches and Carter was 17 lbs 5 oz, 27 inches at 4 months.

Carter - 2 years
29.2 lbs and 36 3/4 inches
This is around 50th percentile in weight, but close to 97th percentile in his height. His weight has decreased, but mostly because his height has increased so much. She is not worried about this at all. He is definitely taking after his Daddy!

To give you a comparison here, Caden was 28.6 lbs and 35 3/4 inches at 2 years!

Other than that everything is good. Carter definitely has allergies and I was given the correct dosage of Zyrtec for him. Cole has some serious dry skin, eczema issues, but lotion was the only thing recommended! That is about it for us!

Happy New Year everyone!

Christmas Part 2

Here are the pictures from the 2nd part of Christmas. We arrived at my parent's house on Tuesday evening late and will stay until Sunday. The kids are having a ball so far...

Making cookies for Santa. The boys love to bake with Gigi!

Carter got bored pretty quick, but Caden is all business when it comes to cookie baking! Here are the boys leaving their creations for Santa!
Here is the loot Santa left the boys.
The chaos of opening gifts. Caden tore through the stuff so fast, I couldn't see what people got him! Carter had to sit with Daddy and get some help.
Aunt Jana and Great-Aunt Linda helped Cole open his presents.Here is one of Pops favorite gifts! Here is Cory's favorite! My mom got me an OSU apron and oven mitts, and just had to throw this in for Cory...too funny!Santa (aka Daddy) thought Caden and Carter needed swords. Cousin Rob bore the brunt of it!
Cole had enough after about 45 minutes of gifts and nodded off early! After Christmas dinner, Caden had to be entertained. This is what Pops came up with! Usually he drives the boys around and they ride on the wagon. On this occasion, we had an upgrade!

Happy 2nd Birthday Carter!

Happy Birthday Carter! I know we already celebrated with a party, so you think you are two, but today is actually the day! I can't believe you are already two, it has flown by way too fast! You are so grown up, so you think. You are a big boy now, just like Caden! You love to rock out and play just about any instrument imaginable, and you can sing too! You also have a sweet, nuturing side. You enjoy taking care of Cole, or any animal you convince me is your baby! You are also one obsessed artist. You love to draw, color, scribble, etc! I hope in the midst of Christmas you still have a wonderful birthday! Momma and Daddy love you bunches baby boy!
