Birthday Party

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but we have plenty to post today. On Tuesday, it will have been one year since two of the coolest people arrived on this earth. Below is some video from a small birthday party we had yesterday to celebrate.

9 Months Old

Luke and Lane turned 9 months old today. They are really moving and scooting. The video below is of some photos we took outside last week and some video of the kids scooting around and laughing.*

(*Natalie wanted to make sure that I put a disclaimer on this saying that the wooden spoon on the floor in the video was for the kids entertainment purposes only.)

August 2008

August has been a time of more changes... Both Luke and Lane are sitting up, scooting around on their bellies, rocking on their hands and knees and quite captivated with what their voices can do. Laney cut her two bottom center teeth and Luke is still working on his. We have moved into the season when you get nervous when they are quiet for too long, as is illustrated by the photos of Luke matting all the hair on half of Lane's head by chewing on it and the photos of Lane pulling DVD's off of the entertainment center. I know, this is only the beginning...

Summer Trip 2008

Long time no blog. Sorry about that. If it helps, my lawn shows the same neglect.

Luke and Lane have gotten so big. They are having lots of fun and are moving so much they should be crawling soon.

6 Month Update

Here are some pictures of what we've been up to recently. The babies are approaching their 6 month birthdays and getting ready for their 1st road trip to OH!

Solid Food & Fun

We have had a busy few weeks. The kids started a little rice cereal in the evenings and are getting a little more active in their tummy and back times. They are starting to pay attention to each other and get each other smiling.

Yesterday, while Natalie was at a conference, I took my first solo trip to the grocery store with both kids. Lane was in the car seat snapped to the grocery cart and Luke was in the snugli on my chest. It went pretty good. No crying or fussing. All they wanted to do was make eye contact with people and smile.

Good Times with Nonni and Poppi

Nonni, Poppi and Aunt Lauren were here this past week. Nonni and Poppi had to head back home yesterday, but Aunt Lauren will be staying with us for awhile longer. Good times were had by all.
