Dylan gets his first haircut!

As of late, Dylan's hair has been a little shaggy! It grew so fast and was getting really long over his ears. Today Ryan took Dylan to the barber shop for his first haircut. Dylan did great! What a big boy!

At the barber shop...


Here they go!


They gave him a lolipop..but Dylan is not really sure what to do with it. He tried to lick it with the paper on it, but he's smart enough to know that doesn't taste right!


Look how cute!


Dylan looks much better now...and so old!

Latest news...

Dylan got a tooth today! We knew it was coming, as his gums were so swollen the last couple of days. He also continues to say "Mama" and he is getting really good at clapping his hands.


Andrew got his tooth last week and it continues to come in more and more. He now says "Dada" which is fun to hear.


And Danny...no teeth, no "Mama", no "Dada", but still super-cute!

Time-elapsed photography...

These pictures are so funny! I thought I would try to capture the boys as they try to crawl. Every day before their bottles I put the boys on their tummys and ask them if today is the day they will crawl? Look at what they did in a mere 5 minutes....

They all start off mostly in a straight line (with Dylan a little bit ahead of the others) Notice how they are all facing forward!


They are still pretty much just hanging out at this point.....not moving too much...


Andrew is starting to scoot backwards....


Andrew goes back and back....Danny starts going to the side....


Look where they ended up! So funny! (PS. Dylan didn't move!)

Andrew and his love of.....

There once was a boy named Andrew.
Andrew likes to play with his brother Danny.

Andrew reaches over to......

...grab Danny's ears! Andrew loves EARS! So funny!

We love computer keyboards!

We have discovered that the boys love banging on our computer keyboards when we have them on our laps. So.....we found an old keyboard and let the boys go at it! They had FUN!

These coldies feel GOOD!

It's official...Andrew has a tooth---at least part of it! It's breaking through his little gums and is SOOOO painful. He's been waking up at night and generally has been pretty miserable.
We think Dylan will be the next one to get a tooth...he is showing all the signs.
Our little coldies from the refridge help ease the pain of the teeth.



Victoria visits from California

We were so excited to have Ryan's cousin Victoria visit us for a few hours today after she had a recruiting weekend at Villanova (for water polo). We hope she gets in because we would LOVE to have her so close!! The boys were excited to see her --she helped us so much in the summer-time when the boys were teeny-tiny! She couldn't believe how big they have gotten!

New news about the boys....

Here are some interesting updates about the boys....

1) Danny: Danny threw up today for the first time. I put him down for a nap around 1:30pm and downstairs I heard him crying and crying. I let him go thinking he was just tired and needed to sleep....and finally it was quiet around 1:45pm. I thought he went to sleep...around 2:15pm I heard him crying really hard again so I went up to his room to get him...and found him covered in carrots. It was really scary! The carrots were all over the back of his neck & hair and all over the crib sheet. I felt terrible! Thankfully he seemed fine the rest of the afternoon/early evening. I hope he sleeps well tonight!
Danny still looking cute, despite the carrots not agreeing with him!


2) Dylan: Dylan is now saying "Mama"! It's sooo cute! I don't really think it's directed at me necessarily, but it is really great to hear regardless! I swear I heard him say "Dada" once too, but that was only once. We're working on it. But he definitely says "Mama!" Go Dylan!!!

3) Andrew: Andrew is crawling backwards. It's really funny! I put him on his tummy and he gets up on his knees and I could put even his favorite toy in front of him...but he inches backwards instead! He doesn't do it every time (most of the time I put him on his tummy to crawl he just lays there) but when he does move, it's just a few inches backwards. I think he'll be the first to crawl (foward!)
Andrew, our mover!

Grandpa leaves today

The boys definitely thought Grandpa Jerry's trip was too short, but he made the most of his time and jumped right into the boys' schedule!

We love you! Come back & see us again soon!!!!!
