Two Little Monkeys

I've been propping Evie up in the chair lately, and Nate likes to climb up next to her. I think they look so sweet sitting there together. They're even holding hands in this picture!

Happy 2nd Birthday

Monkeys and cheerios.

Those are two of Nate's very favorite things,

so that's what was on his cake.

He needed some help blowing out the candles.

Nate LOVES his motorcycle that Nana and Granddad sent him.

He woke up this morning asking to ride it!

We celebrated Nate's birthday a little early last night. Two years have passed quickly, but it's really crazy how much our lives have changed since the day Nate was born. It seems like it should have been more like 10 or 20 years ago!

Anyway, Nate had a great time playing with his friend Jack and definitely didn't understand that we were gathered to celebrate his birthday. I tried to make a cake that fit him most -a monkey with cheerios. His snack of choice is still cheerios, and not only does he love monkeys (or any animal for that matter) but he acts like one too. Unfortunately we don't have his monkey imitation on video. Happy birthday baby (or not so baby) Nate!

Birthday Video

We didn't take much video of Nate with his birthday cake, but we got this one. He spotted the cheerios immediately and went for them!

Pacifier

Evie doesn't quite have the paci thing down yet.

Yogurt

Every morning Nate eats a big bowl of yogurt mixed with fruit. Here are some pictures from breakfast this morning. We haven't figured out if Nate is left or right handed yet. Sometimes he uses his left hand, sometimes he uses his right, and sometimes he uses both!

2 months old

I've done a really bad job of taking pictures of Evie. She turned 2 months old last Saturday and had her 2 month doctor's visit on Tuesday. She's a very healthy little girl - in the 90th and 95th percentiles for height and weight! She's cooing and smiling a lot these days, although I haven't caught many good pictures of her smiling. I guess there will be plenty more to come!
