All smiles

So I just can't say enough how much I love this little man. He started really smiling a few weeks ago and hasn't stopped since. He is just the happiest little baby ever, he sleeps great, and is perfectly content with just chilling wherever he happens to be. I don't know what I did to deserve such a wonderful baby boy, but I'm soo grateful to have him!

Austin's Bear





Every time I change Austin's diaper he always turns to this little bear that is on his wall and starts cooing at it. He just smiles and talks to this little bear, I think it is so cute. It was so easy to capture because he really does it almost every time, and we spend a lot of time on that little table because the little guy poo's about 10-15 times a day I think! Thank goodness he's the only one in diapers now.


Easter

Dyeing Easter eggs is of course the best part of easter. I got this little trick from the family fun magazine. You can put your eggs inside whisks and it secures them so that your two year old can dye eggs and dip them in different colors without cracking the egg. It worked wonderfully and didn't effect the dying process a bit.
We have a little community egg hunt every year at a big park. It always rains on Easter (or lets face it,, all of April - jan. feb. and march for that matter too.) So this year we were prepared sporting our rain coats and rain boots for the hunt. I don't think it actually rained on us while we were out there though. Just before and after. Here the boys are, enjoying the fruits of their labor. Brandon never waits to dig in when candy is involved!

Mr. Independent

So lately, (since having baby number three) I have been encouraging Carter to become more independent and do more things on his own. So the other day when he wanted to help make his own peanut butter and honey sandwich, I gladly showed him how. A few days later while I was busy nursing Austin, Carter announced that he was hungry and wanted to make his own sandwich so I let him go for it. What I didn't count on was my two year old deciding that he too, could go ahead and make his own! Thats what I get for encouraging independence I guess. He didn't really do all that bad. Luckily I was able to intervene before he got to the honey part.
