Vacation!

We were off over Labor Day and went to Cape Cod for the week. The boys were so excited to make the trip! (L -Braden R- Jack)


When we got there, Grammy had a special treat for the boys - teething cookies! They thought the cookies were so good! (Top - Braden Bottom - Jack)



I thought they were messy!


We did tubbies in the pool in the front yard!



The boys thought Grammy's laundry baskets were the BEST!



We went for a walk on the board walk in Sandwich. It was a little chilly, but a lot of fun!



I got to enjoy a nice "girls" lunch at Tina's with my mom and Kate while the boys took a nap!


Thanks for making the trip Auntie Kate (and Uncle Doug!) It was great to see you guys!


When we were at the Cape for Fourth of July Braden learned to crawl and we joked that when were down for Labor Day he would learn to walk - HE DID! He took a couple steps toward me! I can't believe how close we are to having two little boys running around. In the meantime, it's time to go shoe shopping! i can't have these boys walking with no shoes on their feet.

I forgot!

I forgot to add these two pictures to my last post and they are too cute not to share. Jack loves to zerbert. I caught him in action.

Happy Days!

I can't believe it has been two weeks since the last update! They boys are doing great! Jack is getting another tooth, his fourth on the bottom - that makes EIGHT! Both boys are now standing on anything and everything. Braden can move from object to object. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before he is off and running - literally.

As you can see, feeding both boys at the same time has gotten a LOT easier.


Braden can even take a sip in between bites of pancake!


Yesterday we had some great playtime while Dad took a nap.






Braden even read a book to his big brother.


All that playing and the boys were hungry!


They love to play together!


Also, I changed some things around on the blog. If anyone is having trouble viewing pictures or something looks funny, leave me a comment!

The Ohio Andersens

Pete, Charlotte, Austin and Connor came to visit! We had a great week with them and we were sad to see them head out early this morning. We couldn't all get together and not take pictures!

Enjoy every minute, it goes by so fast...

That was by far the most common piece of advice we got when we had the babies. I think I can honestly say that we have - Well, almost every minute. These days, there is so much to enjoy. In the last week Braden has pulled himself up to stand on anything and everything, Jack is crawling all over the place, they both have tried thicker baby food and yogurt and tonight they took tubbies in the BIG tub! They are so happy an we are so proud. I am not convinced anyone actually reads the text I write, so I will get right to it.



Yum!


Braden is so proud of himself


Braden picking out his own toy!


Jack's favorite new pose


All these new tricks make us sleepy


Here is a video of the boys taking their first tubbie in the big tub. Jack is on the left and Braden on the right.

We went swimming!!

Sharon was nice enough to let us invade her beautiful oasis, otherwise known as her backyard! They boys went swimming for the first time - So much fun!





Here is a cute picture I took of Jack and Braden showing off his new trick! He can hold his bottle for about the first half of his feeding. He doesn't quite get that you have to lift it up the more you drink.
Grammy and Grandpa are coming today for a visit - the boys are so excited they won't even take a morning nap!

Rice Puffs!

Here is a video of the boys trying rice puffs for the first time.
A few disclaimers:
- It is really hard to feed puffs to your kids and video, so sorry if anyone gets a little motion sick.
- I lied to my children in this video when I said "they're good", there are so far from good.
- I probably got a little more excited than necessary when Jack ate his first puff.



I also took two videos of each of the boys taking a bath!
