Lost Videos
Yesterday I was digging through my iphoto looking for a particular picture and I was all the way back in the middle of 2008 when I found video of the boys. Yep before they were born. The camera had date coded the videos wrong and I had forgotten all about them. They are a few short clips of some wobbly, barely 8 month old boys. I was happy to find them.

16 months
Please don’t tell me it’s been another month already! I can’t believe how fast they are growing up. I couldn’t resist the photo above. Look at those teeny, tiny babies in my lap! They are such big boys now.
Ezra has 6 teeth now and Noah has 4 with numbers 5 and 6 about to poke through. Plus I think they are both working on their one year molars.
We spend our days playing outside, eating, eating, and more eating. They love snacking on fruit, graham crackers, cheerios, and dried fruit. They aren’t always so thrilled with what I cook for dinner, but when its compatible I can add spaghetti sauce and they will eat it.
We officially are done with day-time bottles! They still get a bottle if they wake up in the middle of the night. They slept through the night 3 times last week!
Noah said thank you for a whole week and it was adorable, then he stopped. I am sure it’s still in there, he’s just busy learning something else. We still mostly hear dada, mama, kitty, and hi/hey from both of them.

Playing outside is still our absolute favorite.
Climbing is really starting to pick up.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade
We took the boys to their first parade this morning and they had a ton of fun. They loved the drums, thankfully there were plenty between marching bands and pipe and drum brigades. The dogs were a lot of fun too.

I Voted!
Tonight after dinner we took the boys with us to go vote. They charmed all the poll workers and ran around the church like crazy. (It was pretty empty, sadly another low turnout.) The boys had a great time at their first voting adventure.
We didn’t take a camera with us, so we tried to take a few pictures of their “I voted” stickers when we got home. As you can see they were not so happily cooperating.

Fun with video
The boys love to vacuum. Here’s a little clip of the fun:

Yes that is Noah playing in front of the vacuum and screeching with delight, so hard to believe just a couple of months ago he was terrified of the vacuum.
Daddy wrestles with the boys before bed to get them good and worn out and, of course, they love it.

Rainy Monday Morning
If there is one thing worse than a rainy Sunday, its a rainy Monday. Mondays are the hardest day of the week for me, simply because I am spoiled over the weekend with all the extra help. This morning it was rainy and wet outside, so we stayed inside, because we live in Arizona and we don’t know what do to in the rain and we don’t own any rain gear. The boys decided they would work in the kitchen this morning and this is what it looked like just before nap:
Sorry it’s blurry I didn’t realize Matt had used a setting on the camera that I am clearly not ready to use. I could not walk in the kitchen with out tripping over something, toddlers, toys, pots, bowls, tupperware. The floor is now clear and the sun is starting to break through the clouds, we might just get to play outside this afternoon.

Rainy Sunday
This afternoon was rainy and the boys woke up from nap cranky. We needed something different to entertain them. We decided to set up their giraffe tent. We all had a great time and a lot of laughs. The best part, we ended up with two exhausted, happy boys at bed-time.

First Flag Football Game
Today the boys had their first flag football game. Our church was having a game for moms and sons and Matt was volunteering and well I am a mom with sons, so we went and had fun. We went out for pizza afterward, which the boys loved.

Story Time
I took the boys to their first story time at the library today. It was a wild, fun-filled adventure. Upon arrival Noah began screaming (I guess he assumed I was ditching him there), once he realized I was staying he became wild. He found the door and kept taking off. Then Ezra realized what we were doing (running around) and got in on the act. It was finally time for story time and the door to the room was closed, thank goodness! At this time my lovely children discover there are cabinets in the room, fun. So I blocked them off with the stroller, Noah voiced his opinion on the act, at which point I was informed I was free to come and go as I please. Yea I was embarrassed, but I didn’t think they were being all that bad for 15 month old boys. It was a story time for 0-2 year olds after all, so I thought there would be other children who were a little rambunctious. All the other children seemed to be in the under 1 crowd or the over 2 crowd. Oh well, we still had fun and Ezra loved when they did “if your happy and you know it” between stories. I also know that someday very soon they will sit and listen to stories, for now I am happy to chase after them. 🙂
*During actual story time they continually checked the acoustics of the room by banging on every surface possible.
