Boys will be boys...

Lets start with this handsome guy. He is still a HUGE shoe fanatic. He steals everyones all the time. These are Noah's and he just couldn't resist. I even think he is posing since he is so proud of himself!

Zach and I had some quality time together when Noah was at school. It was freezing outside, but the first beautiful day in a long time.

So what else would you want to do but put rocks down the drain?! He had so much fun with this, it was almost impossible to peel him away. Each time the rock dropped he got really exited.

So exited, that this was his face each and every time...

I think Tony put this on, but he grabbed my shoes first. Again, so proud of himself.

The guys together. Seriously love this! The room has been such a great place for family time. There really wasn't a great place to go before. We usually ended up in Noah's room, but now we can pile in here and do tons of things at once.

Boys will be boys. These two are non-stop wrestling. Unless they are fighting, but its probably 85% play. Noah has been really great with Zach. A bit more sharing,he is learning to close bathroom doors since Zach loves the toilet, and give him other options if he only wants Noah's.

Horsey rides anyone?

And....GO!

We do get the occasional dress up together. Hilarious. Noah thinks all his clothes need to be off to put on the batman outfit. They crack me up. Noah wants all his clothes off all the time and Zach wants all his clothes on all the time.

Here the boys were getting used to the new beds. Running, playing, hiding...it wasn't a good combination for the first night. We have since learned...

The paint is really a nautical blue, here it looks almost ocean blue.

Tickle, tickle...

And we are finally out. The new process is to put Zach down 30 minutes before Noah. It is a guarantee, but it also takes much longer than just putting them down at the same time.

Here is the first night they fell asleep in the same room. We do now have curtains and pictures up. It turned out really fun. And Zach's bedding came in too, so that is all new.

Oh yah...in Zach's effort to be just like Noah, he also now would like to "go potty". Noah always tells us before he goes and that has clued Zach in. I know this is a perfect situation, but honestly the time it takes to do this makes me not want to do it. He wants to sit on a seat and hang out and play. Which is soooo great. I wish Noah had done that...so I will just buck it up in hopes that he will want to be trained before the baby comes.

He kept lifting himself up and looking in...pretty clever if you ask me.

Noah was right beside me when I was taking these, pretending to snap his fingers and call Zach's name. Noah is a quick learner. And he has seen it happen a million times. I couldn't help but laugh though!

Afterwards to encourage Zach we put big boy undies on him. Noah thought this was hilarious.

After nap. I think I was needing to get ready for something and I had a snack upstairs waiting for them, so when they woke up they piled on our bed and watched a "kids show" as Noah would call it. (Note that doggie has a new friend..bustard. I think he is trying to say buster, but it comes out sounding like bastard.) These two keep me laughing.

And last but not least. Here is almost 8 months. She is a wild child and has definite times that she is up and moving and other times when she is asleep. Our 30 week check went great. We are every two weeks now until 35, and then every week till she is here. It is quickly approaching!

Sorry for the long blog, but I had to get us all caught up....ahhhh doesn't that feel good?!
