An attempt at a photoshoot........

I was taking the boys out for a walk on a cool fall Calgary evening. They needed a sweater to wear so I grabbed the sweaters that Nanny (Dave's mom) just finished knitting for them. We then thought we better take a picture to show Brenda. Trying to get two babies to sit up straight side-by-side, and smile is a rather impossible task...

Lining them up.....

Really don't want to do this Mom....



I'm leaving....



This isn't the kind of picture I was hoping to show Nanny

Line them back up

Both smiling....what a miracle!

Playtime

A couple of videos of the boys hanging out around the house this past week.....you can see our house isn't very quiet these days! The first video is of Nate flirting with his girlfriend 'Sophie the giraffe'. The second is of the boys during their 'jumping time'. Enjoy!

My GQ Boys

Our afternoon playtime session started with both boys fully clothed and ended with both of them just wearing diapers - I'll spare you all the details. Needless to say, Will and Nate had a lot more fun once they ditched the clothes....

Big Boy Highchairs......

The boys are now big enough to enjoy hanging out in their highchairs. Of course, the highchairs make for good mealtimes but they also make for a good 'play space' for a few minutes when Dave or I need to get some stuff done in the kitchen (ie making the gourmet dinner of peanut butter sandwiches we've become so familiar with since March :) )

Reading their books

This look is passed down by their Dad.....'I'm ready for my beer' look

Double Trouble!!

Laundry!!!

I was trying to get some laundry done (a critical function in our house). Nate was fussing and didn't want to sit anywhere. So, I decided to plop him in the laundry basket where he was quite content to 'help' which really meant pulling everything out of the basket.

A little bit of history

I guess that 6.5 months doesn't really define history but it has been a very 'historic' 6.5 months in our house. It's hard to believe that only a year ago we had just found out that 'twins' were en route. Little did we know what we were in for.

Here's a trip down memory lane....

One month before the little monkeys arrived - Ms. B was comfy, I was not

Nate's 'look at my teeth' grin (he's very proud!)

If you don't feed me.....

Little Natey Nate has a new trick that Dad managed to catch on camera yesterday - taking his sock off (which he's very proud of) and eating it. I think he's taken this solid food thing a little bit too far!
