I can't believe how big he is

Nathan is amazing. Just about every day he does or says something that just makes me realize how big he is. He has these plastic Kinnex toys for smaller kids that he loves to play with. Well for about the last year the only thing ever made with them were "guns". Not really extravagant or imaginative.

Well, just recently he has started using his imagination and making "guys". The first time he came out of his room and showed me his guy and I was totally blown away. I thought they were the most adorable things EVER!! The one guy turned into about 5 different ones before he ran out of pieces.

Nathan starts Kindergarten in August. I can't believe that my baby is going to big boy school finally. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family.

15 Months Already!!

We had our 15 month well-baby visit this morning. Gregory and Timothy are doing fabulous! We will start with the older of the two:

Gregory Vance
Weight: 24 lb 12.5 oz 50%
Height: 31 1/2 inches 70%
Head: 18 1/2 inches 50%

Gregory is outgoing and very amusing. He is also very very emotional. He gives the best hugs and loves to just sit on your lap. He is playful, and is on his way to becoming a great soccer player. He loves to kick his big brothers soccer ball and he really is very good at it. His favorite toys right now any ball, cars, stuffed animals and the baby wipes packaging.

Timothy George
Weight: 22lb 20%
Height: 30 1/2 inches 45%
Head: 18 1/2 inches 50%

Timothy is still my quiet thinker. He plays by himself alot, but he is getting more involved with Gregory. He absolutely adores Nathan. They play together alot! He loves to play chase, I run behind him saying "I'm gonna get you!!" and he runs away laughing the whole time. The other day he and Gregory started playing chase together...it was so fun to watch. Timothy loves anything that makes music. He is starting to dance with his little boom box that he carries around constantly. It is so adorable.

I love my boys and am so happy that I have them. Life is defenitely different now, but I could never go back to the way things were. I am so excited to see how they will grow and change as they get older.

First Hair Cut

My baby, Timothy, had his first haircut on April 11, 2008. He had needed one for a very long time, but I was, of course, putting it off as long as possible. I guess I just didn't want to face the fact that my baby was getting so big. Timothy has always had longer hair than Gregory, but it was getting to the point that he looked like a girl to people who didn't know him, and that was really starting to bother James.

So, Gloria (the wonderful woman who runs the daycare that my kids go to) said that she knew how to cut babies hair and she volunteered to cut Timothy's hair for me. I told her that I would bring in my camera so that I could document the occasion, of course! :) So after work when I arrived, I stripped him down and with Catalina's help, we cut Timothy's hair.

He really did a fabulous job being patient and sitting still while Gloria cut his hair. I was so proud of him. I was in denial about cutting his hair because I don't want them to grow up so fast, but in the end, he looks SOOO Handsome and I am glad we finally did it.

Going to Try!

Well, thank you to my wonderful friend Tara for recommending that I start a blog. I am not quite sure of what to do with it...nor am I sure that I am going to have the time or creative juices to keep it up...but I am GOING TO TRY! :) I have seen that there are websites that you can create a bound book with your blog entries, and since I have NO time for scrapbooking anymore, this would be a good way for me to keep up with my memories.

Wish me luck...I feel vulnerable about putting my thoughts, feelings and creativity out there for everyone to see and judge...

More of me to come...please stay tuned.

First Post!

On the fantastic advice of my best friend, Tara, I have decided to start blogging. Tara, you sure are one smart girl. Thank you for being you!!!!
