Kazoo

Connor loves playing musical instruments. One of his favorite games to play is marching band. We usually give Jack an instrument to hold while we play and tonight for the first time he added some of his own music. He figured out how to play the kazoo! Connor loved to hear Jack playing it, encouraging him with "Great Job Jack". Here is a video of some of the fun -

P.S. Please excuse all of the laundry on our couch. We are very busy packing up for our trip to Florida for Thanksgiving. We leave early Tuesday morning and we will be there for a week. I will post lots of fun pictures when we get back!

9 months and 2 and a half

This week Jack celebrated his 9 month birthday and Connor turned 2 and a half! Both boys are growing by leaps and bounds and I am constantly amazed at how big they are getting. I thought I would share some of their recent milestones. Jack loves to eat and only wants to eat the food we do, no more baby food. He shows no interest in crawling, he cries every time we put him on all fours and then immediately flips over to his back. He really likes to stand up and walk around our house holding onto our hands. Jack has also started to babble alot and his first word is Mama!!!! He is finally sleeping through the night without waking up (most nights). He loves everyone, especially his big brother. Connor is the ringleader of all things in our house. He is always busy, never wanting to relax. His favorite activities are riding his tricycle and scooter outside. He also loves to play trains, legos and anything involving a ball. We have recently started our potty training adventure and Connor is doing very well. He loves his family and friends and always wants everyone to do everything "together"! I love my little boys and am so excited to watch them grow and do more things :)

Halloween 2010

This past weekend was full of Halloween fun with our friends and family. On Friday, we went to Bass Pro Shops for their Great Pumpkin Halloween event with the Farias family. The store had some indoor trick-or-treating and some photo-ops. It was a fun event and we finished our evening with dinner at Five Guys and a walk around Patriot Place.

Sunday was full of trick-or-treating fun. We spent the morning visiting my grandparents and then we had a dinner party with the Johnson family, Grandma, Grandpa and Pepe. Then we took the kids around our neighborhood, which I must say is a great place to trick-or-treat. It was so fun to watch Connor this year because he loved ringing everyone's doorbell and getting candy. What a difference a year makes! Jack was super cute for his first Halloween, wearing his costume like a champ and visiting almost as many houses as his older brother.
