A new toy!

Ok. With a gift from Nana and Poppa I have finally started videoing the kids. Here is my first attempt at posting with many more to follow soon! I hope! All has been crazy at our house with an explosion in the oven last week and a power outage the next day. All I have to say is Thank God for wine! The kids are wild as ever and both are growing and learning new things every day. A big congrats to Karla and Mike on their new little wild one- Just wait guys- it gets even more fun!

More Cuteness

I am not diggin in the garbage. I swear.

Three little monkeys.

Mavi started to show me his muscles but ended up laughing at Keenie Bean instead.

Oreo's are yummy.

I can climb on the fireplace.

Thank you Aunt Marni. Keenan loves to watch this little Elmo do the Hokey Pokey and spin around.

Wooden spoons are yummy...

So are plastic spoons...

So the kiddos have been good these last few weeks. Keenan is constantly in the dog bowls. I swear to God he's in there more than the dog! He is crawling up the stairs now, so I've reintroduced the baby gates. Ahhh how Mavi loves having a baby around. :) He is so pissed that he has to share his toys and isn't able to freely roam the house right now. I am constantly hearing "no, no baby- that's mine!" Mavi's intestinal situation has gotten much better since eliminating milk and milk products from his diet. Thank god. Sash went to the vet earlier this week and is 8 pounds overweight- she now weighs 59 pounds. Poor girl, don't we all have to go on a diet? UGH! Anyway, all is good and Eric starts his new job next week. YAY!

New cute pics- a quickie

Is he not the most adorable baby in the whole wide world?

Mavi has a way of looking like the biggest goofball whenever I bring the camera out!

Did Mom get out all of the shampoo?

I love the big boy tub!!!

Mavi goofin' around with good girl.

I think it's a rite of passage in our house to get a photo taken while french kissing the dog.

Keenie loves Sasha!

Dr. Lisa suggested we just put Keenan's food on the table and let him use his fingers to scoop it up since he HATES when we feed him. We did that once. Thanks for the great advice. :)

Ok, so I have a ton of new pics but only have time to put a few on right now. These are the kiddos lovin' up on Sasha, our good girl, and babies in the tub. Keenan has since given up his little tub seat and crawls and splashes all over the big tub. He had his 6 month checkup and is 17.4 pounds and is 26 and a half inches long. Only 5 pounds to go til he and Mavi weigh the same- I think it'll happen before the 1st b-day.

Ok so maybe once a week isn't so realistic....

Keenan and Mavi are wearing their cool new Hawkeye shirts. Mavi's is, of course, soaked as he is learning how to drink from a big kid cup at mealtime. Thanks Uncle Keith and Aunt Darcy- they look too cute!

Keenie is practicing sitting up and as long as no one looks at him, talks to him, or puts a toy near him he can stay upright! :) Yay Keenan!

This is Mavi's new "I am NOT doing what you want me to do!" face. Pretty soon he'll have the "Aw, man. I'm in time out again???" face.

Although Keenan is not a big fan of sitting in his swing, he loves to chew on it and push it around.

Watermelon is goooooooood!

Here's Eric, Keenan, and our cousin Caleb all wearing their Nuggets jerseys. Can you believe this was completely unplanned? No kidding.

Keenie and Caleb cuddling.

Here's a hat we got from Aunt Marni- isn't he a cutie?

As some of you know, we get a ton of hand me down toys and clothes. Well, here's the latest. A Hummer that actually goes and has a radio. Although Mavi's feet can't push the pedals yet, he loves taking rides with Ty and Caleb.

Keenan loves chillin' in the swing, sucking on the straps.

Stuff has been pretty mellow around here. Haven't been to the pool lately since our doc thinks Mavi picked up his virus there, but he did get to try slip n slide last weekend. Keenan got to try it also courtesy of Aunt Missy. They both loved it, but I don't think we're quite ready to put one of those in the backyard. Mavi is growing and learning new words every day- the latest is Baby Bumbo. Keenan is heavier by the second and loves to crawl around. Maveric is just starting to figure out that Keenan thinks big boy toys are much cooler than baby toys and Mavi isn't sure that this is ok with him. Learning to share may take some time. Take care!
