18 Months

I can't believe I almost have 2, 2yr olds. Some days seem very long but the weeks/months are flying by!
Colin...you are turning into such a little boy, I'm not sure where or when I somehow lost my baby boy, well you'll always be my baby boy but its getting harder and harder to find any "baby" qualities about you. You love cars, trucks, trains, anything with wheels and you always have dirty hands because you must touch the wheels of any vehicle we are near. You love to tell me when you hear the birdies singing but you call them bee's not to be confused with and actual bee that sounds more like beezzz, Mommy can tell the difference. You love puppies and can hear a puppy barking before Mommy even notices it, you love Ford our neighbors dog but your true puppy love is Melvin, Aunt Cassie's dog. You love our titty(kitty) a little to much sometimes and often have the bites to prove it. You love blueberries, pasta and ketchup(not all mixed together although I'm sure you'd eat it) You test your boundaries daily or actually by the minute and you know your doing wrong because you shout "no no" while your doing it. I love your laugh, your smile, your beautiful face, i love the way you come running to me and jump into my arms, i love more than anything in this world...you are my world!

Lauren...my sweet beautiful Lauren, I somewhere started to lose my baby girl along the way as you are growing into such a smart, beautiful big girl. You are such a silly girl and love to make us laugh. Your funny faces, you know the one where you push your bottom lip out and then lean your head against your shoulder(our secret just between you and me silly face) I never want to forget that! You smell Daddy's, Mommy's and Colin's feet because you think its funny and then pinch your nose and say pewww! You have surpassed your brother with talking, you have a so many words now, i lost track and you pretty much repeat anything we tell you to. Your love blueberries and strawberries but call them both blues, meatballs and carrots rank up there as well. You share a love of puppies just like your brother only once in the presence of a dog your a lot more shy about petting it. Your our child that eats anything you pick up, rocks, cat food, mulch, dirt, sand and the worst so far a clump of hair from the barber shop dustpan! I love you more than anything in this world Lauren, I love you to the moon and back and back again!

Fun in the sun...

Warning...mainly a picture post to tired to do much else!

Playing in our neighborhood playground!

3 toddlers plus 2 adults at the playground = hard to keep up!

Colin has a sharing problem, we are working on that but are seeing no progress:-) Poor Harlow!

Yes Daddy has a Xmas bow in her hair!

We headed off to Lake Tobias on Memorial day, they kids has fun but man was it hot out!

I think everyone thought they were triplets!

Harlow is such an animal lover, she was in heaven

My little safari boy!

Another failed attempt of a Mommy and babies picture...someday??

Both kids are sick this week, Lauren has a sinus infection and Colin has hand,foot, mouth disease and I'm pretty sure Lauren has now also acquired it. What a terrible virus, their mouths are so sore! Mommy is tired but today they are showing signs of improvement!

What we've been up to...

We went on a twin playdate to our friends dairy farm.
Colin and his girlfriend Ella feeding the cow.

Checking our the milking room with our friends, how perfectly posed are my two favorite girls Brenna and Maura!

We got a sugar high trying out some peeps!

Colin eats his peeps in one bite!

My attempt at a Mother's Day photo, this was the best out of like 20.

How cute is he, i miss that little baby, scroll down to see why he is my big boy now!

We turned 17 months

and celebrated with a big boy hair cut...he wasn't happy about that!

still not happy but he sat still, probably terrified to move!

Cool dude!

He's a big boy now!

And that's what we've been up to!

Easter Pics...better late then never!

We started the weekend with a chilly egg hunt.
Checking out our baskets Easter morning.

Cool Shades in my Easter Basket!

Lauren got some too!

Harlow and Lauren

Attempting an Easter shot of the cousins.

And their done!

16 Months...

Their baby look is fading fast :-(

This little man's language is just exploding, i must brag a little, we were told he was well ahead of most boys his age with his words at our Dr's appt. There are just to many words to list. Colin is into anything with wheels, trucks, cars, trains, strollers(he hijacked a stroller at the playground the other day with a baby in it) He is still eating great although he is much more a veggie and fruit guy, he is not so much into meat. Blueberries are his favorite right now!

Can i just say DIVA! She wants what she wants when she wants it and look out if she doesn't get it. Her favorites things right now is her sliding board, balls(pink or purple ones), kitty and dancing. She is slowly learning new words and just learned to say Harlow(her cousin) When Daddy dropped her off at Grandmas on Monday morning she walked in and said "Hi Harlow". Blueberries and strawberries rank at the top of her food list. This girl loves all meats and veggies, now that we are over our double ear infection she is back eating full force!

We got a tent with a tunnel the other day and it took all of 2mins for it to break(i guess that's what happens with a $20 tent) No fear Daddy rigged it back together.

Yes this tunnel causes many fights!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Random Stuff...

Today we decided to go check out the Hershey Gardens, of course since spring is nonexistent in these parts most of the seasonal flowers weren't in bloom yet but it was a sunny 50degrees and the gardens were free today so we picked up Grandma and headed out(only 5mins down the road).

Colin pinching the chickens beak. Lauren petting the piggy.

Colin was playing the wooden drum and in the backround Lauren and Grandma played the bells.

We drove a boat!

Checked out a cow, Colin mooed the whole time!

Played in a wigwam.

And checked out some flower roots, Colin really just enjoyed lifting up the lid! We followed the gardens up with lunch at Isaac's and now a nap!

Colin playing peekaboo behind the curtains, excuse his mismatched pj's!

Dancing in our diapers!

Both kids have snotty colds right now and Colin has his cough again but other then the snot and cough they are doing great. We go Friday for our late 15month appt. Our new favorite food is blueberries, they love them and chant blooo blooo blooo till they get some on their plates. They are really starting to try and repeat what we say so i guess its time to start paying attention to what we are saying...hope everyone had a great weekend!
