Ready for a playmate!

Andrew is so ready to have Britton be old enough and capable of playing with him. I have found him sitting closer to and interacting with him more. I love watching them together and Britton loves watching his older brother!

Welcome Winter!

Andrew has always loved the snow, especially shoveling it. Now, he has taken to shoveling the snow from the grass onto the sidewalks much to Isaac's dismay. I love his rosy cheeks in the cold weather. Britton just loves being outside! It is fun to have a little snow since it is winter.

Playing in the leaves

One of my favorite times of the year is fall. Our yard is perfect for this time of year because we have a lot of beautiful trees with A LOT of leaves. Andrew was excited to jump in the leaves telling me he was going to jump off the roof. I definitely didn't let him jump off of the roof, but he did have a fun time playing in them. Britton was not so fond of the leaves. He initially wasn't quite sure about them and then started eating them and then started screaming. Maybe next year he will want to jump in too!

Halloween 2009

We had a lot of fun this October especially with Halloween. My sister-in-law suggested we be a crayon box as our theme for the Halloween carnival this year so I started searching for ideas and came up with an idea for the costume. Isaac came up with the soccer cones for the hat. Andrew's grey crayon costume came first and each one to follow. It took a while to sew all of the costumes, but I think that it turned out really fun!

Umbrella

Andrew was watching Sid the Science Kid on PBS the other day and they were talking about rain and using umbrella's in the rain. Andrew caught on quickly and started using the word Umbrella. Interestingly it rained that day so he made sure to have me find one for him to use.

That's my brother!

Any time I lay Britton down on any chair, I turn around to find Andrew climbing up next to him. Andrew loves to be close to Britton and Britton is starting to tolerate the closeness a little bit more.

3 months old!

Britton is already 3 months old! I can't believe how time flies. He is a smiley little guy. He loves to show off how strong he is by standing up and not wobbling too much. He cooes when he is talked or sung to. I think he is becoming more fond of his big brother; he watches everywhere he walks when he is in the room and smiles at him when he talks to him. We love our little Britton bug!

Heading to Sundance?

My sister-in-law, Melanie, asked me today how Britton likes his bath...

I can only guess, but it is surely one of my favorite parts of the day!

Potty Training?

We received a potty chair from Isaac's cousin a while ago and thought we should get it out to have Andrew get used to the idea of going potty. He went one night, lost interest, then went again one other night. Well, tonight we were laying down to go to bed and Andrew said "I ooeey" so we checked to see if his pullup was wet or poopy which it wasn't. We were going to disregard this, but then he was very insistant and jumping out of his bed. I took him into the bathroom and he proceeded to go peepee in the potty. I was so proud of him! This picture on the potty chair cracks me up. He is in his diaper, reading a pottery barn kids magazine, and sucking a dumdum. My little multitasker!
