Beautiful Max

I just took this picture like two minutes ago. I was on the internet, I looked down at him, and I had to take a picture because he is so adorable. Max is sooo sweet. I love holding and cuddling him. He fills my heart with contentment.

Caleb's New Phase...

Caleb is definitely growing up. He is challenging everything we say now, and trying our patience with his constant "No's". He is pretty hilarious at times, too. He mostly speaks in full sentences now. He is obsessed with birthday parties and every morning asks me if he can have one. I try to tell him that he has to wait for his birthday in one month, but he doesn't get it. I can't believe he is already turning 2. He has brought so much joy into our lives!

Here he is trying to be a baby again. He knows he is not allowed in the swing, but it hasn't stopped him yet.
He likes to "play" with my hair... in other words pull my hair.
I just love that little face. He brightens up each day with his smile and sparkley eyes.

Baby Animal Days

We had so much fun last Saturday at the American West Heritage Center with the Mata family. The kids loved seeing all the animals, and it was such nice weather. Bart and Caleb even got a little sunburn on each of their faces!

Here Caleb and the little boy are chasing a baby pig.

Fun Random Pics...

I have been meaning to post some of these pics for a while. They are all of my kids, which is my purpose in blogging;) I love them a lot. They make my life so happy!

Max has been pretty adorable lately. I love him in this outfit. Thanks, Matas and Younts!

This picture was so hard to get. Yes, I dressed them the same for one day. I thought it was cute, but I don't plan on doing it too often. Caleb was mildly amused, but wouldn't cooperate for a pic.

Here is Caleb "swimming". He thinks that he is swimming when he puts his belly in the water like this. He is so cute when he plays in the tub!

Here Caleb was put down for his nap in just his diaper and when Bart checked on him, he found him lying like this. Luckily, no accidents, but we thought it was pretty funny.

The weather has been so nice lately! I finally got to go for a walk this morning with Caleb and Max together for the first time. It was pretty fun. Max fit into the double stroller nicely, for still being so young, so I was pretty happy because now I can get out more.

Growing up already!

Here are a couple of the latest of Max. He is starting to sleep at better times now, which has been pretty nice. He is a really good baby. Still fussy, with the reflux, but it could be much worse. I like the top picture because he looks like he is in his boxing stance. He is growing so fast. He seems so big to me and he is only 1 month old. The top outfit is a 3-6 month. Crazy huh.
