I've finally added a few more scrapbook pages that I've worked on recently . . . I keep saying I'm finished with Peter's album and will be starting David's but I keep finding "just a few more photos"!!!
Here are some new cards I've made recently - some of the pictures aren't great but it's the best I could do!!!
Whew! We've been busy and it's been hard to update the blog lately! David turned six months old on April 28th and weighs 15 lbs, 15 oz and is 27 inches long!! He can sit up by himself and is trying to crawl (with no luck yet, I'm afraid!). Peter is doing well and talking in sentences, sounds like a 10 year old some days.
We had a nice visit with my mom, Nana, while Paul went to California on business for a week. She was a great help to me with my two busy boys, and she and Brigid babysat them both while Paul and I went away to a wedding early in the month. Thankfully, David now takes a bottle regularly! That makes a lot of things a lot easier on all of us :-)
I'm heading out of town tomorrow just overnight to visit a friend and go to her baby shower. I'm very nervous to leave Peter as he has major separation anxiety lately. I know it will be a great experience for both Paul and Peter (and me, for that matter), but it will be hard for me all the same. Wish us all good luck!
We had a lovely Mother's Day last weekend . . . Paul made flinchies for me and Brigid and they were delicious. We went to Bruce Pit for a hike with the dog and then had a yummy curry supper at Brigid's house.
All four of us are just getting over a nasty stomach flu - way too much throwing up took place around here the past few days. Thank goodness we're all doing a bit better now!
Here are a few recent pictures (I'll have more soon once the rain subsides around here):
Here is David in a new t-shirt sent to us from a member of my I-Village message board - thanks Alicia :-) I think I'll have to visit Quakertown, PA now!!!
Here is Peter being camera-shy as he is so often lately . . . tried to catch him in a cute outfit getting ready for a birthday party!!
Too sleepy guys who just got out of bed in the morning!! And one still sleeping behind them :-)
Peter playing the fool at mealtime . . . again!! Modeling his new Roots t-shirt his Nana bought him while she was visiting . . . David has a matching one too!

And a bedtime shot on a different day . . .
MMMMM, this stuff is yummy!!
Dinnertime is the best :-) Wish I could get my paws on that spoon . . .
The beautiful flowers I received for Mother's Day . . . and a gift certificate for a pedicure from Brigid and Peter and David!! That will be put to good use :-)
Here are a few photos from Easter weekend to share with everyone. We just enjoyed a small family Easter with Grandma, who cooked up a DELICIOUS rack of lamb. It was one of the best meals we've had in a long, long time. Yum yum! Peter enjoyed his Easter egg hunt and that big ole' rabbit brought a basket for both boys. Pete has been telling the neighbours today "the East-uh bunny put da eggs in my boots!!!" Peter and David were remarkably well behaved at church too . . . absolutely no screaming in the church came from our pew!!
David is becoming more of an easy target to photograph these days :-) He loves to hang out and play with his toys :
Likes to stand up (although doesn't pull himself up alone yet)!
Likes to sit up by himself (although sometimes still falls over)!
Likes to hang out with dad!
And play with grandma!
Brothers in action:
Out for a nice hike with Rudy at Bruce Pit over Easter weekend:
Mommy and David enjoy the chilly Spring day!
As do Peter and Daddy . . .
Well I haven't updated in a while, things have been busy here! We had a little bout of not sleeping well, which leaves mommy very tired. David and Peter are both so much more active now, they are taking up wayyyyyyyyyy more of my time - not that I'm complaining ;-) David has started cereal and really loves it - I don't think he'll have the appetite problem his brother has! He will be six months old in another week or two, hard to believe. He can sit up very well and is even starting to sit up by himself. And since he can get out of the bumbo now, well, we're spending less time there!
David loves to sit in the exersaucer and play and look around . . . especially watching his big brother play and Rudy run around. The weather is *so* much nicer here lately so we go to the park everyday and walk and hike with Rudy almost daily as well. The fresh air suits us all and David is loving every minute of his first Spring. We visit two local playgroups each week so Pete can interact with children, play, learn and do crafts.
Pete is talking up a storm. Suddenly he is speaking in long, complete sentences and shocking us with his vocabulary every single day! He is so smart and fun to be around. He loves to joke around with mom and dad and grandma and also is developing quite the little sense of humour :-) We enrolled him in a preschool program called Duffer Doo that runs once a week, but little Pete is not quite ready for that yet. He was a little sad when mommy left so we have decided we will try again and enroll him in September!!
So enough about us, here's some new pics of my gang!
Dad reads the boys a story . . . all three guys huddled in bed :-)
David lounging in his fuzzy warm pjs!
And caught in action laughing at mom!
I'm gonna plant a big one right on my mom's face . . .
Having fun playing in the crib . . .
Yum yum I just tasted my first bite of cereal - and I think I love it!!
Here are a couple recent pictures of Peter with his new haircut!!! It's hard to get a picture b/c he rarely sits still so I bombarded him with the camera while he ate lunch :-)
And taking after his father . . . our little handyman. Let me tell you, you really have to *pry* the screwdrivers out his little hands!
