Birthdays and Summer

Vincent has been "talking" more lately. At mealtimes, he'll mutter quietly and then start laughing with this face like he just said something really funny.

Our two boys have a lot of differences in their little personalities. It's fun to watch how they each do things, for example, the civilized one is great at eating a pb&j as it comes.







Daniel, on the other hand, has always liked eating sandwiches one side at a time. At least he's eating the crust now.

Vincent turned one on June 6th. He really liked his cupcake. So much for the healthy carrot cake that Daniel got for his first. At his one year checkup, Vincent weighed in at 24lbs and is 31" tall. Both 75%.


We've been getting a lot of playtime in the backyard. This water table is a hit with both boys.
Daniel dumped two cups full of water on Vincent who didn't even flinch.

Camping

For my dad's 60th birthday, we all went camping. Just one night was the perfect amount of time for our first camping trip with the boys. They got to eat lots of yummy food and stayed up late. Daniel was really excited about the tent until it was time to go to sleep, then he wanted to go home. But looking back, he remembers the tent sleeping fondly.

Daniel is about to lose his big toe nail. I guess we'll just let it fall off as it seems to be attached pretty well on one side still. I hope it's not too painful, but it's been dying for awhile after a toy plastic purse fell on it just right a few months ago.

Vincent is walking well now, maybe more than he is crawling. Here he is standing at the garbage can which he likes to grab with both hands and shake vigorously causing a great raucous.
