I know they conspire to make me crazy when they are in their beds alone at night... but lately I have been getting the impression that they are making plans for trouble during the day too.

I'm a big boy now!

First, I learned how to catch my pet fish! I've been watching them for a long time now.



Then I got to eat at the table for dinner with my mom and dad (Alison only got to sit in the swing). They ate red snapper and asparagus. I ate a cookie.



I'm growing up fast.

Love, Stuart

Teething Ring!?! Stuart told me it was a bracelet.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Half a Year Old.

Can you believe it. They are growing up so fast. Actually, the half birthday was on Tuesday. We went to the library for storytime and then we went to Freed's Bakery for a little bit of half-birthday cake (mostly for Mom). Then today we went to the doctor's office for a little checkup. Stuart is happy to announce that his body has grown into his head. He weighs a little over 18 lbs already! He was happy to show off all his new tricks for the doc. Alison is still a little bird. Birdie weighs just over 14 lbs. They are the exact same length so you can imagine that their body types are a wee bit different. They both got two shots and are good to go until their nine month appointment--the one they don't have to get shots at, yipee.

Here is Stuart showing off. On a side note, Stuart wants to crawl so bad but he doesn't realize what highcentered means yet.


Alison still likes feet--only Stu's are a bit harder to catch than her own.

What Mom, this isn't a bracelet!?!

Stuart helps too!

Just some pictures we've missed putting up.

Here is Stuart 'bumboing' it. Sometimes he just sits.


Sometimes he talks to whoever is nearby. By the way that's my Grandma Pahnke and my mom.


And sometimes he helps make dinner.


Alison loves to read.


Those books taste DELICIOUS!


But not as delicious as sweet potatoes...


...or squash.


When Alison was at Cousin Connor's house she got to try banannas too. They are pretty good. My Grandma Iroz is holding me.


Last night Dad was holding Alison giving her her last night time snuggle. She was wondering what happened to his face.


Stuart frog towel is SO funny.


Hope everybody has a nice day! We have to go, we have lots of playing to do.

Official.

Well, I've done it. I'm finally official. I have a stationwagon, two kids, a husband that works all the time, puke on most my clothes AND...

A MOMMY HAIRCUT!!!



I guess this means I'm for real.
