Cael

My little baby is getting so big I can hardly stand it. He can sit up pretty much by himself. He smiles so much and laughs. Max can get the best giggles from him. He sleeps through the night, except when daddy is out of town. He weighs 17 pounds and his getting so heavy to carry around in his car seat. He loves to play and look around and hates it when anyone is out of his line of sight. He really likes laying by his brother and watching Max.

Dressed up in his Guatemala shirt that Uncle Chris brought back from his mission when Max was a baby. I thougth this picture was funny becuase it looks like Cael is waving to the camera. Cael also took over Max's Elmo. Max is not very pleased with this. I am sure that this is only the beginning of the fight over toys.

Love that smile. He also has crazy hair. The nurse at the doctors office said it looks like baby chicken feathers becuase it is so fine and fluffy. He has about 3 strands that are twice as long as the rest right on the top of his head. I love it.

That's right people I can hold my bottle. That does not mean that I do it all of the time. Why use my magnificent skills when other people will do it for me.

Max likes to get in to bed with Cael in the morning on the weekends and wake him up and play before breakfast.

Toes! I love my feet! Cael will grab his toes and turn in to a rolly polly. He will go from side to side even if he is sitting up.

I know I am totally biased but my boys are adorable!

Sweet Tooth

Max has quite a sweet tooth. Just like his Daddy. The two of them love candy, sugary candy. I personally love chocolate. Back to the subject. I was putting away laundry and I came in to the kitchen and found this.

Max had pulled up a chair from the kitchen table over to the island. All becuase he saw a bag of swedish fish. He was so proud of himself for being able to get the fishies all by himself.

Things don't always go as planned...

So Max loves his daycare and they were having a preschool program for the end of the year. Now, Max is a little young to be in the preschool but they let him participate when he wants, which is not often. But he had a part in the program and we practiced and practiced. He was so good! His one line was "Thank you for coming" He had it down! He practiced at school and knew all of the songs and was all ready to go. But when the time actually came...

He was supposed to be in that empty space on the right. You can see his tape mark. He walked out with the kids and then straight in to a chair on the fron row.

Here it is, labeled.

But Max chose to sit by one of the students that works at the daycare and play with dinosaurs.

Max and Cael

So I have not been taking as many pictures lately as I normally do and that makes me feel bad becuase when Max was a baby the camera was a part of my hand and it just hasn't been like that with Cael. Probably because I need both hands to keep track of both boys. But here are some shots of the boys

Here are the boys laying on the ground in a big pile of blankets that Max seems to always need.

Cael is getting so big and so strong he can almost sit up all by himself. He also has to constantly be standing and jumping up and down on your lap while you hold him. He does not like to sit sitll at all.

These are shots of Caels pouty face. I know I am so mean, I did not console my child while he was upset, I grabbed the camera. This look is just too cute. So sad but so cute!He sticks his lip so far out. What follows this face is loud and definitely not cute and there is no need to picture that (just cover your ears)

Play!

Cael has really started to play. I has been fun. He really likes his exersaucer, playmat, bumbo chair and all of his hand held rattles and balls. Max also loves to play with him and shake Caels toys to keep him happy.

Egg Hunts!

Sorry my pictures went all wierd while I was laying them out.

The Annual Burnett Egg Hunt that my Aunt Gaelynn throws was super fun as usual. Max had  a great time finding eggs! He was so sad when he had found all of his. He aslo a a bunch of fun with the pinata. He really liked hitting it with the stick and watch everyone else hit it. Cael loved getting held by everyone but I think that his favorites were Aubri, Dani and Jordan. He even fell asleep while Aubri was holding him. She is the hot redhead in the pictures, Cael is under the blanket that is covering her.

Max decided to wear his basket like a hat. He is looking at his "Jesus book" it tells the Easter story.

Natalie, Alex's girlfriend, invited us to her work egg/candy hunt. Max got quite a haul of candy. Thanks Natalie it was fun.

Mommy and Cael

I just thought that I would toss a picture of Cael and I since they are few and far between.
