Smile Boys



Trying to get two boys to smile at the same time can be a challenge - here they are enjoying some tummy time together!

Justin's Play Mat




This play mat/blanket was a gift from Aunt Annie (Wooten) in Florida. Now that Justin is starting to roll over he can play with all the fun little gadgets on the blanket. Michael wanted to join in on the fun too...so I was able to get some great pictures!

Exersaucin'





Here is Justin in his new get-up, the Exersaucer. He enjoys it for about 15 minutes and then it's time to get out. He can't really get a good grab on the toys yet to chew on but once he does then I'm sure he'll enjoy it alot more. :)

Brothers Like No Others



Michael has really started to engage and interact with Justin - it's a treat to watch! He holds him more now and loves to make him giggle and laugh. Justin watches him all the time with these adoring eyes. :)

Will it always be this smooth? I imagine not, but for the time being we will enjoy it and count our blessings. Pics taken: 8.25.07

I Love You Mommy!


After a day at Como Zoo, Michael said ever so sweetly..."I Love You Mommy." Melts my heart... Pic taken: 8.24.07

I'm 5 Months Old Today!



Here is Justin, 5 months old, and worn out from a day at Como Zoo!

Lions & Monkeys at Como Zoo





Giraffe Riding at Como Zoo



Como Zoo





I had the day off of work on Friday, August 24th so we decided to spend it at Como Zoo in St. Paul. It was a BEAUTIFUL day out...one of the first in a week where we didn't have overcast skies and rain.

I borrowed a double stroller from Geri and it worked out perfect...Justin in front and Michael riding shotgun in the back. We met my friend Kate there with her two daughters, Stella and Abbigayle and a neighbor friend of Stella's, Anna. Stella is 5 months older than Micheal and Justin & Abby are only 3 weeks apart.

We saw lions, zebras, giraffes, sea lions, penguins, polar bears...it's a small zoo, free to the public (though a small donation is asked) and is the perfect size for a few hours of fun.

Coming Soon...Teeth


Still no teeth for Justin but they have got to be coming VERY soon. Here is CHOMPING and CHEWING on his monkey from his play gym. His pink cheeks and constant drooling tell us that they should be coming soon! Pics taken: 8.20.07
