Happy Friday!

So this week was a very boring week. It snowed Tuesday and iced over on Wed. so we didn't get to go anywhere and Miss Lori didn't come visit us because she didn't have to work on Tuesday since the schools were closed..... we find it interesting that some people would consider playing with two adorable little boys work... but whatever!

Yesterday we went to Nana and Grandad's and they watched us again for a couple hours while Mommy escaped to "reclaim her sanity"... yeah we don't get it either. But we had fun. We love playing on our big slide that they got us for Christmas. We chase each other around it, climb all over it and play peek-a-boo. We also watched tons of Elmo's world and ran all over the house.

We didn't sleep well last night, Alex didn't take a nap yesterday and we were both up around 2am for a good bit. On Sunday Mommy and Daddy are going to Aunt Courtney's and Uncle Todd's to watch the STEELERS BEAT THE CARDINALS... or at least hopefully that's how that plays out. We are going to Nana's and Grandad's since the game is on during our bed time. Maybe next year we will get to stay up and go to all these fun parties!

Enjoy the pictures!

Alex goes WEEEE down the slide


Look what Alex did!

ALEX SO PROUD!!!!!!

Update!

So we know we haven't updated since Obama because president. There hasn't been too much going on here. Wed. we went to Nana and Grandad's house and had tons of fun running around their basement playing with toys and climbing on their stairs... as usual.

Thursday Miss Ashley (a friend of Mommy's who gave us our favorite monkeys for our 1st birthday) came over and played with us. Then we napped. Then Miss Cheryl came to play with us. Alex hasn't walked since last Tuesday, just being difficult like that. But he has been standing and hanging out like that for longer periods of time.

We haven't been up to too much the last two days. We are currently blogging from Nana and Grandad's house waiting for Aunt Courtney and Uncle Todd to arrive... oh we almost forgot... our baby cousin-to-be is a.... GIRL!!!!!!!!!! Everyone is so excited, we can't wait to meet her... however we are going to talk to her today about staying in for a long time, since we are expert NICU babies... and while we LOVE our nurses and all the attention we received.... she would have more fun going right home where she will be spoiled by both sets of her grandparents and all her aunts and uncles... since she is the 1st girl baby on both sides of the family. Wait... does that mean attention won't be on us anymore.... hmmmm... this may not be as fun as it sounds.

Alright... well gotta go play with all of our toys... Mommy is taking pictures so we will post them later this week!

YAY!

Happy Inauguration Day!!!!!!! While we will probably be asleep while history is being made, Mommy is going to record it so we can watch it later. We had a fun weekend with Grandma and Grandpap, they stayed till yesterday and made it home safe and sound... they just barely missed that big 35 car 5 truck pile up on 70 W on their way home.

Today Miss Lori comes to play... YAY!!! It snowed yesterday... YAY!!! Tomorrow we are going to Nana's and Grandad's... YAY!!! Tomorrow we also should find out if our new cousin will be a boy or a girl... YAY!!!!

Also BIG congrats to Uncle Bryant and Aunt Laura ( Alex Godfather and his wife) on the birth of our newest playmate Carter. He was born on Friday. YAY!!!!!!

Alright... gotta go play.

BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG NEWS!

Hey everyone, Nate here. I have a huge announcement to make. My baby brother, yeah I know it's only by a minute, but I am still older and I will never let him live it down... anyways... my baby brother Alex, and let me tell you how proud I am of him... I mean not as proud as I am of myself, I mean come on lets face it... I am AWESOME! But I think you all knew that. Anyways, my baby brother was playing with Miss Lori, who brought her friend an O/T and Miss Lori got Alex to stand up perfectly, which I really don't know what the big deal is because I have been doing it for MONTHS!, anyways so he was standing there a little ways away from Mommy and he from a standing all by himself position he too 5 steps to her. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Previously he had been falling gracefully while taking steps... but it's officially ALEX IS WALKING!!!!!!!!

He was so proud of himself he did his excited thing where he waves his arms like he is going to fly away, opens his mouth really big and screams for like 5 minutes. Mommy was so proud too, she called Daddy and he got proud to..... hmm maybe this isn't a good thing... now I wont get all the attention..... and that mean soon he will start being able to chase me back or worse... out run me.... hmmmm.... maybe we should rethink this whole Alex walking thing..... this isn't going to be good news for me.

Oh well. We are off to Nana's and Grandad's for the day, maybe today Mommy will bring home the rest of our Christmas toys.

Bigger News!

So on Monday Alex took his first unassisted step... today he took 3 steps towards Mommy all by himself.... Daddy help steady him before letting go. ...... speaking of Daddy..... Mommy spent the night at Aunt Katie and Uncle Ben's again and when she came home Nate had a new hair cut thanks to Daddy..... she is less than pleased... but its not as bad as what she did to Alex.

Lots going on this week, P/T, Visiting Nana and Grandad, Grandma and Grandpap are coming down ..... and a weigh-in for Alex with Dr. L. on Tuesday. Stay tuned!

Oops!!

We forgot some very important news. Alex too his first step from standing perfectly by him self... he took a beautiful step towards Miss Cheryl on Monday. Mommy was so excited. YAY!!!!! Hopefully Alex will be walking soon so we can run circles around Mommy all day long.

Nothing new to report, no big plans for the weekend. Mommy and Daddy are exhausted from lack of sleep this week because someone has decided he wants to get up in the middle of the night for no reason (THANKS NATE!!)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

rainy yucky day!

So we were sleeping so peacefully this morning when Mommy rudely woke us up at 7:30am. The nerve! She had some doctors appointment or something. I mean really... how rude to wake us up.. I mean granted last night we woke up the whole house screaming at about 1:30am... but that's our job!

Oh well. Nothing really new to report here. We still have minor colds... but our noses aren't as runny as this weekend. We have nothing else planned till next week when we get weighed in with Dr. L, hopefully Alex has put some meat on his bones. He is feeling heavier to Mommy.

That's about it. Hopefully everyone keeps warm and dry today.

GOOD NEWS!!!!!

Nate's but is back to normal. Just a touch red but he is pooping without issue!!!! YAY!!!

We had a fun weekend, Grandma and Grandpap babysat us while Mommy and Daddy had a sleep over at Aunt Katie and Uncle Ben's. Saturday Daddy and Grandma and Grandpap took us for a quick walk in our new wagon that Great Aunt Helen gave us. It was cold but we had fun.

Well we got to go get ready for Miss Cheryl to come, Alex is debating whether he will show her his new trick or now. He can stand up completely on his own for quite some time. We will see.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!

We hope everyone had a fabulous new years eve. Alex slept threw it, and Nate woke up just in time to see the ball drop in times square and then it was back off to bed. We know we owe you all a big update on what has been going on this past year... we have just been too busy playing with our new toys... plus Aunt Katie and Miss Becca came over yesterday to play for a little bit... YAY!!!!!!!

Now we gotta get ready to go to Nana's and Grandad's cause they are going to watch us while Mommy and Daddy go to Aunt Courtney and Uncle Todd's to watch the Hokies play in the Orange Bowl... GO HOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
