All 4 of my kids.

Hmm... what movie should we watch tonight?
Alex is crawling all over the place and pulling up on everything. Someday, he'll just up and walk.

Matthew's "snowman"

Alex is drinking solely from sippy cups now and can even hold it himself! My baby is growing up.

Alex hasn't fully figured out that not all activities include eating.

The boys finger painted and played with play dough with the paints. Good messy outdoor fun.

Matthew tries to feed us his playdough creations.

Matthew figured out that you can make patterns by using the playdough like a stamp.

Hard at work

Where does he come up with these things? He painted his toenails red with the finger paints. I swear that I've never painted my toes in front of him and have rarely even had them painted since he's been around. Wow.

Ahh! The papperatzi are after me again. (I really don't always make the kids play in the backyard in their underwear. I just strip them down when we are painting, which also happens to be the times I tend to pull out the camera.)

Matthew and his mother. (The thing in his left hand is a glow bracelet from Bill. The thing in his right is a stuffed horse of Alex's, also from Bill.)

Matthew had a blast at Bill's 5th birthday party. He got a balloon sword and scabbard, a yummy hotdog, and pigged out on cake.

Unfortunately, Alex had a bad reaction to his breakfast and spent the entire party feeling rather poorly. We hung out on the blanket and he slept at least some of the time. Poor baby.
