Happy Birthday Isaac Cole!

He was so pleased with everything! He kept saying, "thank you!" and giving us hugs and kisses! This boy really is the sweetest.

After all day of asking, it was finally time to open presents!

He has been playing with this non-stop. It is a "big boy toy!"

At Chuckie Cheese...Beau enjoying some pizza, he had fun too.

Checking himself out ov tv

He looks so big!

Happy Birthday Beau!

He was a little unsure about all this

Going for it! No more pics after this point, but he enjoyed licking all the frosting off! I decided to try and make a semi-healthy cake for him and used a recipe for Applesauce spice cake with NO sugar and cream cheese frosting. I found it at wholesomebabyfood.com. It had a much denser texture and was not super sweet, but the yummy cream cheese frosting definately made up for it :)

My sweet boy turned one year old last week! My how fast it has gone! Beau is walking everywhere and climbling whatever he can. He's like a little monkey. He learned to climb the stairs and onto the couch. He is such a stong boy. One day a few weeks ago, Andy was home with the boys while I was out running some errands and he sends me a picture message on my phone as he often does. It was a picture of Beau standing on top of our tv stand bracing himself on our flat screen tv! What a sight that was! Andy said he was in the kitchen sending a quick email and noticed it had been a little too quiet so he got up to check on Beau and he had managed to climb his way up there. Very scary and thankful he didn't fall, but we had to laugh!

Beau has such a vibrant personality! He loves to make himself known and isn't afraid to use his voice. Even if it's in the middle of the night or the middle of the mall. He still is having issues with sleep, but he is getting better. He slept through the night the last two nights, so we may be turning a corner! He recently started drinking whole milk and I am starting to wean him. It is going really well so far and he really likes his milk. We had both the boys 1 year and 3 year check ups last week as well. I am so thankful for two healthy boys. Beau is doing great, but is quite small for his age. He weighs 18.3 pounds and is 29 inches long. He is in the 3rd percentile for weight and 25th for height, which really isn't important overall, but it is nice to know. The doctor said there is no problem with his weight and that he probably just has a really high metabolism and is skinny because he is so active. He is actually a really good eater! I have been trying to give him lots of protein like avacados, scrambled eggs, yogurt etc. and he eats it all.

Isaac on the other hand is my big boy! He is in the 75 % for weight and 90% for height at 34 pounds and 39 inches tall. He is getter so big and is extremely smart! We are getting ready to celebrate his birthday tomorrow since daddy is going to be away on the actual day so we are taking him to Chuckie Cheese much to his surprise! I will post some pics of him soon!

Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve at a Sesame Street amusement park called, "Sesame Place," located about an hour away from where we live in PA. It was so much fun for all of us! I think I had as much fun as the boys. Isaac wanted to ride all the rides and was so brave, even going on a little roller coaster with me. Beau did great as well, he was a little scared when the characters came right up to him, but overall he was a pretty happy camper.
