Thankful

I look at my windows and I think, "Look at all those fingerprints."

I need to wipe them off, but something inside me whispers...

Appreciate the smudges found.

The bare feet walking all around.

 

The abandoned toy trains that leave tracks down my hall.

The quirky smiles for photos you wish were perfect but aren't bad at all.
 

 

Shaggy, please-cut-me hair.

 

Boys sitting and cuddling on their tiny chair.

 

Things that I am thankful for, my healthy, loving, little boys.

Sean's 2nd Birthday

Here's the pics I promised...no need for explanation right?

It was a Cars theme party, Sean was very insistent on that, even with other choices given to him.

Thanks to everyone who came and to those who wished Sean well. We are grateful for such awesome family and friends! It was fun doing a mini-party for the boys, Evans family :)

p.s. Can someone tell me how to upload photos faster??!! I am so frustrated and don't have time to sit and wait for it to "load" to only have it say ERROR. Arrgh.

Sean 8 Months

Sean turned 8 months on the 23rd of March. He is crawling, eating puffed cereal like-foods, crackers, biter biscuits, zwieback toast, (along with his normal pureed foods), drinking juice out of a sippy cup or occasionally out of a straw, and likes to dip his toast in spinach dip. Sean laughs hardily, pulls himself up to a standing position (accomplished after a couple of days of crawling), and thoroughly enjoys the water. He understands the signs for: eat, drink, book, and milk. Sean is a handful, likes to cuddle, likes to explore, and is very friendly (a flirt, even). He is best friends with Jake the Beagle and likes to crawl on top of him and pull and pet his fur. He loves all dogs, period. Sean is not scared of loud noises thus far, and thinks its funny when something or someone falls, screams, yells, or claps. He has two sharp little teeth that he loves to use on everything and everyone. We love him and are grateful for such an awesome gift.

Sean Can Crawl

Sean is now crawling. He started Sunday night at my parents house, so they got to see him start. Now he won't stay in one place. I think he is excited to be mobile, he doesn't have to rely on me anymore, which is kind of nice. Bad thing is, he doesn't stay in his room anymore, he crawls out. He thinks its so neat that he can go exploring. It is very cute to watch.
