More "Awww" moments

Auntie Mimi brought a malt along with her today when she came to visit with Mama, Boppa, and Mimi #1. Henry and Walter were more than happy to help her finish it off!


This morning Henry enjoyed being a big brother - "Tickle, tickle..." When Walter woke up from his nap, Henry went into his room and comforted him with, "It's okay, honey. What's wrong, honey?"

Playing Together

We've had a few rainy days in a row here...lots of time inside. Nate and I loved watching these 2 playing tractor and train together. A bit sappy, but it warmed my heart. These are not the best pictures because they were on the move, but at least I'll remember this first and hopefully see a lot more of it in the future.


They drove around the dining room and family room together, both making car noises...

Piano, Muscles, and Dinner

Today was very, very windy (not too unusual for our area) and cool. We decided to head to the library. I was loading Walter into his carseat when Henry announced that he thought we should walk to the library! What? It's cold and windy! It ended up being a great idea and the weather was much nicer when we arrived home. Sometimes little boys have better ideas than moms. :)


This is a daily event at our house.


Henry showing me his muscles.


We had sticky rice and sweet and sour chicken for supper tonight. When Henry walked in the kitchen and saw what we were having he said, "I need my chopsticks." I was very impressed with how well he did with them this time.


Walter LOVED the rice! Can you see the handful of rice he's holding?


What a cutie pie...and there was rice all over the floor, too.

Thursday & Friday

It rained quite a bit on Thursday morning so we had to stay inside. The boys had fun playing with Play dough...for about 5 minutes and then on to other things.


Walter discovered the red scooter and enjoys riding around the porch. Henry hopped on tonight, too, and they drove around together.



Look out! This is my little wild man.


We have some pictures of Walter with his omma and appa on the fridge that he likes to look at during the day. Today we added a few more pictures. Here he is looking at the new pictures, pointing and saying, "Omma. Appa."

Dancing

This picture was supposed to go with the others I just posted...but I needed to crop myself out first! I'm not nearly as cute as Henry when I dance! Can you see how he's feeling the music?

Everyday Life

Apparently, Walter felt that the fish should be getting more than fish food to eat - He was trying to share some Life cereal with them.


Taking a rest with Tiger on the kitchen floor. I thought it was so sweet how they wanted to hold hands.


Daddy's home! You can see Daddy is a popular guy around here and the activity level really picks up when he walks in the door.


Going through the kitchen cupboards - a favorite activity.

Weekend Pictures

How does Monday always get here so fast? We took Henry and Walter swimming at Lake Florida this weekend and they had a great time. Henry really took off as a swimmer this summer! He likes to swim in circles and jump to Dad from the dock. Walter loved being in the water and we had a hard time getting him out. After seeing Henry jump to Dad, he wanted to do the same thing - instead of jumping, he just steps off the edge!


We had a nice time relaxing on the porch one evening. This isn't the best picture, but it was the best of the pictures we took! What can we expect with two busy, wiggly worms?


I don't know if you can see the table knife Henry is holding, but he loves to grab this bowl and knife and pretend to be a sword fighter, Shrek, or a pirate. What an imagination!


Walter's Omma (Foster Mom) told us that Walter loves dogs...and he does. At the lake, we reunited with Kenda who has been living with my family for the last couple of weeks (Thanks, Family!). Walter loved feeding Kenda every single one of his goldfish crackers just as much as Kenda loved eating them!


I was trying to get pictures of Henry and Walter wearing their new "Big Brother" and "Little Brother" pajamas last night. Here they are tickling before Walter went to his room for bedtime.


I found Henry sitting on the couch and "reading" his car sticker book this morning. He was really concentrating!
