Cute random pictures of 2 cute boys

Here are some cute random pictures that I came across that I thought I'd share. I know the grandparents that are far away like to see anything they can get!


Josh during tummy time (I thought this expression was too funny!)

Drew showing off his boots one last time (they're too little now, we'll hold onto them for Josh)

Gigi and Grandpa visit

Gigi and Grandpa Randy came to visit last weekend. Gigi actually came a few days early, so we were able to do some shopping and just enjoyed hanging out with the boys. We got out the swimming pool while they were here and enjoyed our first splashes of the season. We also took a trip into town to the Audubon Aquarium. We always love when Gigi and Grandpa come to visit!

Happy Father's Day

Just wanted to take a minute to wish all of the fathers in our lives a very Happy Father's Day! We are blessed to have so many wonderful men as examples for us and our boys. We love you - Daddy/Gramps, Dad/Papaw Dave, Randy/Grandpa Randy, Grandpa, Papaw, and Gramps. Plus, I can't forget our very own "Dada". Russell - you are an amazing father and I love being on this journey through parenthood with you! Our boys have a wonderful Godly example of what a great father looks like and I am blessed to have you by my side!

More pictures

I don't have much to say, I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. Enjoy!

Drew decided he wanted to read a book to Josh. (This was totally his own idea and made my mommy-heart melt. I mean, how cute/sweet is that???)

What a cutie!! (This was after his afternoon feeding one day and he just kept grinning and smiling and making eyes at me - I love it!)

Tummy time - such concentration (or is it frustration?)
Peace
Hello Bunny
Not to be outdone...still such a cutie pie!
(I keep trying to get a good picture of the 2 of them together, so far not much luck!)

Josh - 2 months


Josh is 2 months old!!! Where has the time gone? He's already grown and changed so much. He is starting to be much more awake and alert and we're starting to see his personality shining through (so far, he's pretty laid back and content). He's started grinning and smiling more and it just melts my heart! He's also beginning to coo and make lots of other sounds. He eats every 3 hours during the day, and is going 4-5 at night. It's so fun to watch him grow and change before our eyes. I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my babies. Even on days when I'm sleep deprived and going crazy, there's still nothing else I'd rather be doing. These are precious days that I know will be gone way too soon.
UPDATE: We took Josh for his 2 month check-up (6/8) and he weighs 13lbs., 4.5 oz. and is 23 inches long. That puts him in the 75th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height. He also got 2 shots and an oral vaccine. He did NOT like either of them!!

Great Grandparents

Our boys are so lucky to have 6 great-grandparents who love and care about them. (When I was born I only had 2, but Russell had 8!) It's so fun to watch them around our boys and I hope we have many more years sharing family time together.

Belly Button!!!

Josh FINALLY lost his cord stump and has a real belly button!!! Now I can actually give him a real bath and feel like he's getting clean.
