Happy Camp April 2009

Easter

For the past few weeks now Hadrian has been delighting us with his 'squinty eyed smile.' Its just about the cutest thing ever, but really hard to get a picture of. So here are some of my attempts.

Connolly Ranch

We got to attend Marissa and Kyle's birthday party at Connolly Ranch this weekend. All the kids had lots of fun. What a great idea!

Spring Break

We had a great visit in Merrill last week. We all wish we were closer and could get up there more often!

New Pictures

We've been having lots of fun with the boys lately. Hadrian is now big enough to bathe with Percival (it he's ever awake at bath time). We had a great trip to Turlock earlier this month, and took Percy to the school play which was fabulous!

Hidding

Percy has come a long way from the days when standing with his back against a wall (in plain sight) was 'hiding.' Hide-N-Seek is now one of his favorite games. Even though he starts with telling us where he's going to hide or where he wants us to hide. It's still tons of fun!

January and February

Well its been quite a while since we've posted. Life with two little ones is keeping us busy. Hadrian is getting used to full time day care, and mom is getting used to being away from him so much.

Percy's new mantra is "Tell me a story." Hadrian is perfecting his crawl and his laugh (its a fun stage).

Percy's Baby

(Patrick insisted I take the video down so its not available for the world to see. However, I think its just about the cutest thing ever, so email me if you want a copy - cheers)

Before Hadrian was born Percy entertained us to no end with his commentary about 'Baby Noah's baby sister.' We tried to explain to him that boys don't actually have wombs, but to no avail. He kept talking about how we would have to take him to the hospital one day so she could get out. Even after he ended up making the trip in the middle of the night for Hadrian to be born, he still insisted.

I thought for sure that once he went and saw Baby Noah's baby sister (Isa) in real life that would end it. But no, the only concession that he made is that now its 'Big Brother Noah's baby sister' (being a big brother is quite a note of distinction with him).

I was starting to think it was a stage he was over until come Christmas morning, he opened up a gift for him and Hadrian containing a cute little stuffed bear. The first thing he did was offer it some snackies! I'm sure in a few years it will absolutely mortify him that I posted this on the internet, but it is just too cute!

Brothers Playing

Rolling Over

After what must feel like forever to him and seems like a blink of an eye to us, Hadrian's hard work has paid off.

He first rolled from his front to his back on October 14th. Then he didn't do it again for another six weeks. Since then he's been doing it regularly, but hadn't attempted much in the other directions. However, once we got up to Merrill (where he had all that great floor space) he really started working on it. And boy did he work hard! On December 25th mid day he actually got all the way over and since then has been rolling 360 degrees as often as he can. It still thrills him (and us).
