hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Nanny!

Last night the boys were playing with my cell phone and Connor called Nanny (he was puching buttons) so i hung up and she called right back. But I snapped this picture. He was giggling and saying "hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" in this really high-pitched voice. So cute!

Fun at The Magic House.

My hard-hat guys.
With Alex and Anna, our identical friends.

So The Magic House is this very great hands-on Children's museum. They ahve a wonderful little area for babies and toddlers and I was able to sneak some weights on the boys. Logan was weighing in around 22lbs and Connor around 24 lbs. Now that was fully clothed and not sure just how accurate, but it sounds about right to me.
We met up with my friend Jeanette and her ID girls, Anna and Alex. WE had lots of fun exploring with our hands.
WEll the boys have yet mastered another gross motor skill, and that is climbing out of the crib. I clocked Connor at just about 7.5 seconds to fully scale the crib wall and get down. :thump: So now we are looking to invest in some crib tents. We are still a bit too young for big-boy beds and I am still WAY not ready to go there.
There are molars attacking from al areas, so the standard runny noses and drool are in order. Thier language develops more everyday. I have noticed their vocabulary booming around diaper changes now when Logan says "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW" about his poopy diapers and Connor repeats me in saying "OH. It's stinky". They also both consider it a huge priviledge to wipe each other's bum while saying these phrases. It is really cute.
WEll, that's all for now, folks! Post more later. We miss everyone!

2007 The Great Balloon Race 2007- balloon glow and before party.

Prior to the balloon glow, our friend Jeanette (who lives across from the park) invited us and some friends over for a lite bite and wine. The boys immediately fell in love with the watermelon (but it was messy).

First time eating watemelon. YUM! They loved every bite!

So we found out that every year there is this big Balloon Race in St Louis that happens at Forest Park. Well, the Friday night before the race, they have the Balloon Glow and blow up all of the balloons and light them up. It was very cool to see these balloons up close. Sadly, it was quite windy, so they had to be deflated after being up for only 30 minutes. The pictures arent that great as I had turned off my flash and so they blurred. I posted only the more unconventional balloons (which Trevor loved).

More pictures....

Here we are at 19 months old

They are just too cute for words. Thier little personalities are just booming these days. Logan takes no crap from Connor anymore and is doing a good job at standing his ground. Both like to discipline themselves and tell each other "no no" when they do something they aren't supposed to do. For instance, they keep climbing in front of the TV. Logan will get out and tap himself on the hand and say "no no". he knows better, but the adventure is worth it, right.

Also, the other day Logan fell and hit his head. Connor brought over his lovey to him and said "awwww' in a high pitched voice. Logan reciprocates too. It is so cute to see them being "brotherly" toward each other.

Lately they continue to present us with more challenges. We have had to revamp our baby proofing as they had figured out the gates and how to crawl over them. They were getting up the stairs and into the kitchen, which are both off limits. We found this really great gate. It is extra tall and has a walk- through gate. It is great too as they cannot climb it!

As you see, they are none too thrilled with thier new challenge. They were very upset when I put it up and they cried for about 2 hours about it. They got over it and now we are very happy with it. We have had to order a new gate also to go in front of the TV. We had to get a big one from online that attaches to the wall. It too is white with the same type of skinny rungs. Hopefully this waill save the TV from damage. The TV is LCD and they poke it with thier fingers and I about have a heart attack every time they do this!
They both have many teeth right now. We had some molars come in on top and some more on bottom. We rearely eat baby food and have discovered a lot of new fruits and veggies we loooooooove.
