Photo shoot...




  • Rich and I took the boys to get their pictures taken last weekend. So glad he was with me since they were a handful (thanks boo!). Josh was totally absorbed with the alphabets used for props. Couldn't get one decent shot with him either looking or smiling at the camera. We tried having him pose with his favorite letter M. That only made him ignore the camera even more. So perhaps this picture of him with the letter best captures him at this stage... a two and half toddler simply content and obsessed with M.
  • Noah is smiling more and more these days but of course when it came time for his first photo shoot... no smiles. I purposely scheduled the shoot right after his nap and feeding but that didn't help. He too ignored the camera. And when the yawns started coming, it was hopeless. I was glad the photographer took one decent pic without him making a funny face (last one above). With that big forehead and chubby cheeks... he's definitely an Austria. That nose is from Rich's mom. Josh has that nose also. I *heart* my boys.

He's working hard for those M&Ms...


We are in the midst of potty training. We are getting so close. And we're quickly running out of M&Ms! Josh gets 1 M&M for #1 and 2 for #2. He's clever though. He'll drag out #1 by going just a little bit each time within a 5 minute time span... piling up on M&Ms along the way. So he's got good control... he's got to be ready right?

Noah is a horse. He eats like one. He even grunts like one. I know there's a baby in there somewhere because once in awhile I get those adorable coo-ings.

Did I mention there's a third boy in the house? Yeah it's Rich and he's home in the middle of the afternoon nursing a sore back. He fell asleep before the younger boys. They are all napping now and I'm lovin' this peace and quite. No "Joshua... did you pee-pee on the floor?!" No grunting coming out of the bassinet. No "Hey... massage my back." Which gives me time to... scrap. Got to go!

BUH-BYE!!!

Thursday dinners


Dinner with the Austrias this week was at our house. Just Grammy and Auntie Lizel. Noah is starting to look more and more like his Grampy. He later danced as Daddy sang one of Akon's tunes. Josh hugged Noah willingly... a first. And Auntie Lizel... she just kept hoggin' the camera! Enjoy :)
