Two-Thirds and a new penguin

So far the only things we know are gone are the two stuffed penguins. We gave in and replaced one of them to continue our penguin picture tradition. Izzy is two and two-thirds and Charlie is two-thirds (eight months). Izzy is working hard at potty training and getting better all the time. Charlie is crawling everywhere and pulling up where ever he can. (We are trying to convince him that the potty is not a good place for that...but with Izzy training we spend a lot of time in the bathroom :))

Seven Months late after a big move

Here are some pictures of Charlie and Izzy as Charlie reaches seven months and Izzy two and seven months (yay for two being more than halfway over :)). We have made the move from Maryland to Georgia this month and so far the stuffed penguin is still hiding. We will hope it turns up soon.

Here is Charlie on our new kitchen floor.
I tried to get Izzy to sit with him, but she decided I meant run circles around him instead :)
Here is all three oh wait one is hiding...Can you find her?

At seven months here is one of several new tricks. He is sitting himself up with ease, working on crawling and the day he his seven months he pulled up in his crib for the first time (all before he has learned how to sleep through the night)! We are in for it :)

Six Months!

Here are some pictures of our cute boy. He is generally a happy boy who still struggles with the nighttime sleep...yawn. I have to remind myself that his sister did too at this age I just didn't have a toddler to deal with all day long at the time :). He is a very physical boy who can roll easily and is working hard on sitting up on his own. At over twenty pounds he has given all of us a work out as well. Check back for the official numbers in two weeks when he goes in. He got to try sweet potatoes for his big day!

Easter Train Ride

We had a LONG HOT wait but we did get to ride the train with the Easter Bunny along with Edina and her Mommy. The girls were hot and worn out, but they enjoyed themselves. Izzy and Edina spent a lot of time together with Keisha their shared nanny. The girls will miss each other lots when we can't just walk down the street for a park playdate!Charlie enjoyed the train as well.

Happy Easter

The Easter Bunny came while Izzy was sleeping....

She got a Ms. Potatohead Bunny

We took some pictures after church all dressed up...This one made mommy nervous so...

She came up too!

On the ground it is safer for the big sister hold.
Daddy likes to cuddle us too!

Egg Hunt

We hosted an egg hunt here for Izzy and Charlie's friends. We even had an Easter Bunny!

The kids had lots of fun and we hid about 300 eggs.

We were thrilled the rain held off. We failed to get a picture of all of us, but this is pretty cute of three of the four.


After hunting for plastic eggs, we dyed some real ones.







We also enjoyed a pizza lunch at the end of the fun.


Yay for an egg hunt!!!!

Two and a half!!!!

It is hard to believe Izzy is two and a half already and yet life before her feels like a distant memory. She is a sweet child who knows her letters and most of their sounds along with 1-15 most of the time. She finally decided that colors are worth knowing. She has also embraced her opinions in true two year old fashion :). She will start big girl school in the fall where Sally went to school. She loves school and we think that she will rise to the challenge. Here are a few penguin pictures all her own :)
