Pumpkin Patch

We took the boys to the local pumpkin patch today and snapped some cute pictures! Alyssa came along for our 3rd year of visiting this pumpkin patch. Jack was much improved over last year when we did some major action photography. He actually sat and posed but we need to work on a cute smiley face (he makes this horrible face when he says "cheese"). Theo enjoyed his first trip and insisted on being held once picture taking was finished. The boys' outfits both had tractors on them!!
We managed to snap a family photo and even a 4 generation shot. Next year we'll have a 13 month old so we'll pretty much be starting all over with the "action photography".

Like mother, like son?

Here is my hospital photo and one of Theo close up. Do you see the resemblance? Do I finally have a child that looks like me? Oh yeah, forgot to add that I weighed 3 whole pounds less than my son!!! I was only 6 lbs 2 oz at birth!

What's up world!

Theo-man has been extra alert lately and wanting to see what's going on around him. He's holding his head up so well now and does not like to be held chest to chest when he's awake. Cousin Ryan stayed with us last night since he and Dave traveled together this week. Theo insisted on hanging out with the boys and listened to the latest music on iTunes. Theo is also "thisclose" to rolling over..... at 6 weeks old......

Mink coat

Gigi gave Theo this chenille blanket back on the day he was born and he loves to sleep under it. Jack also has one, but his is blue. When I put Theo under his blanket in the hospital I had a nurse tell me not to lay him on it "b/c fur can irritate babie's skin". I had to tell her that the blanket was in fact not fur and we both had a good laugh. We still call the blanket Theo's "mink coat" to this day though.... ha ha.

Big boy Jack

Here is the cup that Aunt Bede got for Jack during her Vegas trip. He loves to drink pink lemonade out of it. He's so big!!

Catching a smile is futile

So Theo has been giving us the cutest smiles for weeks now and I've yet to capture it on the camera. Today as I was changing his clothes I attempted yet again and here's what I got. You can see that I was just a fraction of a second late in the middle picture..... but notice the cute dimples! I love it when he smiles!

Theo and Gigi

Gigi came over today so she can watch Theo for me tomorrow. She was a big help at the pumpkin painting by taking "Theo duty". He was nice and alert tonight and I couldn't help but snap this picture of him checking her out. He was sacked out cold just moments later.
