This week in pictures

Another fun filled and mommy tiring week with the boys. Baby Lance Arthur (yes, that’s his name in case you haven’t heard) is growing big and strong. He’s already measuring ahead…not a big surprise there! I predict at least a 9 lb-der this time. He’s doing lots of flops and kicks, which entertains biggest brother, Aaron, when we are snuggling and reading books. Aaron is baseball crazy, just like his dad. He’s forever telling us about all the different (made-up) scores by all the different teams and looking forward to going with daddy to see the Memphis Cardinals in Round Rock in a couple of weeks.

Aaron and I have been working on swimming all summer and today he figured out how to take breaths and keep swimming. He made it halfway across the pool!

 

After Grant’s first couple of steps a couple of weeks ago he didn’t try to walk much again until this week. Now he’s finally walking more than crawling. We call is the T. Rex walk, but he’s getting there, just shy of 18 months! Notice how I call him Eric at first? I mix their names up the majority of the time.

 

Eric has the giggles and a little fighting off of big brother.

 

Aaron and I made dinosaur fossils this week. Yet another fun project from icanteachmychild.com

Love this one of Grant playing with play dough while Aaron and I made the fossils. Eric has been taking morning naps again this week, so he was snoozing through this.

Here’s Eric ripping apart some old magazines I had. I just filled an empty plastic container with pages from a magazine and let them go to town. Fine motor skills and a few minutes of not opening cabinets and climbing on the table.
