MIA

Sorry friends. Sleep trumps the blog.

To bring you up to speed on the on-goings at our house:

William: William is learning new words every minute, I swear. He's getting more and more clever too. He has learned to unfold our folding chair to get to the computer, open it and turn it on. Seesh. Hopefully he doesn't figure out the password anytime soon. If he does, MIT will be getting a call about a potential prodigy. I can't believe that he'll be 2 in less than two months. William has two real loves these days: Pirates and Thomas the tank engine. He likes to say "arr" and "ho" (as in heave-ho) and he gets oh so happy when he sees the Jolly Roger. Ahh. i forgot soccer, or should I say "YOCCA". When William sees Thomas he yells out "TRAIN!" We have a very enthusiastic child! Yesterday I scored an awesome buy from craigslist on a traintable and trains for his birthday. Oh, the "TRAIN" shouts of joy that will so soon be filling my house.

Cameron is 5 months old! What a big boy. He smiles and laughs all the time. He's a terrible sleeper, but that was expected. Today though he and William shocked me and each napped for 2 hours at the SAME TIME. they must have known I was reaching the edge! ;) Cameron has started playing with his feet. I love this stage! He adores his brother and smiles, sometimes warily, whenever he sees him. Lovin' the brotherly bonding.
Okay, enough chit chat... on to the reason you're all here. The pictures:




Striped Pajama Time



My dear friend Cynthia got the boys this PJs and I LOVE'em. As you'll see. I guess I'm statistically more likely to photograph the kids when they wear them because most of the pictures I uploaded have the boys in them.

I love this look

Diaper time William loves shoes. All shoes. Especially daddy's basketball shoes and mommy's high heels.

His belly button is getting a little better- but not gone yet.
Rock n' Roll style
William's friend Erich (left) had a rockin' 2nd birthday party. The kids just went crazy with mohawks, stick on earings, and singing a rock version of twinkle little star. William was a little too comfortable with the look so we put away the ACDC t-shirt. ;)


Christmas-time


From Santa to William

From Santa to Cameron

From Santa to Mommy

William's new "pee-pee". Honestly. Of all the ways he could say 'computer', he comes up with pee-pee.

Nathaniel's sister Annie came to stay with us for Christmas. It was so much fun to have her here!
We went to DC with Annie in search of a monument that they apparently moved a couple years ago! Oh well, we had fun anyway.


A Love Affair

So glad to see an update!! Since W loves trains you all have to make the trip to Strausberg!! You can even ride a Thomas train on the days he goes there. I think 3 times a year, maybe one coming up soon. We went on the normal one, it is cheaper, but you can't enjoy all the other fun things there are about Thomas. It is also really crazy but I bet W would love it.http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/day-out-with-thomas.php

You're back!! Your boys are beautiful! I'm sorry about the sleeping situation. Hopefully it settles down soon. I think that is the hardest thing being a mom. Matt asked what I wanted for our anniversary (6th, on Feb.22)...and my reply..."Sleep." There's nothing sexier than a nap. ;o) Love ya! Emily

Glad to hear you got a 2 hour nap... at least I hope you were sleeping during that time! Your pictures were fun, that high heal one is for the wedding video. :-)

Great update Felicity. It's good to see your sweet little boys and to learn a little about what's going on in your lives. Give Nathaniel a hug from his favorite aunt. :)

I love Cameron's face in that picture. That is too adorable. You should have "caption this picture" on your blog. Too cute! They are both getting so big. I am glad you got a little rest and I hope more naps are in your future. :-)
