My two boys...




Jonathan turned 9 months old yesterday! He's such a delight, although he's teething at the moment and has been quite fussy this week. Jon Jon, as Michael calls him, is content to sit and play with toys set before him. He does enjoy a change of scenery, but it's funny b/c his brother was never content to be still. Michael's just now starting to play by himself for 10 minutes at a time. They are so different in looks and personalities.

MD has very fair skin, blonde hair, light blue eyes and a long, muscular body. He's been into everything going one hundred miles an hour from day one. I think he'll acheive a lot with all of his energy! He started out as a serious child and was always wary of strangers or faces he hadn't seen in a while. Even though MD has always been active, he is cautious (which I'm thankful for...it scares him to go toward roads or crossings without holding my hand). He is now a really funny little boy and loves joking around, just like his daddy.

Jonathan has a medium complexion, brown hair, dark blue eyes, and a long, chunky body...although I don't notice that he's long b/c he's soooo fat! He is content to sit, watch and giggle at MD...yes, he's 9 months old and doesn't crawl yet. My neighbor was shocked that he can't rise to a sitting position or crawl. I told her my doctor doesn't seem to be worried. He told me at his 6 month visit, "If you were that fat and long would you be able to role over easily?" I'm convinced he'll walk before he crawls. He likes to stand and cruise around a bit...but not much. I think Jonathan's favorite thing to do is talk. He loves to babble and tell you his opinion on things. He gets this serious look on his face and goes on about things...who knows what! Michael and I just look at each other and laugh, and then Jonathan goes crazy too.

My boys are such a joy even though some weeks and days are harder and more challenging than others. I can't imagine my life without them!

Hey Hannah! I am so excited that you have a blog!! Now we can keep in touch more regularly :) Your boys are adorable- love fat babies :) And I'm thrilled to hear that Josh and Joanna are expecting! So, your brothers get the girls and you get the boys? That's like our family actually! Pete's sisters both have only boys- and we got our one boy, but now we keep having girls (I'm fine with that, but I think Pete's scared to have more kids because he thinks all these girls will break his heart when they get married). Okay- didn't mean to write a letter here.
