BJWC Picnic

Today, we went to a end-of-summer picnic at Claytor Lake that was hosted by Susan, one of our fellow Blacksburg Jr. Women's Club members. We all had a blast! The boys enjoyed meeting new people and then spent some time riding in their baby Bjorns with Mommy & Daddy.

Strollin'

The boys still enjoy their stroller and we try to walk around the neighborhood almost every evening before bedtime. The latest addition to their car seat handles is their toys, which jingle and mesmorize the babies when they move. Walker has a blue bunny on his seat, and Garrett likes his orange doggie. It's starting to get darker so much earlier these days, which makes us sad because we realize that fall is soon on the way. We dread the day when it gets too cold to get out and stroll!

Just doing their thing!

Here are a few pics of the babies doing their normal things!

Walker during tummy time. He is getting so good at holding his head up but has yet to repeat his rolling over trick!

Take that, brother!

I'm hungry, so I guess brother's arm will have to do...

Walker cuddling his dinosaur

Yes, this is definitely a favorite toy for both of the boys right now!

Fur Babies

Our poor little fur babies have been neglected since the babies have arrived! So, we decided to do a post for just them...

Honeybear

Lexie
Okay, so a baby snuck in this pic!

Rub-a-dub-dub

Well, we haven't taken bath time pictures in a while and the boys are getting so big! Now, we take a short bath every night as part of our bed time routine (which must work, because they are now sleeping 9-10 hours/night!). It's also obvious in these pics that Walker is quickly outgrowing his brother. Hopefully the Prevacid will help Garrett keep his food down so he can grow faster. Here are a few pics of our little half naked babies :)

Jim calls this Walker's "budda belly" pic :)

Take me out to the ball game

Okay, so we didn't go to a baseball game, but the boys sported their baseball gear while we watched the Little League World Series on tv!

Daddy time

The boys love hanging out with daddy!

Napping (well, at least one of them is!) in the big bed

Everyone loves chillin' in the big bed

Garrett is "Handsome like my Daddy"

Play time

Garrett and Walker continue to grow each day and have recently started paying more attention to their toys. Here are some pics of their playtime!

Taking a break from play

Garrett got his arm through the elephant's handle all by himself!

Walker loves hugging his snuggly dinosaur

The boys (and Lexie) love this new musical toy sent to them by Cousins Abbie & Mollie

Garrett can now pick up his rattle and shake it--all by himself!

They are learning new things every day and we are constantly amazed!

Family Visits

We have enjoyed lots of visit from family lately and have done our best to document these visits with pictures...

Auntie Jen

Okay...these weren't visitors but we took advantage of having some there to shoot a

new family pic!

Thanks, everyone, for coming to see us! Come back soon :)

3 Months Old!

As crazy as it may seem, our sweet little boys are 3 months old! We spent a great day together yesterday, which started with our monthly photo shoot. It's so hard to get them to smile for the camera but we caught a couple of sweet smiles...

LOVE the way they are holding hands!

And you can't have 100+ pictures without a few bloopers...

Typical Garrett...spitting up his breakfast! Good thing we had extra onesies!
