Happy Birthday Henry! Our little boy has turned two. As Jeff says, he's acted two for a while, but at least now it's official. So, we have a 2 year old and a 2 month old. Life is definitely exciting these days.

Here are some pictures from H's birthday party (check out his awesome "firefighter truck" cake). Henry wanted to eat it all day - we learned a lesson to not put cake in front of a two year old when they can't eat it. Same thing with presents - they'll just start trying to open them if you leave the room. That stinker!

Easter!

Papa's birthday and Henry's birthday celebrated together:

We went to a train store on H's actual birthday so he could play with all the different train sets. He of course had a blast, and even got to pick out his own little train.

And, of course H likes to read Miles his favorite book:

2 months

Miles is 2 months old! I can't believe that he's grown so much. Check out these pictures - we even captured him smiling:

Strange noises

Henry "reads" to Miles as you can see - and he can even do it in Japanese...



and Miles likes to make noises. Too bad the noises he makes in the middle of the night don't sound as sweet as these.

For daddy:

For Grandma Mary - Happy Birthday!

Tummy time? I think not

Yes, every parent has wonder-children who exceed all expectations, but I was shocked to say the least when Miles rolled over at 7 weeks old. I had just left the room to change Henry's diaper and Jeff's parents caught the moment. Since then he has rolled over pretty much each time we place him on his tummy. What a wonder-child!

Henry just couldn't resist hanging out with his brother on the floor.

Smile for momma!

Getting big!

Miles is getting bigger of course, and it seems to be happening quickly. He's just starting to smile a little bit, and "talk" a little more, but not too much. He's awake a lot more during the day which is fun and he loves his big brother, except when he's smothering him with hugs. It's so fun to watch them together.

And our little guy-

Family and ouch!

We're 5 weeks into this new baby experiment, and so far I'd say it's a success. Henry continues to love his little brother (just a bit too much) and Miles continues to keep eating, sleeping, pooping (a lot) and crying (a little). We're still getting up 2 times a night for about a 45 minutes each time. Hopefully soon he'll start sleeping more than 2 hours at a time. I could definitely use it at this point.

Some new pictures to enjoy:

Hey little brother - look at us - we can sit on the chair together!



I love holding my little brother!

Henry had his first good "bang" over the weekend. He wanted to show mom something and fell right into the corner of the coffee table. Luckily it hit where it did - no broken nose, cut scalp or black eye. He recovered amazingly quickly. This picture was taken probably 10 minutes after "the incident."
