"My favorite present.. Food!"
I know this picture is a little blurry as I didn't have time to fix the camera settings, but I just thought it was so cute. They were giving each other kisses.
So much has happened since March that I don't even want to type a summary. 3 birthdays, 2 family trips, 3 haircuts, moving, etc.. So, instead, I'll just make this a picture dump. enjoy. :)
Joseph got his much needed hair cut which was tramatic as always. Derek and Joseph love to do everything the same especially if that means playing with the same toy. Generally Joseph has a toy and Derek swipes it from him and so Joseph cries. So we give Derek a different toy and Joseph swipes that and Derek cries. etc. etc. etc. No, actually they play very well together. It is soo obvious that they love each other.
Sometimes as a parent you start to zone and then realize you haven't heard your kid in awhile. Finding them can either be a disaster or want to make you cry because you think they are so cute. Either way, I run for the camera!
All three of my boys playing trucks. You need to imagine smashing noises and car noises to accurately picture what I walked into.
Derek is still super cute. He has two teeth now on the bottom. You can see them if you look closely. He is also very mobile. I posted a few pictures of him 'crawling'. I think he looks like a frog.
I took these pictures on friday when I was in a mood to play with a camera. I made the kids dress up, and I even attempted the impossible: taming Joseph's hair. I took the vertical pics with Mary's grandkids frame in mind. So if you need/want to print them let me know so I can e-mail the full sized picture. I realize the pictures I post are all very similar- I just can't help but think they are sooo cute. That, and I really love my camera. Blessings on whoever invented digital cameras.
As I was taking pictures of Derek , Joseph notices and comes running over. He plops himself beside Derek and grins. After I take the picture he gets up and runs to the camera to see the picture I just took.
Joseph getting into the lotion.
Joseph when Daddy dresses him.
And Derek trying so very hard to be like his older brother Joseph.
