Future hockey player!

Ben loved his 1st time out on the ice!


Brent carried him a little and let him skate between his legs.


Headed out with the chair for balance...


Geared up!


Putting on his skates...they are so little and too cute!

We took Ben skating for the first time yesterday and he loved it! Brent was so happy that his little guy loved it too...I'm sure he wants a hockey player!

Noah is 5 months old!

Noah is getting so big and changing by the day! He is about 17 lbs right now...maybe more. He is getting quite good at sitting up. He is also starting to jump in his jumperoo where before he would just sit and play with the toys on it. He is always making noises and his most current favorite noise is a really loud high pitched squeal. He gets so excited and sometimes surprised when he does it. It's pretty cute...just not when he does it in the middle of the night! Speaking of the middle of the night...he just went through some sort of phase where he was waking up a ton and crying during the night for about 2 or so weeks. I'm not sure if his little cold was bothering him or if he was going through a growth spurt. It was really hard on me because he wasn't sleeping much during the day either so I rarely got a break! But the last few nights have been better so hopefully he goes back to sleeping through the night!

Winter Wonderland!

Pictures from our deck of the first "real" snow of the season!


Beautiful sunrise




We finally have snow! Pretty late in the season for us. Today it's about 3 degrees so we are well into the winter weather! In other words...Rosie brace yourself for Christmastime because it's going to be cold and dark! :) But when it's clear and the sun comes out it sure is beautiful!!!

Our Little Pink Piglet

As if he doesn't get enough to eat...he's got to eat his toes!

This is Noah's new favorite position. He loves to pull his chubby legs up with both arms and chew on his feet. I usually leave his bottom half undressed after I change him for awhile just so he can chew on them! The funniest part about this picture is since I was trying to keep out his "parts" so it was blog worthy it looks like he's got someone elses legs!

Happy Halloween!

Our little monkey and porky pumpkin!

We took the boys to a concert on Halloween. It was of course for kids with the theme "Alien Antics". Ben loved the music and the lights on the stage. He sat totally enthralled on Brent's lap most of the performance. Noah was content to sit and watch until they played the Star Wars theme...the loud part at the beginning scared him so he then spent the rest of the performance nursed into a sleep coma! This is one of my favorite perks of breastfeeding!!! They had trick or treating afterwards in the building but it was crazy...I'm really glad Ben doesn't even know what candy is so we could skip that part with no objections from him. Our good friends Jeff and Cassandra came with their little girl Mallory too. So much fun!
