They certainly look and act like three year olds to me. It’s a magical, brilliant age and I can’t believe the time has flown by like it has. All of us parents say that, don’t we?

This year, Dusty is taking the boys to his parents house for their birthday. So Brad and I had a little mini celebration yesterday including gifts from my parents, Brad’s parents and us. The boys are so into superheros that when I found these cute tshirts at Old Navy, I couldn’t resist. Here are some cute pics of the boys from over the weekend, including while we were putting up our Christmas tree on Saturday morning.

Logan was so excited about us putting up the tree, he went and got some blocks and marked out where in the living room he wanted us to put it. We died laughing, it was so funny.

Forest took an extra stocking we have and turned it into his Santa hat:

And some videos:

I think it needs at LEAST 200 more balls though…

I don’t even know what this is called so it’s hard to describe it. But Logan understands that if you put your finger out he can lean in and start making a sound with his voice and you will make it sound neat. He has learned to do it on his own with his toys and even his own hand. Straight up silliness I tell ya.

So for our first segment I give you the boys laughing hysterically as Brad plays peekaboo with them one evening after dinner. Laughing babies are THE coolest thing on the earth. Oh wait, no that honor goes to when your baby smiles as you kiss his cheek. Yeah, that’s THE coolest thing on the earth – at least for now.

Over the course of the coming month I’m going to go back and work on getting more videos up, all the way back to their birth. So enjoy the trip down memory lane. All six months of it.
