March of Dimes Walk

I guess I missed an update last weekend for Easter, so you'll find some random pics from Easter and other such chaos around the house. Some updates for the boys.

Ethan - His counting is getting better. Just the other day he got up to 16 and I helped him with a few more and he was counting up to 29. Such a smart little boy. This boy has the moves, let me tell you. We listen to music a lot now after dinner when it's too cold/rainy to take a walk. And, Ethan definitely gets his little groove on (mommy loves this!!). He also entertained us the other day with reading the first few pages of his Peter Rabbit book. He has almost the entire word for word story memorized for the first 4-6 pages!

Carter - yes, you'll see in these pics, the boy loves his food. Most everything we put in front of him or eat ourselves he wants a bite of. He's now doing 4-6 paces sometimes of real crawling, but prefers to scooch because it's a speedier method. He also has taken a liking to walking around holding onto fingers (bring on the chiropractic adjustments!). Maybe he'll just go from scooching to walking?? Lastly, he seems to really enjoy touchy/feely books. He has a few cute ones that whenever you pick those for storytime, he giggles a little bit. Every book you read him, his little fingers touch the pages to see if there is something to touch. I need to make a trip to the library to get some more options for him.

Yesterday I took the boys to DeKalb to meet a group of my high school girlfriends (and kids) and we did the March of Dimes walk for babies. The boys were very well behaved for the entire time. Although the last 3/4 of a mile, I was pulling Ethan in the wagon with the diaper bag across my chest and carrying Carter. I got many a compliment on my strength and endurance for that move. My biggest concern was getting to the end to feed my little men. :) They both enjoyed a hot dog before we got back in the car where they both zonked out on me. I was glad to have them with me and what a great cause!

Enjoy some pictures

Don't mind if I read all of these books Mom
