Dylan - At 3

I asked Dylan about his favorite things when he turned three. We found it amusing that some of his answers were reflected what he liked on the day I asked him and others reflected what he has liked for months. Favorite Color - Red/Rojo (For months the favorite color has been yellow) Favorite Toy - red monkeys from the Barrel of Monkeys game Favorite Food/Fruit - Quesadillas / Pear Favorite Animal - Warthog (not sure where this answer came from. Giraffes have been the favorite for a long time. Favorite Movie - Toy Story 1 (recently taking over from Cars) Favorite Outfit - Giraffe T-shirt (now relegated to the outgrown pile) Favorite Snack - O shaped cereal Favorite Book - The Man whose Mother was a Pirate by Margaret Mahy (This was a new book. We have read 'Twas the night before Christmas' every night for about six months of the year). Favorite Friend - Mattias Favorite Cereal - Oatmeal Favorite Drink - Agua de Limon Favorite thing to take to bed - Stella Favorite thing to eat for breakfast - Oatmeal What do you want to be when you grow up - a race car driver What do you want for dinner on your birthday - sloppy joes and cake.

Carter - 2 months

Carter had his 2 month check-up on Monday. He weighed 6 kilograms (13.2lbs) and was 62 centimeters long (24.5"). Here he is today wearing his cute'C' onesie from Sieglinde. Thanks!!  photo photo6_zps1fdfd778.jpg  photo photo5_zps7e0d326d.jpg

Carter has a long torso and long arms (aka Monkey arms). Carter has started to enjoy the animals on his bouncy seat and likes it when Dylan pulls the ring on the lion to play music. So far we have had to roll overs from tummy to back - I am attributing these to a big head rather than the ability to roll.
