Jason is 9 months!

Jason has been busy cruising around everywhere these days. He is officially crawling (rather than the army crawl) and is even standing up on his own! I think we are going to have an early walker!! He has 7 teeth now and is enjoying cheerios, crackers, mum-mums and puffs - he has even tried cake! He needs to keep eating though to keep up with his brother! He loves to dance and clap too!Here are his stats:
weight = 22.2 lbs (75th percentile)
height = 30" (90th percentile)

Jason's Baptism

Jason was baptized at St Rose of Lima Church in Northboro, MA on August 14th. He did such a great job! I was so afraid that he would freak out when they poured the water on his head since he is a bit older - but it didn't even phase him. He was ready to play in the 'tub' :) He even made friends with an elderly couple a few pews behind us. Jason is so excited to have his Uncle Jack and Auntie Lisa as his godparents.... we have high expectations for them :)

And showing off his romper that I love - it's monogrammed with his initials.

Auntie Aimee came thru twice in one day making a beautiful cake for Jason's baptism :)




Nicholas is 2!!!

I can't believe Nicholas is already two! We will start of with his stats of course :)
weight = 30.b lbs (76th percentile)
height = 35.25" (70th percentile)
Nicholas had quite the exciting past couple of weeks celebrating his birthday! We started off his birthday week by making homemade chocolate chip cookies to bring to 'school' on Monday to celebrate his birthday with his friends. I'm sure most of you know that Nicholas is not a fan of many sweets so I wanted to send him in with a birthday treat he could enjoy too - so chocolate chip cookies it was!
Nicholas' birthday was on Tuesday. We started the morning off with Nicholas opening his presents from Jason. He got a Mator matchbox car, Cars PJ's and a recorder which he loved! Dan and I took the morning off so we could have some special time with just Nicholas. So after we dropped Jason off at daycare, the 3 of us headed to Friendly's for breakfast. Nicholas was even able to snag a couple of balloons to bring home even though is was 8:00 in the morning. After breakfast, Dan wanted to bring Nicholas to Purgatory Chasm to climb the rocks. It seemed like a great idea! I remember going there multiple times in high school and Dan and I enjoyed hiking there too. I must say.......... the holes between the rocks look MUCH bigger when you are worried about a 2 year old falling thru! I was a complete wreck the whole time and Nicholas only enjoyed it for about an hour. But it was a fun and free activity to try.

After rock climbing, we headed over to the new playground they built by the chasm and played for a while. Then it was off to school and work. We sent Nicholas in with his favorite snack to share - bags of Cheetos! I'm sure all the parents loved us that week!

After school, we spread out the rest of Nicholas' gifts. He got a train set and electronic drum set from Dan. And I got him a big boy bike. He;s doing great on it but still needs lots of help to not fall on the tight turns.

We waited to celebrate Nicholas' birthday with family until we could double up and celebrate Jason's baptism also. Nicholas had a great family birthday! He got to spend lots of time in the pool with his cousins and Uncle Jimmy even though it was kind of crummy out. Nicholas was in charge of switching between the big pool and 'little' pool (jacuzzi). Auntie Aimee worked her butt off to make Nicholas an amazing cake in the shape of his favorite disney character - Lightning McQueen!

Nicholas LOVES being the center of attention and loved everyone singing Happy Birthday to him!

Of course Nicholas didn't eat any of the cake - but atleast he touched it this year! Big progress from his first birthday :)

Thanks to all for helping us celebrate Nicholas' birthday and all the wonderful gifts! He is truly spoiled and loved by all :)
