The Digression Of A Photo Op

There is not much to say about this series of pictures. It just so accurately describes life these days. It always brings me back to the old Bill Cosby stand-up about "Jeffery." I would suggest searching it out on You Tube

Happy 9 Months Boys!

Yesterday was nine months since Wyatt and Parks were born. We can hardly believe it's been almost a year. They are learning new things everyday and beginning to really keep us on our toes. Wyatt is now sitting up unassisted for hours. He is very interactive, and his fine motor skills seem to be improving daily. Parks is doing the army crawl and is getting close to the real thing. He is also getting very strong on standing and pulling up. If he only had a little more balance, he would be walking soon. He's already got the motion down.

We get stopped all the time with people asking us how we can tell them apart. Independently, people say that Parks looks like Randi or me, depending on which parent is with him at the time. We don't really get that with Wyatt as much. We see little features from us both in him, but we are still trying to figure out who he really "looks like." Wyatt is still an inch or two shorter and a couple pounds lighter. He has some little, skinny legs and arms, while Parks looks like a real beef eater. He has no wrists...still.

Their personalities are the true tell-tell's. Parks is babbling in longer sentences and loves to cuddle up and sleep on your chest, but he also has a short fuse. Wyatt, on the other hand, is laid back and will give you a good belly laugh but is such a whiner and is already addicted to TV. We have already recognized the difficulty we face in having to parent our two boys using two completely different approaches. They are lots of fun and lots of work.

Better Together...

The boys spanning the generation gap...playing with their great grandmother.

Parks being sweet, usually he's grabbing at Wyatt's face.

Carnival mirror fun.

It took about fifty pictures at one sitting to get a picture where they were this cooperative.

Wyatt Pictures

As promised, he are some pictures of Wyatt by himself that we took since the first of January. We love this picture of him in the bathtub.

This is a picture of him post-circ. surgery. Can you tell how drugged he looks?

Wyatt in his decorated Starband helmet. Nice job mom.
