The Barefoot Babies: Stomach Flu, Shots, Park and Our First Shiner

Post a couple pictures down... Don't know why it is in the middle of the page... sorry!

Christian's shiner. It was a pretty big goose egg and shiner. He is smiling through the pain, very tough little dude.

I thought Brock's favorite thing should make the blog. He just can't live without bun bun. He is a green blanky with a white bunny head. He carries him EVERYWHERE. We have like 9 back up bun bun's in case he looses him. I have nightmares about that day. If we ever see a green bunny blanket we buy it! They are hard to come by and other colors just won't do. He can be all green or green and white but other than that he doesn't like them.

Brock loves to be pushed around in his wagon or car or anything with wheels.

What a two weeks! Brandon traveled some last week and right before he left 3/4 of us had the stomach flu. Lucky Christian was the only one who didn't loose his cookies at some point. It only lasted 24 hours which was good since mine hit at 1pm on Wednesday night. Long night! We have done a reading event at Pottery Barn Kids and got our pictures with Peter Rabbit, had lots of park time and also had our 18 month shots on Friday. No fun. Brandon was busy so I got to take the kids in for a re-ear check up and shots. Let's just say Christian was not a happy camper. That is an understatement!

Christian has been our difficult baby still. He is fearless as you can see by his injury pictures. He took a digger on the slide (black eye) and then leaped off our end table today (scrape on his forehead). Wowzer, it is tough to keep this little daredevil safe! I am so glad I just have twins and not three when I go to the park.

Boys are trying to say more and more words. Brock has down "ball" along with his others and they both call our nanny Sandra "Anna". Sandra also speaks to them in all spanish and she says they have picked up a couple of spanish words as well! Yeah!! Hopefully one day they can teach me. I think Christian is MUCH more frustrated by not being able to express his words. He tends to whine and cry when he can't get his message across where as Brock is to busy to care. I think that is why Christian has been more difficult lately. When he is able to express himself better I think he will be back to his sweet self. Christian also has a FULL mouth of teeth. He is done for awhile I think. Brock still has several to go.

We taught the boys one piece of sign language. Hungry. They do it all the time to tell us they are hungry. I should have done more because it is so helpful to us!

The two videos below really make me laugh! The first is Brock trying to vacuum. SOOOO funny! We can't ever say they aren't watching us right! He also tries to sweep up with the broom. The second is Christian in the car and Brock falling while pushing and then Christian falling.

Saturday morning at the Peter Cotton Tail reading.

We liked the bunny.

Brock fell asleep with his new nap mat from Costco. Isn't this darling??? He loves his little lamb already.

I included this blurry picture as an example of what most of my pictures look like. We have one in motion at all times :) I bet half of my camera looks like this.

The boys with their new backpacks. Aren't they so cute? Thank Grammy and Grampy Barefoot.

Christian with his backpack on :)

We bought the boys these chairs for the living room and have another member of our family who likes them too. Wolfie waits until the boys go to sleep and takes their chairs.
