Spring has Sprung

Spring Break 2014 is coming to a close...and I'm cool with that :). Being home with two mobile, energetic boys has me tired, exhausted, and just plain worn out! We have managed to have some fun, but we have managed to have some arguments. Yes, I argue with my 10 month old. Example: when he tries to climb the fire place and I say no, he turns and cusses me in baby talk. I consider that an argument! Here are some pics of our week:

Love these two boys more than I could have ever imagined. I love them and I am ready to go back to work! Ha! 

Oldest/Annoying

Oh!!!!  This photo says so much about these two.  On one hand, it shows just how much Nolan loves to annoy his brother. He isn't mean to him, but he sure doesn't know when to stop. James rides the fence of having fun/get the heck away. So, in Nolan's defense James is a little wishy washy when it comes to playin with his older brother. On the other hand, this picture show so much of Nolan's personality!  Do you see that sweet smile? He is almost oblivious to James and his irritation. Nolan lives in the land of fun and play which can occasionally drive James crazy.  I think it's a little too early to pin down James' personality, but as of now he seems to be a little more serious than his brother.  I just love seeing how these two are growing and developing into thier own distinct personalities :)

Teething is for the BIRDS!

My poor James:(  He is one mean teething machine, and it's wearing us out! Nolan didn't cut his first tooth until he was 8 months. It seemed as though he cut two at a time each month after that. James on the other hand already has 8 teeth at 10 months. These last four have all come in at the same time.

In this pic, you can see that one of the tops has broken through. The other top plus the one next to it are bulging. He is chewing everything in sight, and we should have invested stock in baby Orajel. Praying that this phase passes soon because brad nor I can handle the waking in the middle of the night for much longer!
