Cousin Love

I tell you if I didn't have my cousin Jodi in the city I would move. She is my best friend. Since she has two boys and now I do we have a lot in common! CJ and Aldo have Wryder and Jack to play with any day of the week! They are such cute kids when they all get together! We love you guys!

Mom and dad visit

My mom and dad came up to meet CJ this week (and of course to see Aldo). We had a great visit together! We already miss them- love you mom and dad!

The "Stomp" Dance

Aldo is now doing a 'stomp' dance....enjoy...

Hard Work!

Having two kids is hard work! I am just trying to get my feet on the ground and organized each day when one of boys throws something new into the loop! CJ is a calm baby during the day and then about 7pm he starts to cry- not sure if its colic or not- but he crys off and on for about two hours. Last night I walked outside with him in the carrier which he loved. Sometimes I think he is overtired- sometimes gas- sometimes cranky- no real answers yet. I think with each night I will start to understand his needs more and more.

Aldo is being so good. He was fairly cautious of having a brother in the house at first, only leaning in for kisses when told. But now he wants to tap his head, touch his feet, pull his blanket- all in the name of love of course!

We are enjoying each round of visitors as well! Tony's parents came then my mom- up next Anna, Abby and Ashley then Tabitha and then my mom and dad! Aldo certainly loves all the extra attention he receives!

I am trying to make sure Aldo is still interacting with other children and learning new things each day! Here are some pictures of Aldo at the Children's Museum. My mom, Jodi, GW, Jack, CJ and Aldo and I all experienced it for the first time on Thursday. It was pretty awesome!! Attached are also some pictures from the following day when I took the boys to the Central Park Zoo (we met Aldo's friends Max and Sirah). Lots of fun!!

Memorial Day BBQ

Yesterday we went to our friends apartment building for a bbq. Their son, Ethan, was born on the exact same day as Aldo. He and Aldo love to 'play' with each other- they are not quite old enough to play so they walk around and at least notice each other. CJ as you can tell was having a blast! (at 2 1/2 weeks he doesn't do much besides sleep)Gordan, Lindsay, Tony and I ate burgers and smores and enjoyed a few cold beers! I am enjoying my new freedom since I have been pregnant for practically two years! Our next visitor arrives today- my mom. I will post more pictures after I take some this week. xo

Mom and Dad visit

Marci arrived last Tuesday to help Tony and I out. She was a huge help with Aldo and CJ! She even whipped up some yummy meals for us! Mike joined us on Friday for the remander of their trip. Aldo enjoyed his first popicle with his Papa Mike! We just hung out, went for pizza, and even got a date night! Thank you so much mom and dad! We love you! xox

Miss you already!!!!!!!!

Aldo is a great big brother
