My cute little guys just hanging out - aren't they cute?!

Garrett turned four months! I can't believe his is that big already. He loves sucking on his fingers and thumbs and even tries to when he has his binki or is nursing (which is interesting). I love this picture of him in his towel just after his bath, chowing on his hands. He is such a good baby -- I just love him!!

This picture is what Russ found when he went to get Garrett up from his nap -- to his surprise. Garrett's room was so hot that day that he kept waking up soaking wet. The solution - strip him down! I also tried a little experiment with his hair to see if the gel would hold in spikes, which it did. So, Russ found his little guy almost naked and with crazy looking hair and he had to take a picture. I hope Garrett won't hold it against me someday!!

We went through a bit of a hard time getting Cole to sleep in his big bed, or "baseball bed" as he calls it, after we moved. It took a few weeks of trying new things, but he is finally sleeping really well in his bed. We got so desperate that we bribed him with M&Ms (his favorite treat) and today when he got up from his nap the first thing he said was, "I want my three M&Ms". I couldn't help but laugh! I think it's a great trade - Cole sleeping without a fight for a few moments of chocolate enjoyment and I have a few moments to myself (if Garrett is asleep that is). Cole will read books until he falls asleep and sometimes that happens when he is on the floor or wearing his hat or sometimes he is even on his bed. He also sings to himself while he is winding down. He has a crush on our neighbor's little girl and I heard him singing "Anna's World" to the tune of Elmo's world. He is such a fun little guy!
