Welcome back Erin!!!

This past weekend, a good friend from high school/middle school moved back to Cleveland after living in Toledo for many years. We're so excited, especially since we both have kids, and Miles and her youngest Reese are only a day apart!! Today we went over to Erin's to see the new house, and let the kids play. Warning, there are tons of pics!!

Right away, Miles took a liking to Reese!

He just kept petting her, lol!

(He was probably jealous that she has more hair!)

Reese giving me her serious face...

and then she started posing!

Miles moved non-stop once we got outside!

As did Eli, hence no good pictures of him!

He LOVED the riding mower, lol!

Miles found Kerri and Erin very entertaining!

Our almost 1 year olds!!

This is all my pictures of Rylan were turning out...

Until she realized I could show her them afterwards!

Then she started hamming it up!

They were sweaty messes, but stopped for a second for a snack and a drink!

Here's Rylan again, covered in flowers that she picked and had in all of our hair, lol!

It was a great day, but we had to leave as tantrums were spreading like wild fire, at least from my boys, lol! Welcome back Erin and family, we surely missed you guys!!

It was bound to happen...

Eli finally attempted (and succeed) getting in Miles exersaucer! I'm actually surprised it took this long! Excuse the nap time hair and the crummy picture. Mr. Eli changed a setting on my camera and I didn't realize it until later!

Mommy's little monkeys!

My crazy little guys sporting their monkey pjs! You'll have to excuse their faces, as cleaning them has slipped down on the priority list. Kidding...kind of. Eli has some left over breakfast on his face, and poor Miles already cut his first tooth, so the poor guy is drooling like crazy! I hate the fact that my little guys get their teeth so early! Two months is too little to have your first tooth! Now back to the monkeys....

Eli is always so excited to hold Miles!

Miles...drool face and all!

Some silly Eli faces:

Eli saying, "Tada, all done!"

Are you talkin' to me?

This is the face we get after we ask for an apology before getting out of "time out." He acts like we're the ones who need the time out!

And he's back to normal!

Miles slept through the latest tantrum

And a couple more of Mr. Miles!

So sad...pouty lip!

My sweet little man!

Give a boy a magazine...

And he rips it to a million pieces:

And then he buries his brother in the pieces...

Poor Miles...he's a such a trooper!

Miles says, "Mooooo"

Miles had an appointment today with the pediatrician for a weight check. When he was born, he was 7lbs 11oz. He was 7lbs 4oz when we left the hospital, and 7lbs even when he went in at 4 days old for a jaundice check. I was worried he was going to have the same rough start Eli did, (it took Eli a month to get back to his birth weight) but boy was I wrong! Miles was 8lbs today! He gained a whole pound in just one week. The doctor jokes that I must produce cream or milkshakes rather than normal breast milk. Either way, Miles is a little piggy, and he's nursing like a champ. He may end up being bigger than Eli, which I can't imagine! Eli was HUGE...and still isn't small. Here are a few pictures of my little piglet...and some of the big piglet as well!

Eli wanted to play with his toes sooo bad, and I told him just to look...he studied those toes for a good 5 minutes!

Deep in thought

And Eli being his silly self!
