My Boys

Brennan just learned how to flip from his front to his back. I doubt he does it on purpose. He's getting the bald ring around his head (Tris had the same). He's also become quite fond of sucking his 2 middle fingers... just like Mommy did. He's a very strong, already pretty vocal, happy-go-lucky guy. He sleeps through the night at least 9 hours and then goes right back down 1 hour later for a 4 hour nap. He eats well and I haven't had any problems in that area yet. I am dreading this month. The 3rd month is rough because of the huge growth spurt. Wish me luck! He's turning 3 months old tomorrow! :O 3 months to me is no longer an infant :/ My little bit is growing up.

Tristan is still not talking. He does a lot of sign language, though. Mostly animals. He loves to sign "fish" while we read him his books. He will pick a book out with pictures of fish in it just so he can do the sign. He will be an early potty train because he's already acting interested. He's even sat on the pot a few times. He grabs his diaper when he has to pee or poo... what a smart guy! He's sleeping in a big boy bed. He and Noah share a room and are loving life.

Noah's turning 5 on August 15th and he reminds us every day. He's been reminding us since May. He insists he's getting a bike and tells everyone that he is. I guess we're getting him a bike! :D He loves the new playroom because everything is on shelves and organized. He must get that from me. He also loves the pool. He learned how to doggy paddle, but still is too scared to take off the floaties, which is nice.

I uploaded (am uploading) videos to youtube of their recent accomplishments. I also finally got the house tour up!

So that's what happened this past month!! I knew that there was a growth spurt @ 3 months, but I didn't realize it was a big one.

I'm glad you're back online!

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
