Best Christmas in Seattle

Wow! What a wonderful first Christmas with the boys. We woke up to find that Santa had paid us a visit and tore into our stockings.

Next, we enjoyed the gloriously sunny, mild Seattle day at Greenlake. What a treat!

Merry Christmas!

Helping with dishes is fun

Notice how Nolan does not like to touch his bare knees to the hardwoods when he is crawling.

News, Tricks, and Skills

It seems that Nolan and Caleb are full of all kinds of surprises lately. Here is what has been happening around here:

:: 11/28 - Caleb has finally sprouted his first tooth! His lower left front tooth has surfaced. It looks like its next door neighbor is also working on making an appearance.

:: 11/30 - Both Nolan and Caleb are able to kneel now. Caleb likes to kick one of his legs out like a kick-stand.

:: 12/2 - Caleb stood on his own for several seconds. Not to be outdone, Nolan climbed all the way up the staircase.

Here the guys are with daddy. They are pretty tired out after such a busy day.
