Snuggle time with Daddy.
Coen always insists on looking at picture books in bed. It's really fun when I can hear him "reading" the books out loud to himself in there.
Coen has "quiet time" every day in lieu of a nap (he has refused to nap since last summer). This is how I found him at the end of quiet time one day. I burst out laughing, took a picture, and then told him never to do it again...
Silas my eating machine. The little device he's holding is quite ingenius as baby gadgets go. You can lock a piece of regular food in it and then baby sucks it out of the mesh bag part. It's like having the baby strain his own baby food! You should see him kick his little feet in anticipation when I put a chunk of frozen banana inside.
Coen is trying out my new sunglasses and carrying my gym bag so he can pretend to go to school. After strapping on the backpack he says, "I'm going to school now. You miss me." (As in, he instructs me to miss him, this is my part in the game.) He then goes to the living room, waits a few minutes, and then "calls" me to say he's coming home. (Probably he's noticed that Dad always does this on his way home from work, since Conrad never gets out at a predictable time.) When he comes back it's my job to ask if he had fun and tell him I missed him terribly. He can't wait to be five, because he knows five-year-olds go to school.
Silas wakes up bright-eyed and well-fed and somehow in my bed, once again. He usually wakes up for just one feeding around 4 a.m. and quickly falls back asleep, but sometimes we are not so fortunate.
I told you he was my big eater. This is Silas eating my Ensign magazine.
For the last few weeks we've all been taking turns being sick. Here are my boys recuperating and watching a movie on the big screen. Coen always holds hands with Silas when they watch movies, it's very cute. Silas will stare at the screen, but sporadically look at Coen as if to say, "Do you still find this interesting? I guess you still do. Well if you find it interesting then so do I."
My parents bought Silas this bouncing station for Christmas and he LOVES it. You can tell how excited he is by how loudly he bounces. It's like every time he sits in it is the first time.
Coen decided Moosey was coming to church and needed to dress appropriately. I let him borrow one of Silas' old shirts and he was very upset with me when I suggested I might need it back.
I honestly don't remember why I took this picture, but it shows Conrad as my handsome doctor husband, so I am including it. :)
Did I mention he also plays basketball? You know, once in a while, when he happens to have an evening free and the guys at church are playing. Coen was thrilled to come with me to watch Daddy play. Later, when Conrad was watching March Madness, Coen wanted to know if that basketball game was at a church too.
