Half a Year Old





Order above, top to bottom: J, L, J, L. The boys are now half a year old - man that arrived quickly. We couldn't be happier and don't think the guys could be any cooler.

These days John continues to amaze with his vocal repertoire. And while for much of the early days, John seemed less interested in people than did Luke, John is now quite the happy charmer. John actually looks for opportunities to laugh - he loves it and has a dang cute chuckle. Oh, and two bottom teeth have broken through. Julie's reeeally thrilled about that. And John's a major binky-raider - takes the bink right out of Luke's mouth whenever he can.

As he has from the beginning, Luke continues to have an unshaken belief that if he just pushes/pulls/squeezes hard enough, be it a swaddling blanket, piece of furniture, or big person, whatever he's trying to break out of or bring closer to him will indeed cede to his will. This kid is all about brute force and he is incredibly STRONG. We've had to adjust the way we handle him because of it. He's turning into a squirmer. We fear for the safety of all untethered objects and small animals once he's mobile.
