Two Months (yesterday)

Yesterday my boys officially turned 2 months old! I really can't belive how big they are getting. They are more awake now, which explains why I haven't had time to blog lately. They take fewer naps - and NEVER at the same time - well actually I think they took a nap together once.
Andrew continues to be calm and easy going - just like his daddy.
(Although, right now, he has started launching his pacifier out of his mouth and crying until I go put it back in...)
Andrew has practiced sitting up a little bit (Dad's idea of course).

Luke likes the swing and as you can see by the photo below, has gained a little weight especially in the cheek area. (Good eater!)
Lucas is also so much like his mother. He LOVES to be the center of attention, and has started crying until someone comes and plays with him. Below is an example of the crying phase of his newest trick - shortly after, he will be grinning at you from ear to ear. What a faker!

Here's a picture of the two month olds!
Again, this was Dad's idea - he loves bowling and makes the boys even watch it on tv!

Here's another 2 month old picture.
It really is incredible to see how much they've grown. Go here to remind you of what they looked like 1 short month ago: http://fromtwotofour.blogspot.com/2009/01/one-month-old.html
The boys have also started smiling at us, and making noises or "talking" to us. It has been so fun trying to make them smile! Here is a picture of Luke grinning for the camera. Dad was making him laugh - look at those dimples!!

And this is Andrew's smile - ok, so it's not that smiley, but this is the face he makes when he's happy! He sticks his tongue out at us. He really only smiles right when he's about to fall asleep. He doesn't think we're really that funny yet.

We also got some exciting news today! My cousin, Erica (finally!) had her baby boy! He was 1 week overdue, and she was not thrilled about that, but Grant decided to come last night! He was born at 1:03am and was 9lbs. 3oz, and 20 inches long! That's a big boy! Our boys were originally all due on the same day, mine came 2 months early, and hers was 1 week late, so the boys are almost exactly 2 months apart. Erica called this morning, and was feeling much better after getting that baby out! She thinks that Grant and Lucas can be on the football team together when they get older (the big fellas). Andrew might have to be the quarterback (that's a little guy, right?!)
