The boys: May edition!

Owen is 18 months now and is finally above average in the height department. He is in the 66th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight so he is tall and skinny. He is learning lots of new words and even though we may be the only people that know he is saying puppy when he says paby, we are just happy he is trying. Owen is a huge dare devil and is constantly doing things that would hurt most kids. He loves to wrestle with Blake and will jump on Blake at every chance. Everytime we change Owen's diaper he tries to escape and run around naked, this time he got away so instead of grabbing him, we grabbed the camera! This picture will come in handy when he starts dating.

Blake started baseball last week and he loves it, he is always saying "I need to play baseball." His second practice was cancelled due to weather but hopefully that will be the only cancellation. They don't have the bats and balls in yet so they just had all the kids use plastic gloves and those crazy looking rubber balls. Hopefully this week they will have everything in so he can use the real stuff. He is really getting good at saying full sentences and stating what he wants. He still has his moments where he copies Owen and just points to things but we are working hard on getting him out of that. He loves going to “school” and playing with all his friends. He is also tall and skinny in the 80th percentile for height and 42nd percentile for weight.

Every day the boys are growing and learning and we love to watch. They are typical boys who love each other one moment and then won’t stop fighting the next. We don’t know how they don’t get seriously hurt when they are constantly wrestling and trying to body slam each other. There is now an area in our house (a rug in our living room) that if you sit or lay on, they think you’re fair game to jump on!

I’m 34 weeks pregnant now and we are getting anxious for little Vinny to come! Blake says daily “the baby needs to come home” or “the baby needs to come out,” he doesn’t understand when I tell him he has to wait a few more weeks lol. Vinny is doing great, growing well with no complications. He is very active and, I think, likes to creep Anthony out by rolling all around so Anthony can see.

Since we just started this new blog up, we’ll be posting pictures in the next week of Japan since we’ve been here.
