Bubble Fun at the Doyle's

Last weekend we had a spend the night party at our friend's house Cat and Brandon.  Riley and Brody got into a little fun of their own making bubbles!



Their faces say it all!



I hope Nana and Papa are ready for us all to visit next month!

Riley changing Drew's Diaper

Man, I am on a video roll!  Here is some video of Riley attempting to change Drew's diaper... this attempt went south (no pun intended ;~) in a hurry!  Mommy had to rush in to help... then Mommy had to call in the big guns for help... Me! lol

Drew is Crawling

It started this morning... it's not much, really only a few tiny "steps" but this morning around 6:30am he started putting it all together... Erin talked me into running down and grabbing the video camera. He was already tired and ready for a nap by the time I got it rolling, but I was able to capture a tiny snipit.

Zoo Atlanta

We decided to utilize our season passes to the zoo yesterday. If you've never been, Zoo Atlanta is really a great place for kids and family to go on the weekends. They have a whole section geared just for kids called the Children's Zoo. Riley and Drew both did great during our trip out... believe it or not, Riley was asking to go home after only an hour. I'll add pictures in the next day or two, but here is a short video in the meantime.

Drew's first trip in the wagon...

Riley has loved it since Grandma got it for her last year, but a few days ago Drew took his first trip around the block in the wagon... check it out!

Drew Sat Up!

Drew sat up on his own for the first time this morning... well, that is not entirely true... Erin said he did it in the bed last night, but I'm not counting that one since the platform was concave giving him an unfair advantage, plus Daddy wasn't there to witness! ;)  He is still a few weeks behind Riley's schedule of sitting up and crawling, but Erin keeps reminding me that they all develop differently.  Actually, I thought he was going to start crawling a week and half ago as he was up on all fours doing a rocking motion. 

Also, Riley's bed came in last week.  She is absolutely in love with her bed!  I like it too as it is much more comfortable to lay in the bed reading books at night, than it was for me to lay in the crib... Pics of the new bed coming soon!

X-Sanity - My New Blog

I'm doing a new blog tracking my progress as I go through a 90 day workout plan.  I've taken the best of P90X and the best of a ridiculously hard cardio program called Insanity and I've combined them into one program.

Spring Time in January!

This past weekend was awesome!  We had temperatures up in the low 70s and it felt great!  Erin and I got the kids out to Clinton Park on both Saturday and Sunday.  On Saturday, we found an easy walking trail... On Sunday, I found one bit more moderate... let's put it this way, there were several occasions that I had to help pick up the stroller to cover the terrain.  Drew slept through it all, as he was still fighting a nasty cold this weekend.  Here are some shots from the weekend.

Here is Drew's first adventure with an orange. 






He has been in the Jumper before, but this weekend he really figured out to work it!  He was jumping high and laughing the whole time... after a while he fell asleep, woke back up and jumped some more, then fell asleep again.





We played out on the deck some too... .seriously, the weather was crazy awesome and we couldn't get enough of it!





At one point Mommy pulled out the baby carrier to put Drew in... but little Miss Riley had other plans.  For the record, yes we know her boots are on the wrong feet, but she is the one who put them one. :)




Here are some shots from the trails that we found.
