Thanksgiving Achievements

This blog post is a continuation of our Thansgiving festivities. We had a couple big achievements over the break. First, Jake crawled up stairs! We don't have stairs in our little apartment, so Jake had never really had the opportunity to practice, but lo and behold, if Jake sees something that he wants he won't let a couple of stairs get in his way. The second big achievement is that Joseph won his first game of "Risk." Apparently it was the first time that he had ever played, and he was was what he termed the "dark horse." And, yes, that is our laundry in the background. I obviously wasn't the one taking this picture because I would have shoved it out of the way before I had him pose. My brother took this picture, go figure. The third achievement was that Jake and Isaac had a photo-op. You may not think of this as much of an achievement, but you weren't there, and believe me, it was. Actually, let me rephrase that. It was a big achievement that JAKE had a photo-op. Isaac is quite possibly the most perfect, mellow, cuddly baby in the entire world. Jake is quite possibly the most excitable baby in the entire world, but mellow he is not.

This picture was taken to show the size similarities between the two babies. Keep in mind that Jake is 8 1/2 months old. Isaac is 2 1/2 months old. Sorry about my foot in the picture, I did the best I could...

These two boys are essentially the same size. And let's remember that Jake was a big baby, weighing in at 9 lbs. when he was born. He hasn't shrunk. Isaac is a beast.

Jake and Isaac posed with Grandma and great-grandma (who celebrated her 80th birthday the day after Thanksgiving).

Thanks Grandma for these cute outfits for the boys!

We hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and we look forward to more fun this wonderful holiday season!!
