Being Big Boys is just a Walk in the Park

Today the weather was nice here. We walked up to the park and let the boys play. (Brian and I got in a little exercise pushing the stroller to the park and back -- Brian is off this week and we are enjoying our play time as a family!) Ethan loves the swings and laughs the whole time. We have hit another cool milestone with Ethan -- he ate an entire meal of "real" food (the kind that we eat). He had homemade mac and cheese, canned carrots and fresh blueberries. You could tell he enjoyed eating what his big brother was eating.

Benjamin seems to be getting bigger and bigger each day. Brian told me this morning that he can see Benjamin getting bigger each day. I believe him!

Tonight was a big night for Benjamin. We turned his crib into a big boy bed. We took the rail off and gave him a pillow and blanket. (You will notice in past posts, Benjamin has never had a blanket and pillow.) We are fast approaching his 2nd birthday and we are going to being potty training soon. Since Brian and I are off this week together it seemed like a great time to let Benjamin try out his new nest! Here is our little bird testing out his new nest. As of this moment, we have had no issues and Benjamin is sound asleep. I hope the rest of the night is just as smooth.
