April

Spring seems to finally be peeking around the corner! We started the month with a beautiful Easter that I posted about already. Simon is very excited that the weather has been nicer these past few weeks and has been having a lot of fun outside. He is really into lawn mowers at the moment and we watched a neighbor mow his lawn for a while this past week. We were on our way to the toy store anyway, and on the way there he told me that we were going to buy a lawnmower. I crossed my fingers they would have something that he would accept, and thankfully, he has a great imagination. He has spent a lot of time since mowing the lawn and also changing out the pretend batteries in his "lawnmower":

While more sun is a wonderful thing, it also means it's a little tougher getting Simon to believe it's bedtime. He gets a little silly at night sometimes:





But once he calms down, he's awfully sweet and loves to read his favorite books:

Nate is taking some big steps...he is learning to sit up in his seat and play in his jumper and has started the "put everything in his mouth" phase:

We started solids with him today- we gave him some applesauce and he loved it! Here's an adorable picture and a video of him in action.

Nate isn't the only one learning new food tricks. I taught Simon the old "See Food" joke:




Finally, spring means new, cute summer clothes. We had a particularly warm day and I dressed Nate in overalls, so of course Simon wanted to wear some too. Luckily, I bought him a pair at a recent local consignment sale, and we got some adorable pictures of the Osh Kosh brothers:

So that's it for April! Bye for now!
