So March was a pretty busy month (as usual I guess!)--- Mason is FINALLY WALKING!!!! Right at the end of the month he finally decided that he would do it as his mode of transport...and not always resort to crawling! He seems to be enjoying it as well! ;) Whew!
The boys now are about done growing all 4 of their molars---- needless to say, this has affected their moods over the last month or so! Next come the Canines....God help us........
We officially have dropped down to one nap a day. Mason had been not napping in the PM, off and on for a while, and it was making bedtime a disaster! Noah was still taking 2 naps ok, but I didn't want them on 2 different schedules....so I just tried it--- and Noah actually seemed to adapt a bit better at 1st! They still have fussy times right around lunch, and before bed--- but that was always the case! Mason will take a 2-3 hour nap (my good sleeper; ), but Noah almost religiously wakes up at 1 hour 45 minutes. Just the way it is for now!
We have done/started a lot of fun things this month too.....here is what has been keeping us busy!
-- Going swimming at the Rec center, going to the Zoo, checking out new parks, having Playdates with new friends Liam and Nolan, seeing lots of family, started going to "Babytime" at the Library on Thursdays, playing in the backyard, and learning new things everyday!
The boys are both really trying to talk up a storm! They have lots of words now (baby words;), and can make a lot of Animal noises, etc. They really understand what you are saying, and are starting to need to be disciplined ;(
They have their typical "terrible 2" behaviors of throwing, saying "no", hitting biting, tantrums, etc....... but they are pretty good boys overall!
Early in the month we lost our very dear Grandma Doris. She adored the boys....and they adored her and going to visit her in Greeley. You will be missed Grandma Doris--- we loved you!!!
I'll let the pictures speak for the rest! Hope you all have a great spring!!

A day at the Zoo! Mason loves it and really gets into the animals-- Noah kinda just relaxes in the stroller! Although Mason got scared of the Giraffes!
We spend lots of time at different Parks!
Seriously hilarious....one with the finger in the mouth, and the other with the finger in the nose!!
When Noah wasn't feeling well.....he usually isn't a big cuddler!
With the nice weather, we've been eating on the back porch a lot!
At the end of the month, Noah really got into his puzzles--- and was able to do them!!
Noah sitting on his Potty for the 1st time!! He has really been showing some signs of Potty training....so I'm told....so I figured I'd just get it out and start putting him on it once and a while to get him used to it. We do it in the AM and at Bedtime. Mason isn't seeming too interested at all (go figure! ;) yet-- but he will sit on it sometimes, and then put his baby in it ;)
Noah likes to lift his shirt off and show off his belly a lot! Little exhibitionist!
Classic Mason.....carrying his baby and trying to get into snacks!!
Mason will stick his baby in his mouth and crawl on things (me!), or to get around so that he can hold about 3 blankets in his hands! ;)
One of his favorite things is to push around his basket of stuffed animals. However, he empties all the animals, and puts certain ones back in, with his baby of course, and then walks around "collecting" things (shoes, water bottles, snacks, etc....) to put in there!
We busted the Hammock seat back out this last weekend, and Noah is OBSESSED with it! He will sit in it and just chill out for like 45 minutes!!! (unlike Noah to "sit" anywhere!) Mason is not really liking it very much though!
Learning how to use the Air compressor with daddy!
We let the boys pretty much just explore the yard now...and not just be on the porch. They are good with the stairs now, we just need to keep an eye still to make sure they don't roll down the hill! Noah will walk down the trail and around the yard by himself now--- our little hiker!! Mason loves it too0-- they especially love to go down and see the neighbor dogs ("arff, arff!")! I still hold Mason's hand-- but he is walking really well down there too!
My little WALKER!!!
Drool and Snot.....it has been a fun time of year! ;)
We spent a weekend up in Windsor when Doris past away--- so the boys got some time with Grandma and grandpa! They helped grandma make Mashed potatoes, and ate a whole bowl of them!! Mason really actually helped....he had to stir them, etc!
Noah learned how to get out the Doggie door.......uh-oh.
Classic Mason "offended/confused" face!
My friend Angela came up with their son Jax--- who is about 6 months younger than the boys-- and they played! Mason and Jax shared snacks....Noah was a bit too busy to eat pretty quickly!
Drinking out of Big Boy cups at restaurants now! (TnT Kitchen, Morrison)
Anthony puts his computer on this photobooth camera...and the boys sit on his lap and take funny pictures! It is SOOOO cute!
Noah got his 1st official Haircut!! We took him to Floyds-- so he was really cool ;) He did pretty good! got restless at the end-- but did well!
My new Haircut!! don't I look cute!!?
Mason loves "dipping" things!
There it is.....baby to the face, and thumb in the mouth!
