Sick boys

Sick boys means lots of cuddling for Mama.

Tanner's First Rice Cereal

 I've been thinking that Tanner was ready to start eating for a while but I kept putting it off because it is such a production. I decided that today was the day. He really wanted that food!

 Until he tasted it.

 I tried for the first time while Aaron was at work and Preston was the photographer.

 The second attempt with dad home went much better. I think men are definitely better at spoon feeding babies.

Mom trying again.

My adorable boys

"Take a picture of me like this!"

"And like this!"

Bathtime

One of my favorite things to see is Preston playing happily in the tub. 

He was giving his penguin a wash.

"Bear Cheeks"

The whole family got the cutest pjs from Grandma and Grandpa Carter for Christmas and I just love how Tanner looks in his.

This boy will just keep rolling until he can't roll anymore.

January 28- This is where Preston decided he wanted to take his nap. This was one of those "pick your battles" moments.

Tanner had been rolling around on the floor and then I found him laying still, just like this, watching Preston's show. This boy likes TV!

January was a great month!

Birthday Party

Today Preston went to a birthday party for his friend Cole who also lives in our complex. This was the first birthday party where Preston helped pick out the present and he was so excited to give Cole his present. He was pretty shy and stuck with me throughout the party and continually asked when it was time for presents.

They played the cutest game where they threw a ring and whatever candy it landed over was yours to keep.

 Cole, about to blow out the candles

 Preston kept trying to hand Cole his present but there were so many. Preston had to be patient.

 Showing Cole the motorcycle he picked out for him.

 He loved playing with this guitar, too.

Happy Birthday Cole!
