Quick update before the big day

So the boys will turn 1 on Sunday. We have planned a busy 24 hours where we are going to get the boys baptized at our new Church on Saturday night. Then on Sunday we are doing the whole turning 1 thing. Nancy (Nana), which Keegan now can say, is taking care of almost everything for the baptism as far as the festivities after the Baptism. I recommend having your mother-in-law move close and help, if she is as amazing as Nancy.

So Keegan is officially walking. He stops, starts, has very good balance. Really he is pretty awesome. Keegan is our boy who has no fear. He is very determined and makes the cutest face where he scrunches his noise and does fish face and breathes fast in and out when he gets into his zone. It's rather funny!

Paddy, dangerous is his middle name, LOVES to climb up on everything. He can literally climb over the gate we have in the living room. Luckily he hasn't perfected it yet so he isn't super-fast at it, so we can still catch him in the act. He is not quite understanding the whole concept of gravity, I feel like that will be a lesson he learns soon. Paddy is taking a step or two but isn't totally right there with Keegan, but from what I know about these two little boys he won't let Keegan be the sole walker for long.

The boys got their first hair cut on Tuesday. We went to my hair dresser and she did a great job! Chuck after the fact thought the boys should have gone to a more manly place. ;-) Sorry dad, maybe when they are older you can take them out for haircuts and shaves.

Ok, well this one is a quick one, so next week I will fill you in on how the big 1 goes!!!

 Oh yea and these boys, like all kids I’m sure, pure entertainment!!!! 

11 months... time sure fly's when you're having fun

Wow so I'm a bit behind as I haven't posted for a full month. We had Easter at our house this year again, everyone came over and we had a nice little Easter Egg hunt. RJ, Kalista, and Austin participated, but the boys sat this year out. Next year they will be all over it I'm sure.

Paddy and Keegan are getting closer and closer to walking, but not quite there yet. They are very quick crawlers and pretty quick on their feet furniture surfing. They stand by themselves and have started to take those steps but if there is nothing close for them to grab they usually fall. We have had a few successes from one piece of furniture to the next with a full step in between. So I'm sure they will be running around in two different directions soon enough.

Paddy sleeps straight thru the night most nights, but Keegan seems to wake at least once and often twice. This was the case until last week when we put Chuck in charge of night duty. It took 3 nights and Keegan was broke of waking up. No mom, no milk, fine I'll just go back to sleep.

Chuck just put all the latches on the cupboards tonight instead of the rubber bands I was using. ;-) Chuck and I leave tomorrow for Vegas and my parents are coming to stay here with Keegan and Padraig for our first vacation without the boys. Thank you very much to Ashely, mom, dad, and of course Nancy who helps us out each week so much!

So I have a few Easter photos to share that my good friend Lisa took. She does such a wonderful job!!!

Also I will post a few videos in the next little bit. Keegan and Paddy LOVE to play peek-a-boo and let me tell you it is so cute!!!

The boys are starting to fight a bit, we have had a few biting incidents. Keegan with his 8 teeth has found a few reasons to use them. So far they seem pretty reasonable, like when Paddy is taking the bottle from his mouth and his fingers are in Keegan’s mouth. I think I would bit him too. :-) Well not now, but as a 11 month old for sure!

Love this photo
