Babies!!

We have had a huge surge of babies lately, starting with Jess and Jenn welcoming Jackson Kane Judy on February 15. Then my cousin Dave and his wife Kristi welcomed their twin girls Aubrey and Courtney Hertzog on February 16. And finally, Josh and Lina welcomed Caden Irvin Miller on February 17. Whew!!!

Aunt Kim gets to cuddle baby Caden in the hospital!!

I can't get over how big Caden's feet are!! This is my thumb, and Ryan's feet aren't even this big...
Taking advantage of the great weather earlier in the week, Evan took his tricycle for a spin.

Ryan was quite pleased with the weather too!

We're not sure what the butterfly did to deserve such a stare-down each time he gets in the exersaucer...

Evan must be part cat, as he was trying to fit into the smallest box possible.

Big boy underpants!! They lasted about all of 30 minutes...

I saw this cheerio necklace idea in Parents magazine, much like a candy necklace. So, I broke out some dental floss and cheerios and had Ev help me make one. Ev put about six cheerios on before he was bored and had mom finish it for him. Then, during the test phase, he would bite about half the cheerio, and the other half would be all soggy and either stick to his clothes or fall on the floor. All in all, good in theory, not the best in reality... Ev enjoyed the novelty of it though!! :o)

We ventured over to Towson today to visit Jack, Kate, Jess and Jenn. Since the weather wasn't too bad, we took the kiddos to the park down the road. Do you think Ryan is bundled up enough?

Evan enjoyed the swings and slides for a short stint, then turned to what he knew best -- picking up sticks. And by sticks, I mean tree branches!!
