a big milestone for connor

connor can now roll over from his belly to his back & boy, does he think it's exciting!

show us your green!

we might have a scottish last name, but my boys are IRISH!

nap-time?

it's difficult to see this because it's a video of our video monitor, but this is james 15 minutes after he went into this crib for a nap. he didn't think he was tired...

more group photos

brothers

since we were house-bound during the snow yesterday, i tried to get a nice picture of the brothers:

on sunday, we had a nice visit with grammy & got to play at the park near her house - so nice to get outside and james LOVED the slide!

connor's new activities include

snow day in derry

james did a wonderful job baking his first batch of cookies

he was so proud to see them "growing" in the oven

and he especially liked tasting the end result of his hard work

a glimpse of spring

on friday, the boys got some quality, outside time. we took a nice, long walk in the morning & played in the driveway when doug got home from work. it was wonderful to get the fresh air!

learning to use his hands

3-month-old connor is getting better & better at finding & using his hands

creative james

as we gear up for another winter storm, we're glad that james continues to be so creative with indoor activities. here he is walking on & driving cars on the road he built with blocks:
