Milestones and roadtrips

I know, I know, it's been a while since I've done a post. We're busy as bees here packing for the move, caring for 2 babies and 2 teenagers, working and oh yeah, playing golf (Jon).

We spent the weekend in NJ and NY. The boys were cooperative - sort of. Noah didn't much care for Komet when he barked, but Sam thought Komet was the best thing ever and giggled at every sight of him. Noah refused to nap which made for a cranky baby! Neither of them cared much for the zoo but they were very happy to see their aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and great grandma too. They especially liked walking around NYC on a Sunday morning with their Grandma taking in all the sights.

Sam has learned how to clap and to bang things together. Sam has also learned how to crawl like a frog - both legs move at the same time - but hey, it gets him where he needs to go. His favorite activity is still jumping, when he's not eating that is! Noah has learned to pull himself up to a sitting position from his stomach and can also clap.

Here are a few pictures from the trip:

Or should we call him Monkey boy?
He wants to use his feet to hold his bottle these days.
