Due

Today is the boys' Due Birthday! (heh, I made up a new term) Now we can say that they are officially one year old adjusted! (you wouldn't believe how tricky that little question of, "How old are they?" can be)

It still blows my mind that this is the day that they were due, but they were born in October!

Now for another round of then and now...
Shawn - Then (January 17, 2008)


And Now (January 16, 2009)

Jason - Then (January 17, 2008)

And Now (January 16, 2009)


Then (January 17, 2008)


And Now (January 16, 2009)


Happy Due Birthday, Boys!

Look Who's Talking....

At only 11.5 months adjusted!

Both boys are actually saying words now. Both can say hi, mama, and dada. Jason says kitty. (Shawn said kitty once yesterday, too, but it isn't regular.) Jason can say bye. Shawn says hi. Shawn says hi dada when he sees Isaac. Jason calls for me when Isaac is doing something to him that he doesn't want done (like wiping his nose).

It is the neatest thing!

I think next should be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for the wow factor, but we may be a long way off from that! hehe :-)

Look-Alike Meter - Finally the Truth Is Out!

I found this fun site, which is supposed to tell you which parent a child looks like. For best results, it tells you use a frontal, straight on picture of each person. Sadly, pickings of that type of picture are slim for the adults in the family, so the picture of us is from 2 or 3 years ago. Oh well--we still look like that!

So what were the results?

(I used another picture of Shawn and Jason the other night and it said that Shawn looked 8% more like me and Jason looked 11% more like me, so I suppose the results do vary based on the picture you use.)

If you try it yourselves, I expect to see some results! Email me or something!

Story Time

Another bug has descended upon Casa Lopez, and three out the four of us (hey, Isaac, what's up with that?) are feeling yucky. Of course, it was bound to happen that I would share in the germ fest, what with all the mouth/lip grabbing and eye licking that happens around here.

The good news is that neither boy has ear infections, and although they sound pretty cloggy, they do not have anything in their lungs. Yea. So, we are back to investing in bulb suckers and tissue over here. Fun times. Let's all hope that the boys are feeling better for their first big Christmas.

Anyway, I leave you with some pictures of story time... (yep, another confirmation that they are my boys--they love reading, too!)


Shawn Bon, Shawn Bon, what do you see?

I see a brown bear looking at me!

Jason is enjoying his favorite book, Peek A Boo. It is a picture book of different babies making various expressions. Isaac swears that Jason now says, "Peek Boo" because of it. I'm not so sure that is what he's saying, but who knows.

There's something about the baby he's touching in the last picture. It shows a baby crying, and he always stops to touch that picture before moving on to the next page. (He has no interest in the baby on the opposite page who is smiling. Funny, huh?)
