Lachlan "talks", but Bennett says it best...

Lachlan pretty much "talks" like this throughout dinner. Turn down your speakers some. You've been warned.

Playdate at the Park

These are Bennett's running buddies from the neighborhood. We trade off babysitting with the the little girl, Harper's family.

Deja Vu

I didn't save very many onesies from Bennett because I was adamant that I was going to have a girl the second time. LOL! We tried to recreate the pic of Bennett with Lachlan, but unfortunately, per Arty "Lachlan is a lot more wobbly!"

Soccer Practice

Bennett is loving soccer. He got a huge scrape on his knee this past practice (you can see him inspecting it in one of the pics), so there has been a lot of DRAMA, but then again, he is probably copying mom and dad with their broken foot/hurt back episodes of late. Today he enjoyed showing off the scrape to anyone who would listen.

Compare!

I've been wanting to do a side-by-side comparison to see how much the boys look alike. These were both taken at around the same age...you can definitely tell they are brothers!

3 1/2 Years & 4 Months

According to Chuck E. Cheese (who sent me coupons to mark the occasion), Bennett is 3 1/2 this month. He is tall for his age and has quickly outgrown all his 3T pants that I swear just last week were falling off of him. His 4T pants are pretty baggy, but he definitely needs the extra length. His teachers say he is doing exceptionally well in school and loves to learn. He surprises us everyday with the things he tells us, some hilarious, some not so funny (like when he huffs and gives us the attitude of a 13-yr old). Right now he is into all things Star Wars. Recently, my dad asked him, "so Bennett, what do you want to be when you grow up?," and without missing a beat, Bennett replied nonchalantly, "a jedi." He then went on to explain that jedis defend themselves against the dark side. You can thank his father for this obsession.

As for Lachlan, he just turned 4 months old. Today was his well-baby check-up and he weighed 14 lbs, 11.5 oz and was 25 1/4 in. long, which is about 50th percentile (down from 75th). He's smaller than Bennett was at this age (he was in the 95th percentile), but he also doesn't eat all.the.time like Bennett did. The pediatrician kept telling me that he seemed like a very smart baby (because he drooled a lot and is too busy to sleep--yes, our ped is a little odd). Most of the time, he is pretty happy, but he definitely has us tied around his little finger. But in our defense, look at that smile!

1st Soccer Game

Today was Bennett's first soccer game. He scored two goals and played through an injury (foot to the nose) and the freezing cold. Enjoy:}

Videos!!!!!!

Okay, some of these are very old. Uploading to YouTube use to take forever, so I would dread it. Well, I just learned how to upload multiple videos at once, so no more excuses for me. Enjoy:)

First, a short clip of Bennett's first soccer game

Second, is Lachlan being cute (4 months old)

Third, is Bennett singing Hit the Road Jack and the ABC song


Then there is this cute video of the brothers
