Tell Us Hunter...

...how do you feel about Old MacDonald's Farm?

I wish I could zoom it in a little bit, but he was shaking his head "no" for the entire song. Either it was his version of dancing, or he is not a fan of Old MacDonald.

10 Month Brawl

Remember when my sweet little boys would sit still with a homemade sign that displayed their current age?
What happened?!?!?! I'll tell you what happened...they became mobile. This was the best picture I got.

Then I became worried that they would fall off of the couch (even with Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa watching them), so we moved to the floor.

So this is what became of my 10 month photo session. Paper, we don't need no stinking paper. Is that paper in Hunter's mouth...I'm really not sure.

Yep, so much for the paper, Heath has decided he wants it. So, while Hunter pauses to give a smile for the camera, Heath swoops in and grabs it.

...and there is Hunter with the "arm block and shove."

...but it's Heath who came up with the paper. I think at this point, the paper got taken away.

However, Hunter doesn't give up so easily. How about a little hair pull.

Yep, my sweet lil 10 month olds have become super mobile and are not giving me one moment of peace. They both crawl in opposite directions as fast as possible, which means that I can run like Flash from the Incredibles.

They are so much fun. They are really starting to interact with one another. Sometimes it's not always a good thing ( as you can see), but other times it is so incredibly sweet. They will sit and look at the same book or laugh at each other or just smile.

Heath still won't touch any food that is wet or squishy, but he did get a tooth today, so maybe that will change soon. Then again...maybe not. Hunter will eat anything that I put in front of him. They are both just perfect and so much fun.

Love them!

We love football!

Posing with our football heroes.

#1 (holding Heath) is a boy that the other students call "Critter," I'm not sure what his real name is. #2 (holding Hunter) is Dakota Green. I did get permission from them both to put the pictures on my blog (in case you were wondering). Both of these boys are awesome Brave football players. They get a lot of playing time and are main point scorers for the team. It makes the games really exciting when Heath and Hunter are wearing the same number as the boy who just scored the touchdown. Maybe it's just me?!?!

Thank you both for sticking around after the pep rally to pose with my future Braves.
Dakota is also my new secretary's son, so we made him stick around a little longer for more pictures. I think you can tell by the smile on his face that it was pure torture.

Fiddlesticks Farms and Mimi's Birthday

First things first...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMI!
This year, for Mimi's birthday, we went to Fiddlesticks Farms with the rest of the family. We went last year, but we didn't get to see much because we were still in Mommy's tummy.

Here is a picture of us this year. We had so much fun sitting in the dirt at the pumpkin patch. Mommy doesn't let us play in the dirt very often, so it was pretty cool.

Here we are riding on the hay ride. We had a much better seat than most of the other passengers.

Playing on the hay ride waiting to go back from the pumpkin patch.Our kind Papa pushed us through the corn maze. The path got a little narrow at times, but he push on. We reached out at grabbed some of the foliage. Momma had to pry it out of our hands and mouth

Here is the young birthday girl coming down the slide. Momma didn't let us try that out, maybe next year.

This is the new part this year, it's called Mining for Gold. Our cousins loved it.

We got to ride in the cattle train. Heath rode with Mimi....

...and Hunter rode with Momma.

It's a regular loony farm around here!

How tall this fall???

Question ---

We've been trying this solid food thing for a while now. Hunter seems to have it down. He will eat anything I put in front of him, and if he is close enough, he will glean his brother's tray, too. Yes, he tends to get it all over him, but isn't that what they are supposed to look like when they are finished feeding themselves?
His brother, Heath, on the other hand, WILL NOT touch anything we put on his tray. He will eat Puffs and Cheerios, so I know he is capable of feeding himself. However, he won't even touch the carrots, peas, potatoes, apples, bananas, or anything else I try. He just screams. I have tried the foods, cold/warm/hot, small bites, large bites, and everything in between. I even dried the peas with a paper towel, thinking that he doesn't like any thing wet. The bazaar thing is that he will eat the baby food versions of all of these foods, but not the finger foods. If I put it in his mouth for him he spits it out and screams. He just touched a banana with his finger and started gagging. I really think he has a dislike for the squishy texture...Daddy says that he is going to have a hard time baiting his hook when he gets older.

So my question is...how do I get the child to feed himself? Daddy says that we are not going to puree his food and continue feeding him through high school, so what do I do? They are 9 and 1/2 months old, shouldn't he at least be trying to play with these foods?

Why Mommy Has Bags Under Her Eyes

I tried...I mean I really tried to get them to lay down and take a nap today. They had other plans. Sorry the video is dark, I am hiding behind the door filming. Be sure to notice the lullaby music playing in the background, I think it gives it a nice touch.

By the way, they are not crying, they are "talking" and laughing at each other.
