Grandma & Papa

This week Grandma and Papa came from Minnesota to visit us. It was so good to see them. They had not seen us since Thanksgiving, so we had a lot to show them. We've learned how to do a lot since then. They only got to stay for 4 days and it went by really fast! We were sad to see them go. We can't wait until we see them again!

Snugglin' with Papa

It was nice and sunny when they were here. We had a great time looking out the window.




WATCH THIS!
Grandma took a lot of pictures while she was here. :)

Papa playing with us on the floor.

Wearing our sweatshirts like Daddy

Getting ready for church...not sure why we look so scared. :)

Mommy cooked spaghetti for our Valentine's Day dinner.

Showing Grandma our carseats

Chewin' on my toes




Grandma and Papa rented a van so we could all go in one car when we went somewhere. Grandma and Mommy sat in the back so we could see them. It was weird.

Reading with Grandma

We love you, Grandma and Papa. Thanks for the fun weekend! We can't wait to see you next time.

Pulling Up

I decided it was time for me to start pulling up. Caleb has been doing it for a while but I was happy with just sitting and crawling. But I love to stand up and now Mommy and Daddy don't have to help me....well, they still have to help me get down but I'll get the hang of that eventually.
Check out this video of my big moment (not exactly the first time, but almost).

Mommy just had to post this picture even though I have a funny look on my face. I do love my puffs, but this is embarrassing.

These next 2 pictures we stole from Mimi. Sorry, Mimi.
We spent the night with Mimi and Popi for the first time this week. We were such good boys. We slept the whole night, ate all our food, and took a good nap. Mommy and Daddy were so proud. We had a good time, but were glad to see them.

I've gotten 2 new teeth! My top ones popped in about a week ago. This time was a lot less dramatic than the first time. I didn't lose much sleep (and neither did Mommy).

Laughing

One of the sweetest sounds in the wide world. :)

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Mommy turned 30 last week. Happy Birthday, Mommy! This was before Daddy took her to Olive Garden, her favorite restaurant.

We have a backyard made for exploring, but Mommy says it's too cold right now. We can't wait until spring! I was checking things out, and looking for that crazy squirrel.

Ready for church


We can hold our own bottles now. Mommy thought she had told everyone this, but Mimi let her know that she did not. So here are a few pictures.


These are our new Vikings shirts. Aren't they cool?


This is what TROUBLE looks like. :)

Playing Together

Mommy is trying something new with our videos. She can't seem to get them to load on the blogger website, so she has put a video on youTube so everyone can see it. We are learning to play together. Sometimes I (Jack) thinks it tickles when Caleb climbs on top of me and sometimes it makes me mad. Let Mommy know if the video works!

Foldin' Laundry

Today we helped Mommy fold laundry. She really needed help getting caught up.


Then we went exploring!

Mommy Was Afraid Of This

I've been pulling up on everything lately, but I hadn't thought about pulling up in my crib. Mommy was glad because she thinks that it will make nap time and bed time harder. Today she thought I was taking a nap. When she went to check on me, I was standing up! I'm big stuff now.
