20 Months?!

I can't believe the boys are already 20 months old!  I have switched over to telling people that they are 'almost 2', and I can hardly believe it when it comes out of my mouth (and most people don't believe me b/c they are still miniature)!  Overall they are doing great, and we are enjoying all the new things going on.  Here are some pics and highlights of what the boys are up to:


Jordan:
     His new favorite position - chillin' with Daddy. (He started this completely on his own, and whenever Eric is on the couch watching sports, Jordan goes right next to him with his hands behind his head.. so sillly & cute!)
     Loves to eat anything - very well behaved at the table
     Laughs like crazy mostly at Landon, Aspen and Daddy.  Tends to lose it when being tickled!
     Loves being held by mommy after nap.  Likes to lay his head down and cuddle still - I hope this NEVER ends!
      Gives kisses and hugs
      Says "puh, puh, puh" for please
      Loves Baby Einstein still, and will sit still and watch as long as we let him
      Very kind to his brother, and not too bad with sharing
      Knows what a cow, lion, elephant and snake say


Landon:
    This is a typical Landon face.  He likes to be held and get his way, and lets you know when he wants/needs something.
     Still obsessed with his lovie.  Would carry it around all day if he was allowed
     Loves independant play time, and requests it by standing by the stairs each morning at 9:00 AM
     Sleeps very well for 2 naps still and at least 12 hours - started using a pillow pet after Christmas
     Has almost all his bottom teeth.  Doesn't mind showing you them.
     Knows all the same animals as Jordan and where most of his body parts are.
     Tries to 'quack' by blinking his eyes and moving his mouth (but nothing comes out)
     Fearless - will go down big slides and climb up almost anything
     Totally a mama's boy - hope this never ends!!

Purcell Visit January 2012

We had an amazing visit with all the Purcell's last week to celebrate dad's 60th birthday!  Everyone came to PA including Uncle Joel, and we had a great time together!  We usually go to Hilton Head, but this year, we decided to change it up a little.  We cooked, went out to eat, spent some time at the Y pool and everyone had almost as much fun as we would've had in S.C.  Drew and Keri took a lot of videos, so we don't have as many pictures, but below are some snippets of the fun that was had!

Uncle Joel bought the boys swords... they used them wisely

Christmas Celebration

We had a wonderful 2nd Christmas with our little family, and I wanted to share a couple pictures.  We went to Christmas Eve Eve service on Friday night with Nana and Grandpa at our church.   Then on Christmas Eve, we got to celebrate with Holly and Georgia and their families in Coatsville.  On Christmas morning, we woke up, made breakfast and then opened presents as a family.  Then Nana, Grandpa, Uncle Adam, Aunt Lyndsay and their exchange student, Xinhao came over for lunch and to exchange gifts.  We had a fun day that ended with tearing down our dead tree.  We are so thankful to have family close by, and we really enjoyed this Christmas so much!!
