And the ordinary stuff continues...

They love their little brother and both really like to hold him (even Ben, as of late). Ben talks to Andy in a high pitched baby voice that makes me laugh and calls him "Andster". Whenever Nattie wants to hold Andy she says what sounds like "toon" and I have no idea why. :) I have discovered that this is, perhaps, the only time during the day when she sits still, so I'm all for it.

Ben can read! He is doing a GREAT job sounding out words and has been showing more of an interest in reading lately. We have a LeapFrog video and book set that he is practicing with. It is so fun to watch him get excited when he figures out a word!

I don't have any idea why these two would be interested in taking pictures?? I gave them my old camera this week and it's been a hit. Nattie walks around saying "cheese" to everyone and Ben takes pretend pictures of Nattie and says things like "Oh, what a great photo!" (Jenny, when I read your blog post about Emma and her love for the camera I realized we must both be a little picture happy!)

This is what my almost 7 week old was doing this morning at 7 am...even after I had to WAKE him from his slumber so we could take Daddy to the hospital. He slept through the night for the very first time last night (total fluke...I'm sure!). Mike had a minor surgery done on his wrist this morning (to remove a cyst).

I'm sure I will get yelled at for putting this picture on the blog, but the blue surgical hat thing made me laugh...a lot. The surgery went well and hopefully he'll be using his arm again soon!

Finally, because I love their faces...here they are again, my kids.
