2 1/2 years and 1/2 a year

I thought it was about time to do an update on the boys:

CHASE

• Talks all day long. Literally never ever stops talking. And I LOVE it. 
• Is doing so much better with eating these days. This past month has been a champ at trying new things and he'll eat whatever we are eating for dinner, including fruits and some vegetables. We are so pleased.
• After we put him to bed at night he hauls about 10 books into his bed with him and sits there are reads to himself until he falls asleep. It's darling.
• Loves Little Einsteins, Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
• Can swim (short distances) totally on his own! He (weirdly) loves having his face under the water.

HUDSON

• At his 6 month well check weighed in at 17.5 pounds (58th percentile) and 27 inches (80th percentile). He's slowed down in weight gain, but compared to Chase who was on the 2nd percentile at this point, he still seems big.
• So far has tried butternut squash, oatmeal, green beans, bananas, applesauce, peas and peaches. He has liked everything but the green beans, which for some reason Chase is fascinated with.
• We did what I said I would never do and had him cry-it-out (which his doctor recommended) and after the first night he's been an awesome sleeper and slept through the night!
• Still can't quite sit up, but he's really close! He is squirming all over the place and is starting to show the beginnings of starting to crawl.
• Is still just a delight all the time and brings so much sunshine and happiness to our home.

Christmas jammies in the middle of the summer- why not?

Chase has actually just been wearing his ever since Christmas,

and Hudson's were Chase's and are only one of two pairs of jammies

that fit Huds right now.

Or they are just really excited for Christmas this year. It's one of the two.
