I shall name this post 'March 9th'

...Because that was Alex's birthday, and I never got around to posting pics from that day. Here are a few of the pics we took on his actual Birthday. Truly though, he was more impressed with the candle than the cake. He's more of an ice cream boy.



In comparison, here is a photo of Gabe's first Birthday.

Guess Who?

I couldn't resist taking a picture of Alex on the same toy as Gabe after glancing through past photos. Can you tell who is who?

Farm Store and Pumpkin Patch

This last weekend we decided to make a visit to our local Farm Store. I am not sure why I get the urge to visit these stores in the fall. Perhaps I'm genetically trained to collect the bounty of the harvest, or maybe I just like a good deal. We bought tomatoes, corn, apples, pears, a pumpkin, and several types of peppers and squash, all for about $20. I'll have to admit that the timing is great, because I am trying to keep up with making baby food as fast as Alex can eat it. He is quite the 'chunky monkey,' as Gabe calls him, and eats at least 4 ounces, 3 times a day. Here are some photos of our adventure.

Posting pictures for Anutie Urbanie

Because I just found out that you can't download pictures from the sidebar, here is one of my recent faves.

This is my 100th post!

Now that Alex is 3 months old, I thought that I'd dig out the pictures of Gabe at the same age. Check out Gabe's hair! I'd like to say that I planned it, but I am just not that organized these days.

Note: both pictures were taken at exactly 3 months, and they are the exact same pajamas...

Communication

First off, I apologize for the shabby quality. I apparently need to make some adjustments to my camera, but I find this video too hilarious to pass up. I really wish I knew what Alex was saying!

Smile or Gas?

You decide. Here is Alex at 4 weeks old.

For reference, here is Gabe's first true smile at about 5 weeks.

You betcha they're brothers

One's just a little plumper than the other.

Alex

Brothers

Luckily, Gabe has taken to Alex very well. He always wants to hold, hug and kiss Alex. Although we need to remind him to be gentle, he is very sweet, speaking to Alex is the high pitched voice he usually reserves for kittens and puppies. Here are some of their first moments together.
