Summertime!

Hi everyone,
We have been off our blog for a while adjusting to out move to CA. So much has been going on and we have had so many new things happen with our family. Steven has been settling in to his new job and is having a wonderful time. He is learning so much and really enjoys the work that he is doing. It is nice to be back around family, but we still miss our friends in Denver. Our family has been adjusting well to the move. I'll tell you in another post how our move went to CA.

Here are some updates with the boys.

Steven is the same investigative child who has to see how every little thing works. He can take his sandals off by himself and put them away in his shoe box. He is so loving to his brother Nathaniel. He goes up and gives Nathaniel hugs and kisses and when he is crying will bring him toys or babble at him. It seems like he is saying "what's that," but we can't be for sure. He can climb up stairs and go down them now. When he gets up from his nap he hands me his puppy dog (stuffed of course) and his pacifier and is ready to be on the move. He loves being outside and really had a great time this weekend with his cousin Kolten. Steven loves to talk on the phone (whether it is a remote or an actual phone it doesn't matter). He loves to eat popcorn, and likes to have his own water cup with a straw. He is understanding so much more each day, so it definitely makes things easier. We have noticed though that he is a very independent child. He had such an easy time going into nursery for the first time at our new ward and loves to be in there with the other children. He just falls asleep after we come home from church.

Nathaniel is an amazing child. It seemed like we just moved but really it has been about 6 weeks now. Right before we moved he started rolling over really well. About 2 weeks later he could get up on all fours. Just last week he started scooting himself around and then on Sunday he started full out crawling. He can go get his toys now. He thinks so hard about his movement and before you know it he is where he wants to be. He gabs away and is the happiest baby. He also is eating very well and has tried a whole bunch of new foods. He really like sweet potatos, squash, bananas and cheerios. He has started grabbing towards things to pull himself up. This is such a fun time. They laugh and giggle and respond to you but it is before they can get into anything. The boys are so great together. They were supposed to come together when they did.
