2 babies means crazy, but fun!

I can't believe it has already been a month and a half since James's surgery. Between two adorable kids, a house and pumping I keep pretty busy. Here are some pictures of what we have been up to!
Mariah has always loved to play with the phone, but she doesn't usually talk much. One day she pointed to the phone and said "Grandma". I asked if she wanted to call Grandma, and she said yes. So for fun we did (luckily my mom had just gotten home). Mariah chatted to her for at least 5 minutes, telling her about everything around her.



We went up to the cabin for a day with Matt and Mirriam, and Mariah's favorite thing to do was to run along the road. She'd take off and yell, "run!". It was very cute. She also collected some rocks.



This is just an adorable picture of Mariah running with her daddy. It was so nice to be up at the cabin, it was beautiful!



Mirriam came over to get a bunch of apples, and Mariah helped her pick them. She spent a good minute trying to put this apple in the bag through the bottom, but she didn't want any help!



James is in general a very happy, sweet boy. He loves to be talked to, and as long as he's not hungry or tired he'll give out smiles, coos and giggles. He loves it when Mariah talks to him.



One night at FHE while the adults were playing a game, Mariah and Krista helped themselves to the donuts that were left on the counter. Between the chocolate on her face and the hat crammed on her head we thought she made quite the cute hobo.



James's newest trick the last couple of days has been trying to roll over. He has gotten quite close, but he hasn't made it all the way over yet. I'm sure it won't be long!



Very cute picture of James and Grandma Y playing together after Sunday dinner.




James and his great-grandma Shepherd. He had been cranking and fussing at me, but as soon as Grandma took him he went right to sleep. Such a sweetie!



Mariah's favorite game right now is "Ring Around the Rosie". She will play over and over and over again if you can handle it! Here she's asking Chris to play again, and you can see the circle they have stomped down.



Mariah giving our snowman a hug. This was Mariah's first time to really play in the snow. We went out a couple of times last year, but she didn't really get it and didn't like being wet. She thought it was awesome this year!
