"Pampered"
One day last week Matt came home and asked if I had showered and I responded yes and that I had also blow dried my hair. His response, “I thought you looked pampered.”
Apparently the new definition of pampered in my life means I used my blow dryer! 🙂

NaBloPoMo
I had been kicking around the idea of participating NaBloPoMo again, but hadn’t decided what I was going to do. It was late last night, the first day, and I decided I wanted to, but realized that meant I would have to post, and I was too tired. Boy was I relieved when I realized Matt had posted yesterday and I was saved! I will be posting every day for the month of November, because I have so much important information to share. 😉 I only have to come up with 5 post a week in my mind since I have WW and PF and I am sure Matt will do a few posts here and there.
Get ready for some fascinating posts!

awwww… We hadn’t taken any sleeping baby pictures yet because we are so afraid of waking one or the other up, but Noah was taking a ridiculously long nap so I snapped one.
Noah figured out how to go backwards on Tow Mater, now he can get into stuff with his brother.
Petting the elephant
Ezra stuck trying to crawl over Tow Mater
Folding Laundry
Hanging out in our jammies
Their faces clearly say nap-time! We received these shirts as hand-me-downs, aren’t they cute? I promise I was going to put pants on the boys, but after wrestling with Noah for 5 minutes, who btw is way easier to dress, I gave up. Ezra picked out the flames himself.
Also, I was only able to get one pic before baby attack!
Yesterday this cat tried to attack mine through the window. It was hilarious! She kept trying and she was growling and smacking the window, giving both my guys the stink eye! (we have tried to rescue her, but she is very wild, she is the momma of the kittens I rescued last spring, my neighbor feeds her, so she hangs around, but I have never seen her attack my cats)
Baby It's Cold Outside
The temperature dropped very drastically here yesterday and we actually had to break out the boys’ warmer clothes. Matt took them for a walk last night, we put them in hoodies for the first time and also had to put a blanket over them.
Apparently the hoodies make their heads too heavy to look up at daddy!
Ezra saying, “I am going to get you!”
Got you!
Standing over his brother, yes I said STANDING! He has been working on this new trick all week and is getting very good at it.

I am going to get you!
Noah eating his first injera, he liked it!
Our week started off with lots of drool and snot!
You see that mesh thing that is pushed down? That is supposed to prevent limbs from hanging out, but Noah pushes it down during the night.
I love this machine! It spins and it spins!
Ez discovered the cat toy and he actually had the cat playing with him.
mmmmm glass!
Yes there are four sides to the table, but only this one will do.
Ez knows where are the exits are in the house and he is ready to escape!
This way?
Cute Fire Fighter. 🙂
Taffi took it upon herself to make sure none of that formula goes to waste!
This I just find funny.
Our Government at Work
The other day we received a replacement property tax notice in the mail. It explained that because the Governor and the Legislature have been unable to agree upon legislation to address funding for schools, and that the Governor vetoed the most recent funding option on September 4, 2009. This veto resulted in a change in the property tax. It was then explained that we needed to pay the difference. Care to guess what we still owe?
$.01 yes that is correct. They reprinted all of those forms and re-mailed them out to all of those property owners. I think it is safe to assume doing that was way more costly than forgetting about that penny! I am thinking of actually just mailing a penny in, I don’t really want to waste a check on it, I already have to waste a freaking stamp!
11 months!
The regularly scheduled wordless Wednesday is interrupted to celebrate 11 months of Noah and Ezra! I cannot believe in just one month they will no longer be babies and welcoming toddlerhood, well at least Ezra will, Noah might not be doing any toddling!
Ezra is now getting in to everything! He loves exploring the house and finding new things to play with. He is figuring out how to open closets, drawers, and take down baby gates. He is also practicing his balance, he is frequently letting go of things to see if he can stand.
Taking out his immobile brother
Noah loves to stand, but refuses to pull-up! I think he is now thinking about crawling, he dove out of my lap the other day into the crawling position, and now when we put him down on his belly he will scoot backwards.
They both now say momma, but only when they are upset. More than one person has heard Ezra say “Tank,” so I guess that is his official first word. Matt heard Noah say “Ezra” the other day when trying to get his brother to play with him!
Ezra now has his first tooth, I would try to get a picture of it, but it is a serious wrestling match just to let me look at it.
Noah claps all the time and I have been working on high-five with him. I’ve also been trying to teach them some baby signs, I need to be a little more consistent and I think they would catch on quickly.
They seem to be self-weaning, they will hardly take bottles during the day, I have tried to get them to drink their formula from sippy cups, but they won’t drink much that way either. The only bottles they drink regularly are before bed, the middle of the night, and their morning bottle (that one they don’t always drink.) I keep trying and they do get a decent amount throughout the day even if it is just 1 ounce at a time.
We are currently dealing with our first stuffy, snotty nose. I know we are very lucky to have made it this long without it, but the boys are driving me nuts! They are very cranky and want to be held constantly and don’t want me to hold them at the same time. It has made for a long couple of days.
Pictures, Pictures, Pictures
I spent a good portion of morning nap time fixing up the Noah and Ezra photo album and adding more pictures. There are plenty to see of their chubby cheeks, so enjoy!

I have been asked by more than one person why there aren’t more photos on the blog, well I could give you two good reasons, but instead I’ll suck it up and try to share more photos.
Noah sporting some pants
Ezra and his baby legs, yes I am fully aware they do not match, but his pants were seriously hampering his crawling
Ez discovering he can now get to stuff on the table
and share it with his brother
and later cousin Abby
hmmmm some sort of barrier?
take that stupid barrier!
drool!
Abby is fun to make a mess with!
