Enjoying some family time

We went to Dismal Swamp State Park last weekend to enjoy the decent weather. Joey got to ride his bike. He's got us convinced that when he's done with training wheels, he gets a new bike--with dinosaurs on it. But he won't let Earl take these training wheels off so he can practice.

He had to stop and pick up this stick.

My happy baby.

Yup. ^ That's my boy.

Joey's showing us one of his TaeKwonDo positions ^

^ Position #3.

I honestly have tried a few times to keep Tanner's hair down, like a normal baby. But you should see it. It's ridiculous looking. It stands up on it's own in the back and in the front, and the middle lays down to the side. I can't have him going around looking like that. Ha ha.

The boys get along so well at home. Joey still loves playing with Tanner, especially now that Tanner's getting bigger and can interact better.

Tanner was trying to put the harmonica in Joey's mouth so he'd play some more.

Helping with the dishes. He got up there by himself.

Tanner's favorite toys to play with is cars. He loves crawling on his knees pushing them around. Joey didn't have any interest in doing that at this age. Joey was obsessed with balls back then. It's so fun watching how different Tanner is than Joey and how similiar (can we say climbing monkeys!?)

Tanner still isn't sleeping through the night. In fact, it's gotten much worse. He used to go 4 or 5 hours at least, but now he won't sleep longer than 1 1/2 or 2 hours at a time. He started that when he started teething, but now that the tooth broke, he is still in that habit and I can't break him no matter what I try. It's difficult, but I'm hoping once he's weaned in a couple months, he'll start sleeping better.
