Updates

Lots going on with the boys these days...

Miles has mastered the art of rolling over this week!  He'd been rolling from his back to his tummy (rolling to the right side) every so often for the past month, but now he can roll over quite fast when he wants to.  In fact sometimes he does it so fast the momentum keeps him rolling and he'll end up on his back again.  It seems like he has just grown like a weed lately.  He's so long.  And still just a cuddler and charmer.  Such a sweet and good little baby.  He's sleeping like a pro and still takes 2 good naps (usually 2 hours each) and then at night he goes to bed around 6pm and sleeps until between 3-4am and then nurses and sleeps until around 7:30.  He loves to make noises with his tongue...it's really funny.  And he smiles every time he sees himself in the mirror.

Max is talking up a storm.  This week he said, "Ready...set...GO!".  Brad and I say this often when we are playing with him, but have never heard him say all of it...so it was really funny when he said it.  It's funny because it seems like every night when Papa and I are starting to drift off to sleep...one of us will tell the other a funny story of something Maxwell said or did that day.  What a boy he is...he just LOVES any mode of transportation.  In fact, for Easter I got him these plastic Easter eggs that had cars in them.  Actually, one egg had a Blues Clues bus, the other had a Dora the Explorer car, and another had a Diego jeep. Anyways, he plays with this bus EVERY day and asks for it every time he goes down for a nap or to bed now.  Which is pretty cute...but it makes it quite the game to find this sticking bus before night nights every day!  We've started to get smart and try to keep an eye on it and snatch it as soon as he puts it down and then we'll go put it in his crib before he misplaces it.  The little boy that used to hate to sit in his car seat now loves to go for rides in the car and he will point out every truck, bus, car, etc that he sees.  He's gotten to be my little narrator on the rode.  He is very much a Bellows...and quite passionate about whatever he wants for the moment and every much the toddler to let us know when he is angry.  I'm just waiting for a Target meltdown, of which I'm sure will happen any day now.  You know the scene...the toddler screaming about something in the middle of the isle all while the embarassed mama is rushing to get him out the door.  :)

Mike has finished his 1st week of training at the store and happy to be making some money.  He won't get his first paycheck until next week, but he's getting his cut of tips for his shifts.  Other than that...this week he's been to 2 parties and enjoying his time off of school...although he's already complaining about being bored and sick of being in the house.  He's been a great help with the kids and Max loves having him home.  Mike usually will give me a break and will take Max down the basement to play and have a snack and I just hear Max whopping it up down there with him.

We've been taking a lot of little videos...I need to get them uploaded and get some on youtube soon.  Look for some in the near future!
