John, Laura, Kyle, Christopher (CJ) and Alyssa Mullen

Seeing Eye to Eye

Here are the brothers, looking at each other and believe it or not, both of them are smiling. Can you believe that CJ only weighs ten pounds less than his brother? Next month is picture time for CJ (six months)....and actually Aunt Jennifer....CJ has one more studio picture than his brother. We took Kyle's at birth, three months and six months. CJ got an Easter picture and a two week picture as well. So there!

CJ is a champ at rolling over and Kyle when he wants to is doing well at peeing in the potty. (Of course he still doesn't care if he has a dirty diaper and I think only goes in the potty to humor mom and dad but progress is progress.)

CJ is in size four diapers to Kyle's size 5's. We brought out the Nemo's and Disney action heroes underwear just in case it inspired our eldest....but.....well....Kyle does everything in his own time.

Kyle now knows what the McDonald's sign looks like and points out all of them on the road. He knows that red lights mean stop and green lights mean go and is a wonderful back seat driver telling mom and dad to "be careful watch out red coming" and then as soon as the light turns green, he yells "green go" as loud as possible. Hopefully we aren't in spanish speaking neighborhoods at the time or else, he is announcing more than he thinks! :-)

Kyle is still train crazy --- loves tootle....loves thomas and everything must be "on the tracks". Mom and Dad are nuts but Kyle can't get enough! Trains trains trains.

CJ is growing as fast as possible and out of his clothes faster than I can get them out of boxes and into his closet. He bypassed 6-9 months when I wasn't looking and is rapidly growing out of 12 months and needing 18 months. That little budda belly just sticks right out of the two piece outfits.

Our boys....our little men....
