we have moveage!

little remi is starting to look SO much like his big brother... while cole's face has always been rounder, rem still looks a lot like him. i nabbed a photo on my phone the other day...

...they have the same expression and look almost identical! (it would be easier to see if remington hadn't been looking down)


we also want to share that remington's crawling skills have really improved over the last few days, since he first realized he could move (on the very off chance that you missed it, there's video below). he's easy to entertain- he rolls his own ball to crawl after!! (seriously- he did it intentionally several times, chuckling to himself because he thought he was such a smarty. which he is!)

photos... phinally!

here we go... photos!! now y'all can finally see how well remington is growing... he's starting to look SO much like cole did when he was small. no denying genetic relations here, hahaha. one of these days (and i'll try to do it soon), i'd like to do a photo comparison of them, just for kicks. because really, they do look so very very similar.

"hey, mom..."

daddy's hat is a favorite play-thing of sweet remington's. forget toys- that hat beats all!

kisses for cole- big kisses, the mouth-wide-open-cramming-as-much-face-into-cheek-as-possible kind of kisses. those are the best!

smiley little man! (i think he resembles his auntie sarah a little in this one. her baby pictures, i mean...)

multi-tasking: hamming it up and sucking his thumb.

mama and her boys

remington's always been our most cuddly baby- a real snuggle-bug.

checkin' things out with grandma...

... and then taking a stroll with her, too.

big development: on friday (the 20th), remington finally started to crawl!! i got some on my phone to share with kelvin because he was at work and missed it. back in wisconsin, the birth-to-three team had set a goal for him for crawling: 15 months. here he is, 13 months and finally pulling it off. he met his goal with two months to spare, and we couldn't be more proud or happy of that! he's been up on hands and knees since january, and scooting his knees forward since february- now he's finally figured out how to coordinate those little hands and arms and start going places. brings to mind the dr seuss book, "oh, the places you'll go". i think i'm going to get a copy just for him :)
