The boys are now 6 months old - wow... we made it a half a year. Tricia and I were looking at pictures from when the boys were born and we both felt like it was years ago. Both boys are doing very well and are really starting to interact with us (a lot of smiling, cooing, and laughing). They are also now rolling over regularly and seem to really like sleeping on all sides of their bodies (back, side, tummy) - we never know in what position we will find them in the morning.
Their personalities have also emerged. Alex seems to be the quieter one and is very content most of the time. Anthony is much more social and is not happy unless he is around others or being held. It is obvious that Alex takes after Tricia and Anthony takes after me. Alex has taken a real liking to his fleece blanket and Anthony loves his stuffed monkey - these are invaluable in keeping the boys in peace.
They boys were baptized two weeks ago and we had a wonderful party for our families.
We wish everyone a terrific summer and have added a couple of new photos for you to enjoy.
