They Grow Up So Fast

by Meghan on November 14, 2008

Remember the other day…I said I was going to share video of the boys, but couldn’t because my computer power cord died and the battery was running low and blah, blah, blah and you were all “OH NOES!  How could we possibly survive without you for a few days, let alone without being able to see boring ridiculous videos of your adorable children?!”

Well, have no fear, dear readers.  My replacement power cord has arrived and I’m prepared to overload you with videos.  You don’t need to thank me.  And while some of you had the audacity to disagree that they’re the world’s cutest children occassionally, I’m pretty sure you were just covering your tracks on the off chance that one day your children will find my blog and you simply don’t want them to know the truth.  I totally get it.  Your secret is safe with me…

So, the big news around here is that Zach is walking.  Just in the past week or so, he’s mastered the art and is a walking fool.  It’s preshus.

This is what it looked like a week and a half ago:

And this is what it looks like now:

He can even step over stuff AND carry his cup! Isn’t he ridiculously talented?

He’s also quite a talented dancer. And seeing as Dylan has been working on honing his singing skills, they make quite a pair:

Now, Dylan singing around US is not a big deal, but he’s always been pretty shy and has refused to sing around other people. Until recently. Lately, he’s been singing EVERYWHERE, including at Home Depot where he stood on the front of the cart and sang to everyone who walked by. According to his teacher he’s also finally started singing songs at school.  He’s coming out of his shell.  And, practicing his ventriloquist skills in the process:

I’m honestly in awe at how much they’ve each changed in the past few weeks.  It makes me terrified about what the next few YEARS will be like.  Oy.

*And I also realize that this post is really geared to people who know me in real life.  SO, for the rest of you, I’ll give you a sneak peek into my upcoming post:  “Hater Blogs, WTF Is Wrong With People?” Now I KNOW you’re excited.

I love babies learning to walk videos too! The sippy cup in the mouth shows great potential for his college years. I will have to come back later and watch the rest of the videos when my daughter isn’t looking over my shoulder asking one thousand million questions.

I am curious about the hater blogs. I have never come across one or heard of them. Maybe everyone hates me and I don’t even know it. :-)

Love Zach carrying his sippy cup around in his mouth. And speaking of mouths Dylan is totally rocking the ventriloquist skills. I have been looking forward to these videos for days.

We went to a wine tasting event where you could buy a thing to hang your wine glass around your neck….
randon thought that came into my head when I saw Zach with his cup.

Talk about cuties. Sometimes I just wish I could freeze time. I try to record the special moments, it just all goes by so quickly.

By any chance did we BRIBE Dylan to sing his ABCs for the camera? I don’t know you IRL and can still say I smiled all the way through all four videos.

They are *almost* as cute as my kids. And that’s really saying something considering mine are (insert Keith Oberman’s voice here)THE CUTEST KIDS…IN THE WORLD!

I don’t pull out the video camera nearly as much as I should – probably on account of the condition of my house.
