Adrian & Isaac's First Easter April 2010

We had a great Easter with family. Isaac and Adrian stayed with Grandma Oleva all day Saturday and spent the night. They are quite popular. Everyone swarms to her house when they are there. Aunt Tonya and Palmer visited, Grandpa Ron, Aunt Carla. They are not lacking attention.

They got up earlier than usual to go to Easter sunrise church services with Grandma Oleva, Grandpa Dave and his entire family. We had lunch at Grandma and Grandpa Briggs' house and an evening meal at Grandma Oleva's. We put together Easter baskets for the boys - just so we could take pictures of them with the baskets. They got lots of toys from Aunt Tonya, Aunt Carla and Grandpa Ron. Grandma Oleva gave them candy. Go figure. Next year will be so much fun. They will be old enough that the Easter Bunny will come for a visit.

I must sound like a broken record when I continually post that the boys are changing constantly. They will be 5 months old next week. I can't believe it. They are both eating cereal now. We are going to add vegetables this week. They still sleep together in the same crib. It is so sweet the way they snuggle up together when sleeping. Lately they have been sleeping nose to nose. They go to be between 7:30 and 8:00 every night and sleep at least 10 hours. I am such a lucky mommy.

They are starting to notice that the other one is there during play time. Isaac likes to put his hand on Adrian's head. From time to time they turn and stare at each other. Adrian just started kicking his legs a lot more during the past week. It makes him so happy to kick. He can keep up with Isaac now. I think they are training for a 5K. They sure burn the calories when they kick. Isaac is very close to sitting up on his own and from time to time he acts like he wants to hold his bottle.

Adrian continues to roll over. He rolled from his tummy to his back for the first time today. He usually only rolls from back to tummy. I think he will crawl first and Isaac will walk first. Isaac appears to have no interest in rolling over. They love books and music.

Isaac's reddish hair is falling out and he is slowly starting to get new hair. It is either dark blond or brown. It is hard to tell. Adrian continues to get more hair - it is dark brown. It has been so cute to see his eyebrows get darker and darker. Isaac has bright blue eyes and Adrian's are hazel/grey. From a distance and in a lot of his pictures, Adrian's eyes look brown, but he has his Papa's eyes. At any rate, they both have gorgeous eyes.

I think Adrian looks a lot like his Papa (Dave). I have just recently heard from several people, that they think he looks like me. Sometimes I feel like I took a time machine back twenty years when I look at Isaac. He is so much like his Uncle Jeffy was at the same age (that is the twins' nickname for my brother, Jeff). Isaac talks and giggles like Jeff did. He also kicks and smiles like him. It gives me a daily case of deja vu. I think Isaac's Uncle Jeffy is proud.

Thanks for reading. More adventures to come.
