Things here are continuing to go well. The boys are doing great. We have split them up at night, which has just been great. Not only are they sleeping better, but it is a lot less stressful for Jon and I since we no longer have to worry about them keeping or waking each other up. It's wonderful!! We have no idea what we are going to do when baby #3 comes, but we'll figure that out when the time comes.

Justus is still doing really well with learning new words. It's a lot of fun to teach him new words. He is even putting little phrases together, which is also good. I think he is also in the middle of a growth spurt...that or his pants are shrinking : ). I'm just hoping he stays in his 2t pants through the winter so that we don't have to go buy anymore pants. I'm looking forward to garage sales this summer to get some 3t and 4t clothes for him.

Matthias is doing well also. He is starting to put more sounds together and I'm pretty sure he can say "thank you" now...although not in context. He's getting really good at imitating sounds as well, so I'm sure it won't be long before he is saying a few new words. I'm thinking that he is teething right now, which isn't very fun. He hasn't been very cranky, but he hasn't wanted to eat much of anything. He is usually a very good eater, but I can't get him to eat hardly anything right now...except for bananas. He is definitely due to get some new teeth. He only has 5. Justus' teeth came in pretty late as well, but his started coming in all at once. I'm hoping that might be the case with Matthias as well. I would rather him be cranky for a few days and get it all over with than spread it out. I guess we'll see what happens.

In pregnancy news...I am currently 17 weeks. We are getting super close to our ultrasound...it's scheduled the last week of the month. We are very excited to find out the gender and to also pick out a name. We thought we had names picked out, but I keep changing my mind. We decided we would wait until after we find out the gender to look for a name...that way we are looking for one instead of two. I'm not sure if I have felt the baby move or not. In the next couple of weeks I'm sure it will become more obvious.

I hope you enjoy all the pictures from Christmas and from the past couple weeks!

The boys enjoying a little Christmas morning candy.

Justus' new guitar. He loves it and dances when he plays it.

The boys got a gumball machine for Christmas. We are going to use it as a reward when we start potty training.

Stacking pegs...he did that all by himself.

The boys love climbing on the high chair.
