Our little man is quite vocal. Sweet coo's are not his style. He loves to either yell loudly at different pitches or laugh out loud. All very cute. The funniest is when he decides to do this mid-morning (2/3AM). You can't help but laugh and want to cuddle with him:) We've posted a little video to show him giggling with Daddy which has become a daily routine.

Yummy.....fooooood:)
Our growing boy has been introduced to cereal and LOVES it!! After returning to work and still getting up every 2-3 hours to feed Collin, we decided to start him on cereal. The Dr. recommends waiting until 6 months, but we couldn't hold out any longer. So far, we've only given him rice cereal and he is a big fan!! He'll grunt until you give him more. His brother also enjoys feeding him and then calling him 'Messy Face'. Sometimes while you're feeding Collin, Hugh will go get his baby and we'll give him a spoon and bowl to feed his baby.
In the next week or so, we'll probably start him on veggies which will be fun to watch him eat. His faces are priceless. The best part is that he's waking only once (sometimes twice) which makes it much easier on Mom & Dad.
Dinosaur Halloween
This year, both boys dressed up as dinosaurs for Halloween. The idea of the costume was super exciting for the pre-Halloween neighborhood party the weekend prior, however, the costume was less desirable the day of Halloween. For some reason, Hugh did not want anything to do with dressing up and/or going out for candy. Prior to going outside and handing out candy, Hugh was cracking us up. After the minor costume tantrum, he started wheeling his suitcase into the laundry room to go outside. We asked him what he was doing and he said "I need to go to Boston". (Mommy had just returned from her business trip to Boston a few days ago). We asked him why he needed to go to Boston. "I need to go to the store." What do you need at the store? "I need to buy some jelly beans." Sounds like an expensive trip for jelly beans, but humorous nonetheless. About 7:15pm, we finally coaxed him to walk to some of the neighbors houses costumeless (costume was over mommy's shoulder) to trick or treat for candy. He did and loved it!! Finally, he put on the costume and walked around the two streets adjacent to our house. He was running house to house. In between the running, he would roll in the neighbors yards ?? Not sure why, but he would run, then roll, then run to get the candy, then roll back down their yards. Weird, but very funny!! He also enjoyed staring at the talking 5ft witch at one of our neighbors. He would have stood there all night if we let him:)
Hugh is Two!!
Many thanks for everyone who came by to visit and/or shared kind gifts with Hugh for his second birthday. He is a very lucky boy!! His basketball party was a hit!!

Thanksgiving Weekend!!
We have so much to be thankful for. God has blessed us with two handsome healthy boys that make life so much fun!! This past weekend, Hugh surprised the family with a little getaway to Chicago for the holiday weekend. We stayed in a little city called Roscoe which was only a simple subway commute to downtown. Thursday, we saw the tail end of the McD's Thanksgiving parade. Little Hugh loved watching Santa dance. We visited a little Christmas village and dined at Bennigan's on Michigan Avenue. Friday, we visited the Nature Museum and then went back downtown for some Chicago pizza and a little shopping. Above everything, Hugh's favorite part was seeing the trumpets displayed outside Macy's. "Frumpets" as he calls them. During the trip, he kept asking, "Can we go see the Frumpets?". He also enjoyed riding the subway/'Train'. We hope everyone had a great holiday too.
