Bryan's First Steps

That's right! Bryan took his first steps on the 24th of June and both Matt and I were there!! We couldn't have been happier. I was about three feet away from Matt when I was holding onto Bryan. We were doing our nightly "practice walk" and I let go. Bryan was particularly stable when I let go and he just went forward with two steps until he lost his balance and fell forward. We all cheered, including Jonathan who thought all the cheering was about him.

Last weekend, we went to the petting zoo. This is the same one we went to just a couple of months ago. This time, they had all the reptiles in their cages so we could see them; it was too cold last time. We can't get enough of that place, it's just a great place to take kids big and small. There's a playground right next to the zoo that we went to before hand. We decided to try out the swings and slide for the first time. Matt was a bit worried how the twins would do size-wise so we put them in the swing seats and pushed them ever-so-slightly and the boys had a great time.

Here's Jonathan. He LOVED the swings and I can't wait to swing with him again soon.

Here's Bryan. Don't let the picture throw you, he was checking out a bunch of kids that just arrived when I took out the camera. He also got a kick out of the swings.

By the way, see the little boy in the background of that last picture? He had a Penn State wrestling-type onesie on. It turns out that his parents (also PSU alumni) had just moved here from State College. It's a small world!

Here we are trying out the slide. I think I had more fun than them here. I did get a few giggles out of them after the first go around.


This weekend will be our first 4th of July as a family. We're not planning on anything, just for the boys to sleep through the fireworks - hopefully! I think next year they'll be old enough to care what those big sparks are up in the air. Have a great Holiday! And Happy Birthday to Aunt Steffani!!
