We're Back!

Did you miss us?

It's been a while.  The last couple of months have been pretty busy but I haven't been very intentional about updating the blog.  Sorry about that.  

I guess the biggest news out the Chapin house is that Lucas is now walking.  He started taking his first steps a couple of weeks ago.  Now he's able to take a number of steps in succession and it won't be long before he's done with crawling.  He's also sleeping a lot better at night so that's been nice for Courtney and I.

Levi continues to impress us with his ability to learn new things.  He has a very extensive vocabulary.  He's also become quite the negotiator with Mom and Dad already.  We often find ourselves saying something like "OK one more time and then its bedtime" and Levi will counter with "How about 2 more times?".  He's not making much progress with potty training though.  Still refuses to go poop in the potty (despite the bribe of going to get ice cream when he does) and he occasionally goes pee but usually only when we make him sit on the potty.  We're hoping that it will click and he'll "get it" soon.

That's all for now.  Enjoy the pictures from a fun-filled weekend!!

Must have got his sense of fashion from his mom.

Notice how Levi has hoarded all the trains and won't let Lucas play with any?

Levi is always very gentle with his cousin Baby Eryn.

Courtney lended her cake decorating skills for Maya's 2nd birthday.

Lucas really enjoyed being outside today.

Exploring the yard.

It's really hard to get a picture with both of them smiling.
