Christmas Preparations

The boys weren't much help putting up the Christmas tree, but they did enjoy watching.
We went to a Christmas concert at the Tabernacle on Temple Square with Grandma and Grandpa Ogilvie. Brad was really tired and didn't like having to wear his hat.

Seth had a much better attitude. They actually both did very well considering it was after their bedtime. We didn't get a chance to look at many lights, but I think they'll be more interested next year.

Jungle Jim's Playland

With all this baby gear I'm starting to feel like I live at Jungle Jim's Playland
I brought out the exersaucers this week and they were a big hit. The boys especially love the vantage point of a standing position. Here Brad is putting a toy in his mouth, this is what happens to everything he gets his hands on.

We started the boys on solid foods last week on their six month birthday. They're good eaters and have eaten the applesauce, pears, peaches, sweet potatos, and squash. I'm hopeful this pattern will continue and they won't be picky eaters like their father is.
We're six months old but wearing lots of 12 month clothes!!
Bathtime is still a favorite. Here's Seth living it up.

Overalls

Seth just looks like a little boy and not a baby. Give it up for tennis shoes.
I really love these overalls now that the boys can fit into them. A thank you to the Bakers staff in Omaha :)
On your marks, get set, oh wait, we can't crawl yet.
Does anyone know a modeling agency with ties to REI? Just kidding.

Halloween and other fun pictures

Seth was a brown bear for Halloween and Brad was a polar bear. I thought they were adorable, so it will be hard to top the cuteness level next year. Brad Seth
Brad must think he lives in a day spa! But I guess he has the right idea because being a baby certainly is a pampered life. Someone prepares all your meals, does your shopping, and arranges your entertainment and social life.

Here's Seth hamming it up for the camera.
Brad can't be out done by his brother, so here he is being cute.
Sometimes it more of a workout to get the boys ready for the daily jog than the actual running is! You can see how much they enjoy bundling up.
