This summer seems to be drifting by quickly. These days I find myself chasing after Noah, changing diapers and cleaning the house. Did I mention that I feel like the house never stays clean? I don't imagine it would when you live with two of the hairiest dogs on the planet. Besides the cleaning and laundry we have managed to squeeze in time for the pool. Noah is not a huge fan of the water. He is content playing in the dirt and using the water table. He loves to be outside. He is chatting quite a bit too. We still aren't exactly sure what he is saying but he does a lot of babbling. This summer he had tubes placed in his ears so we are hopeful that he will have less ear infections. He is getting really good at calling for the dogs. He says Toby's name very clearly. She really doesn't pay too much attention to him but Finnegan loves Noah. Most mornings I find them chasing one another through the house. Finn is so patient with Noah.
Eli is doing wonderful. He is a great baby. I was a little nervous at the thought of having two children under the age of two but I can honestly say that it's not so bad. We manage to run our errands and still enjoy the same outings that I did with just one child. There are things that make it easier, one being the awesome double stroller I have. It's a lifesaver!
Eli is on a great schedule which includes him sleeping through the night. He is doing a lot of smiling and cooing. We are hoping that he holds on to his blue eyes. He is just precious, see for yourself.

glad to hear all is well at the hickok house....told you 2 wasn't so bad and 3 is even easier because the olders look out for the youngers!!! the kids look great and you sound like every young mother keeping it together. good for you!!!
I just love that last picture of Eli! And, the one of Noah looking out the window is sweet too. Nathan doesn't like to pool if the water is cold. Maybe that's Noah's issue too. Our pool at camp is heated and Nathan loves it! But, put him in a cold pool or in a sprinkler and watch out! Is my Aunt's pool heated?
I'm glad things are going well with both of them and you're adjusting. I laughed when I read about your issues with the house cleaning. It reminds of that television commercial where she talks about how with the first baby everything is clean and tidy then, "you get over it!" Good luck! lol
Those are two gorgeous boys you have there!!! I am so glad they are doing well. I hope we can see you when we visit this summer!
eli is so sweet! his hair is getting so light too!
