Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a lovely first Thanksgiving with our boys.  They thoroughly enjoyed their meals.  Magnus' favorites were the roast squash, yams & apples, sausage dressing and monkey bread.  Ragnar's favorites were the smoked turkey, roast squash, sausage dressing and monkey bread.  They both loved their mini pumpkin pies too. 

Ragnar & Magnus - Thanksgiving 2011

10 Months Old

Ragnar & Magnus

Where has the time gone? Magnus and Ragnar are 10 months old. They are amazing. They are wonderful. They bring such joy to my life. They are curious and into everything they can get their little hands on. They are big eaters and are enjoying eating everything we eat. We did baby-led weaning with them, and I'm surprised by how much they eat and how well they are able to maneuver food into their mouth either with their hands or spoons. They love watching each other play and many days I hear them laughing and cooing at each other over the baby monitor during nap time. More than once, I have walked in to get them after a nap, and they are holding hands through their crib rails. Magnus has 8 teeth now and Ragnar has 2. Magnus definitely has curly hair, and Ragnar has straight hair that is wavy when wet. They both have amazing, piercing blue eyes. Their personalities are very well defined and very different. Magnus tends to observe and then dive into situations. Ragnar dives into most situations right away with both hands and both feet! I am so excited for the upcoming holiday season and to see the boys' reactions to all of our holiday traditions. I am so thankful for these boys and for the opportunity I have been given to be their Mama.
