The Updike's

Still loves shoes . . . and still loves her Halloween costume from last year. Now if only we could get her completely out of diapers and into "big girl's" underwear permanently!

Oh, I love this boy so much! I can't believe how fast he is growing! He really is a very sweet and happy little baby! He has started the "cooing" phase and I just can't get enough of it. He just gives us the biggest grin and tries his hardest to communicate with us. The shoes he has on are shoes that Garrett wore when he was a baby! So cute! Lily just loves her baby brother! When he cries she will often say, "Hey Bos, no need to cry!" Bed head My cute cousin, Megan, is so good with babies. Lily and Boston just love her! Spending time with Great-Grandma Crossley This is what happens when mom is getting ready for church. Lily is obsessed with Boston's car seat. She loves to sit in it while she watches Mickey Mouse. Playtime! Every kid needs a picture with their shirt hanging on their head Lily giving Boston some love as he works on tummy time Cutest grin ever!

Lily can get you one! So one of Lily's most favorite things lately is going to the grocery store where they have "Car" shopping carts. She loves playing with the steering wheel and if you stop to get something she yells out, "The car's not working." We had completed our shopping and I started loading the car with our groceries. When I went to get Lily out of her "car" I noticed that she was holding a candy bar in her hand. I proceeded to explain to her that we can't take anything without paying for it . . . I think she understood because she kept saying, "that not nice." We quickly went back to the store and I found an older gentleman that worked there. I explained what had happened and gave him back the candy bar. He looked at Lily and she threw her hands up to her face like she was acting shy. He tried to give the candy bar back to her and I kindly told him no. (I was trying to teach her lesson). He understood . . . but for ...

We sure love these sweet children! They truly do bring great joy to our life! We thank Heavenly Father daily for these 2 great gifts! Boston is already 5 weeks old now! He really is such a sweet and content baby. He loves to cuddle, yet he also enjoys his own space. He will just lay on the bed or floor and look around contently for a long stretch of time. If we work really hard he will give us the cutest grin. He has a cute little dimple on the right side of his face! I love it! He seems to be growing very quickly as he has already grown out of the newborn diapers. (Garrett is excited because it means he might be big enough to play football.) Lovely Lily . . . what a sweetheart! We just love her spunky personality. She always puts a smile on our face with her funny comments. Despite her attitude and stubbornness that sometimes surface, she is very loving and loves to make people happy. She is definitely Miss Smarty Pants. Her vocabulary is fantastic. She is always talking...
