Bon voyage Uncle Tony!

I've been slacking at updating our blog because we've had visitors for the past 18 days. My [baby] brother Anthony and his best friend, Peter came to visit us from Belgium.
I hadn't seen him in seven long long years and we had a wonderful time with him. He left yesterday and I miss him more than I ever thaught I would.
My heart aches knowing that he is so far away from us once again. It was so good to have him here and meet my kids for the first time, cook his favorite meals, hug and squeeze him (yes, us Kukaj's we love to hug and squeeze).

Here are a few photos from his visit, very random and total snapshots, I know, but pictures I will treasure dearly until the next time we see eachother again, hopefully, in Belgium this time!

First tooth!

On August 6th, as we were coming back from our Mommy 'n Me class at our church, I stuck my finger in Nate's mouth for my daily "check for teeth". Well, to my surprise, I found one. His first little pearly white! Same one as his brother's first tooth, the bottom left tooth and just like his brother, no sign of the other one popping out anytime soon either!

This photo is the only one he allowed me to take. It was taken about 10 days after I actually felt it!

busy busy busy

We've been busy and I've been slackin'!

We've had so much going on lately, good things (Thank GOD!)....so I've neglected our blog and have been spending every moment possible with the most amazing men I know (Eric, Sebastian and Nathaniel that is).

We are off to the Keys today, but promise to return with tons of updates (I have a bunch)!

Summer Fun

We love spending time outdoors, especially in our backyard. Nate loves to just sit and watch what is going on and Sebastian runs around causing chaos (don't act surprised!).

I managed to capture these moments on camera today.... I simply cannot get enough of them!

Best friend ever!

Just a few pictures of the boys. They absolutely LOVE each other and I have to admit that seeing them together is the most beautiful thing. A few days ago, we were all in the playroom and Sebastian ran up to Nate, gave him a big hug and said : " You are my best friend ever Nay-Nate (yup that's how he calls him!)", I swear Eric and I almost cried. How stinkin' cute???

Happy Half Birthday lovie!

Time sure flies when you are having fun!!!

It seems like only yesterday, we welcomed Mr. Nathaniel into our family and now he is such a big boy.

What is Nate up to these days:

- He weighs 21.5 lbs!! He lovesssssssssss the boob, doesn't care for baby food but seems more interested in what we eat than what is in his plate. He does love the organic teething biscuits I give him though. It's a like a drug to him and he cries his little heart out when he is done with it.

- He sits up very well, scoots backwards and to the side only.

- Says: mama, dada, nana and blows bubbles all day long.

- puts his arms up in the air when mommy enters the room so she can carry him.

- is starting to experience some speration anxiety, and cries when I leave the room.

- is the biggest flirt EVER.

- simply adores his big brother and will twist and turn in any way possible just to make sure he is always inhis line of sight (so cute!).

Here is a storyboard I made for Eric with his 6 month photos. I know it looks more like something I should have given him for Father's Day but it's still adorable!

Gosh I love this kid!

No wonder I want more kids, I have the most amazing boys! Seriously, I cannot get enough of them!

Nate is just the sweetest little thing and Sebastian (although quit the terror) is such a lovebug. I was playing around this morning after breakfast and check out this cute picture! Isn't he the cutest? I have a bunch more to proof, but it's time for me to go to bed, so you'll have to wait a day or two to see more!
