Climbing




Adam loves to climb so when he saw some older kids at the park climbing this tree he had to have a go at it. He is so cute!!! He did a pretty good job. I believe all of that practice on our furniture is paying off. Ha Ha.
Oh Zachary is cute even when he is grupy. I love this age for him, not so much for Adam. Right now it is a fight to do anything: put shoes on, get out to he door, get in the car, get out of the car, change clothes, change daiper etc... All of these everyday activities are a chance for battel. So he is at the let's make everything difficult stage. I wonder why I'm tired at the end of the day?

Hey Jena,
What a handsome kid! He'll be a lady killer for sure.

Wow! you celebrated St. Patrick's day? Death to the Irish snakes! Huzzaa!
Hope NJ is treating you well.
Love you,
Allen

Is this what I have to look forward to? I probably won't bother leaving the house or getting James dressed then. I am too lazy to battle. I will change his bum though. And I totally agree that he is extra cute when angry. Is that an angry picture? Could have fooled me.

Do you ever get angry? I wish I could see you get angry, I think it would be hilarious! :) Jackson is HOPEFULLY on the tail-end of this terrible 2-3 stage. I swear this stage is the equivalent of bipolar disorder. One second they're angelic, the next crazy! Your little Zack is looking a lot more like Adam. They're SO adorable.

Your kiddos are so cute! They really are looking alike! Did Jeff's mom tell you we are having a boy? I tried sending you the email I sent out, but it bounced back.

Yup, it's just that age. I have to strap Zoe down to change her diaper. She is not a fan of clothes either.

Claire was the ultimate difficult child. Hang in there! They're both so cute and I can't wait to see them!

Ben & Diane said...

Man.....you have cute kids. I think Adam looks like you and Zachary looks like his grandpa Engstrom. I saw your blog through Val's. I'm glad you have one. Now I can see all the fun happenings of the Engstroms on the east coast.

My McKay is 2 years old and I know what you mean about everything being a battle. I am waiting for this to be a passing phase!

CYNDI said...

I am so sorry. At least you know it isn't that he is a bad kid, just one in a hard stage. I am still hoping (I know it won't really happen) that once Jacob turns three he will magically be happy all the time and will listen and obey to everything I say! Is Zack crawling? Michael is still content to sit there!

How come Allen doesn't leave comments on MY blog?

But I love the tree-climbing pictures. I have several of myself in trees at that age and now several more of Truman and his tree-hugging ways. We'll have to build a treehouse at mom and dad's when you guys come. We'll make them buy the wood and you and I can do it, Jena!
