Lex's Crib Climb

Lex (2 years old) still wanders the house during naptime--so we've kept him in the crib longer than Maxim. To our surprise last Wednesday, Lex appeared in our living room at naptime... Now we can't keep him in OR out.

Christmas Morning

The boys woke up early (as usual) to find out what Santa left them. Puzzles were the gift of the day and Maxim and Lex do them well together. Maxim tries to put the puzzle together before Lex takes them down. 

X-mas Log

If you like cake--and as you see here Maxim definitely does--there's nothing better than Robyn's cakes. On request she whipped up a chocolate cake (for Christina) with Marzipan mushroom decorations (for Jonathan). 

Potty time

Two things to notice in this picture. 1) Maxim is learning that sometimes he has a right to privacy. 2) If Maxim doesn't start eating more, his brother is going to be giving him trouble. The stats? Maxim: 26 months, 24lbs. Lex: 11 months, 21.4lbs.

I just wanted to share some daily activities with you. The boys are such fun and make everyday a joy. Even tasks as boring as vacuuming can be very exciting with these two. You never know what will happen next.

Believe it or not...

Christina out-technologied me by putting together this blog--so I'm playing catch-up and trying to find the best way of putting our photos online for the family. I think we'll be able to get some good pictures of the boys on soon. If we do things right--and there's a photo you want--you should be able to order prints right off the web.

Thanks to Suzanne and Mike I have just found this cool way of posting a blog online.

I am hoping to use this to keep you up to date with all the goings on in the Siegel household. Right now, of course, life revolves around Maxim and Lex. They are growing so fast it will be good to keep a record of their progress.
