Henry is a 2-year old punk...

... but we like him anyway.

Here he is getting a talking to after crawling into the bathroom, unrolling the entire TP roll, throwing the empty tube in the toilet and trying to flush. Thankfully, his little muscles weren't quite up to that final feat.

You can see how chastened and contrite he is feeling

He loves to make faces whenever we pull out the camera

He's decided that any party is the appropriate venue to wear his skeleton costume from Halloween

He had no shame about crashing the ward nativity play, despite not officially being cast as a member of the manger scene

But he loves his family

And his playful personality is pretty hard to resist

Baby Eli other wise known as...

Colonel Mustard, Pony Boy, Merbaby, Piglet, Cricket and Megan's personal favorite -- "E" -- is now 2 months old.

Wow, that went fast.

With Megan being our first baby, and shall we say, feisty, I thought she would never grow and we would never sleep again. I literally wished her to two months. With Henry the first two months were a blur, we enjoyed him but it was a little traumatic looking back, feeding him through a tube in his nose and trying to figure out what was going on. And now with Eli he is growing so fast and I feel like he is going to be one before I know it. I guess by baby number three you start to realize just how fast these little babies grow and change. So this is a reminder to myself: as I am bouncing Eli with the TV volume to the max to hear over his cries, and constantly finding spit-up on everything I wear, and kissing Mike good night as he goes to the couch, this really is just a fleeting moment and I need to enjoy it, because it is gone before you know it.

Here are his stats at 2 months

Weight: 11 lb 8 oz (50%)

Length: 22 in (25%)
