I think they look very similar-except for the hair (or lack thereof in Tiernan's case!!)

Fun with a Box
The one fun thing about having two boys is that we can compare their pictures at the same ages. The first picture is of Tiernan at 3 months, and once again, I can't figure out why it's rotating it sideways. Grrr!

The Pond is Gone!
Last week we (and I use this term loosely) finally took out our huge pond in our front yard. It was a maintenance nightmare: during the spring it was full of bark from the wind, in the summer it was full of algae from the sun, during the fall it was full of leaves, and over the winter it had footprints on it from the neighbor kids walking across the frozen ice (DANGER!) Basically we (again using the term loosely) were constantly having to clean junk out of it-thankfully no children. On top of that, our fish froze to death this winter-my dad was completely traumatized as he was in love with our two foot long albino catfish named Carl. I thought Carl was creepy with his giant fish mouth. Ever since we've had Tiernan we've been saying that we need to take the pond out for his safety, and now that he's become a little escape artist, it's all the motivation we needed to take the pond out for good!
The process: (1) Shovel out all the existing bark (2) Haul in two dump trucks full of dirt (3) Rent an excavator to (a) move all the rocks to the side of our house (b) dig out dead or unwanted shrubbery (c) push dirt around (it's called GRADING, Tara!) (d) dig out and re-plant wanted scrubbery
It has been so wet and rainy lately that Ethan had to empty the water in the pond three different times. Even still, the excavator got stuck in the mud and thankfully Tyler was here to help Ethan get out!
We are obviously not done yet, but here is the new and improved pond-free front yard:

Cameron's 2 month appt.
I am so annoyed that for some reason Blogger keeps rotating my horizontal pictures. Can someone who is technologically savvy please help me?? I've tried deleting them, and re-uploading them individually but it still does this. Ack!
In any case my little baby is not such a tiny newborn anymore. We went to Cameron's 2 month Dr. appt. today and he weighs 13 lbs. 12 oz. (90%) and he is 23 1/4 inches long (60%.) Tiernan only weighed 10 lbs. at his 2 month appt. so I'm wondering if he'll be even bigger than Tiernan! He was not so happy about receiving his shots-he's been SO cranky all afternoon-normally he is a very content, laid-back little guy so I'm sure he's not been feeling well. He's recently started cooing and smiling alot AND an added perk is that he's starting sleeping a little bit longer at night. I feel like a whole new woman! Here are some recent pictures:
