Here we go again!

Anthony got his first tooth this week. It's playing peek-a-boo with his gums right now, but I definitely felt it today. So now we're back to full-time bibs and lots of baby drool. I hope he is like his brother in the Growing Teeth Department. Vince always got two matching teeth at the same time and is even continuing that trend right now...he's getting his 2-year molars in. Of course we're getting two helpings of teething attitude these days as well...the Ripley house is just FULL of pleasant boys!
Anthony is eating his toes a lot these days and the little stinker won't take a pacifier so he sucks on his index finger and his middle finger (one's just not enough) so he has blisters on his knuckles. He kinda looks like he has baby-bulemia ... except he's still really chunky. Here are some recent photos of our boys. I can't believe they are 22 months and 5 months old!



Veggie Tales' newest fan!


Pausing his playtime for a nice big "CHEESE!"
We played outside on the porch today and Vince just wanted to be closer to Anthony. They love each other so much. AJ's face lights up when Vince pays attention to him.


Vince wasn't the only one trying to entertain AJ; Sidney loves him too. The big kids were playing peek-a-boo around the play pen.



Sidney and Vince. I just love how they love each other.




Look at those baby blues...


Watching mommy work...sucking on his fingers!



This one cracked me up. I got the camera out to take the photo above of AJ and Vince ran to the cabinet, opened the door and posed like that!!! He hadn't been playing in that cabinet at all that day! In fact, he rarely opens that one, because he prefers the ones to the right in the photo. Such a little model. He's saying, "Cheeeeese!!!!" by the way.

Again, with the posing... "cheese!"
