DIAPER ACHIEVERS

Diapers have been in the news a lot recently, what with that crazy astronaut driving across the country in a pair of diapers and the subsequent revelation that ALL astronauts wear diapers during takeoff and landing. Later that week, Stephen Colbert said all high achieving people wore diapers, and proclaimed himself a Diaper Achiever.

Well, this has been great news for Nate and Will, who find themselves looking to the skies, dreaming of flying to the moon...
OK, so they're not quite looking out the window because there is an extreme distraction in the form of a man with a camera right next to them. I guess I'll have to go outside to get a better angle. That's not quite the effect I'm looking for, either. But hey, we can't all be blurbomat.

The point is that Nate and Will are very good at wearing diapers. (Just this evening, Nate let a fart whose volume and velocity would not have been out of place at a frat party.) And now that diaper wearing is a sign of excellence, both boys are ready to make the most of it.

While it will take a little more age and schooling before blast off, Nate is working on what he can do right now...That scene may seem like chaos, but Nate is actually in a yoga pose called "upward facing gerbil." (having pants half removed is part of the pose) Nate is getting very good at stretching into weird poses, and eating his own toes. Strange, I know, but I understand Nate became self actualized over the weekend, so who are we to judge?

Will is taking his talents a different route...Will has reinvented himself as a matinee idol type. A drooling matinee idol who takes a lot of naps, but a matinee idol still the same. He's wowing the ladies with his big blue eyes and toothless smile. Of course, Nate is the big flirt and Will really isn't, but I don't have pictures to support that. And if I've learned anything from working in TV news, it's that the picture is king.

So while they may be some 30 years away from their first space flight, Nate and Will really are proving that they're Diaper Achievers. Good work, boys.

Oh man. Babies "discovering" and "eating" their toes is off the charts cute.

Now my ovaries hurt. And I don't even have ovaries.

I adore your boys - and the yoga pose had me snorting. Keep 'em coming!

How do you tell them apart NOW? They still look the same to me. And was it ever determined if they were identical twins? Yes, I know it's been over 6 months, but I have a lot of catchin' up to do.

Twins? TWINS?! Since when have there been two of them?!

Just kidding.

Adorable, once again. Strange how much amusement I get out of photos of kids of complete strangers.

Crazy internet.

Let me tell you something here: Will looks just like you. Nate looks like Will, so do the logic.
No question about those boys' paternity.
They get more beautiful every day.
Watch out. Soon, they'll be teenagers.
