Playing with my brother...

I love watching Noah & Baden play together. It really is amazing to watch the way they interact with one another. They are truly unique individuals and that is very apparent even in the way they play, but they make a perfect team. For instance...Baden loves to stack things so he has a blast building little towers, Noah loves to knock the towers down. Noah does not have the patience to stack and Baden has to be urged to knock his towers down. Even more amazing is that Baden doesn't get upset when Noah knocks his handiwork down, he simply starts building again. He only gets mad when Noah tries to take his blocks away, now that is teamwork. Both boys have learned to hold their own when it comes to the competition for things between the two of them but they are serious partners in crime. When one figures something out like lets say how to escape from their exersaucers or how to open the media cabinet doors the other is not far behind. Today they were fighting over who got to stand in the media cabinet drawers, I am now totally convinced they are out to destroy every piece of furniture I own. And while they do play by themselves they are always checking in on one another, and they do not like to be separated especially at nap time. On some days I will put the boys down for their naps (same room, separate cribs) and they will sit and talk and play forever. So me thinking I was smart got out the trusty port-a-crib thinking I would separate them and put one in the port-a-crib in my room and leave the other in their own crib. Lets just say that didn't go over well. They both cried hysterically and continuously until they were reunited. I am pleased to see so much brotherly love so early.

My boys make me smile everyday...

This is how we spent the afternoon. They each wore one of Jackson's shoes and they giggled the whole time as they walked and then fell down.
