Growing Up

There are moments when I look at the boys and think 'When did that happen?'  It is so fun to watch them grow and learn.  So what are they up to. . .

Max and Will are playing - as in together!  I feel like I'm seeing glimpses of what the future could hold.  Yesterday they were playing cars at the garage and it was adorable.

Will: "Me car need gas, Max."
Max: "Come on over to the gas station and I'll fill you up."
Will: "Okay Max!"

I love hearing Will say Max's name.  For the longest time it just sounded like Ma.  Now he has the x sound on the ending and it is just too cute.  He idolizes Max and wants to do everything Max does.  Every day there are more and more moments when that actually works out and Will is able to at least attempt to do what big brother does.  I can trust the two of them to play together in the basement for short amounts of time without too much worry.  Granted they do get out a million and one toys, but at least the mess is hidden downstairs.

Whether the two of them are playing golf in the house, racing the Cozy Coupe around, or just talking the big boys are becoming more than just brothers - they are becoming friends. 

And as for this guy all I can say is Wow.  His infectious little giggle just makes my heart melt.  Every day he learns something new and it is so much fun to watch.  He is beginning to get into things more and more.  We have been working on pulling up and he can get up to his knees on his own.  His legs seem to be getting stronger when we work on standing up.  He even shows off and holds on with just one hand sometimes. 

 He just loves this busy block.  He can play with it for quite a while before he moves on to the next toy.   His crawling is improving and he uses a combo of traditional crawling as well as army crawling to get to what he wants.  I have a feeling the army crawl will be phased out soon, but he still have a tough time staying up on his hands and knees when he gets to the hardwood.  They just slide right out from under him. Doesn't he look so grown up in his big boy overalls?  I love it!
