The other night when I was putting the boys down, they were being a little goofy. When we are reading stories, we are always on James bed. It's Gavin by the wall, James in the middle, me on the edge. I was reading "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" (a collection of nursery rhymes), and James all of a sudden starts stroking Gavin's cheek. They break out in a fit of giggles. Of course it is repeated then! They keep doing this. Funniest part is watching Gavin's recovering face- he was totally trying to get a straight face for the next giggle-fest. So funny!! I have never seen him TRY to not laugh... to get ready to laugh!! Oh man... crack me up.
Right now we are watching Super Why. Gavin came down about 10 minutes ago. James was on the opposite end of the couch. When he finally realizes Gavin is hear, he jumps over to him, snuggles in the blanket next to him. "Gavin, you are Awaaake??" (said with much inflection, of course. it is James). Then he proceeds to stroke his cheek and wait for laughter. And laugh they did.

If You Try
James has an adorable voice. Adorable. And his inflection... well, it just adds to the adorableness. I need to get it on video more. The other day, I was doing something on my phone... can't remember what... and James comes up to me with his Magne-Doodle.
James: Mommy, you can draw Captain America... if you try!
Said with the sweetest, goofiest smile and inflection ever. It's his new "I-want-my-way-so-I'm-being-sweet" voice. And it usually works because it means he isn't whining and crying to me to get his way. Which is just... getting old.
Such a sweet boy

More more more
Holy cow, I need to start writing down what the boys are saying every day and write in here every day. They are so cute and funny. Exhausting and energetic... but cute and funny nonetheless.
Jack-jack is officially a walker as of last week. He took his first steps around a month ago, and walking a tiny bit, but last week was a huge leap in walking. He is now 100% walking more than crawling. Barely crawling anymore. He started clapping on Sunday. Um, adorable. Aaaand he waves. So basically, he's not a baby anymore?? No, I won't let that happen. He may be huge and doing little boy things, but he is still my baby.
Gavin is in the throws of the terrible-twos, though I think he is adapting a bit. We still have our worse days, but they aren't every day like they were in the beginning. Thank heavens for that. Oh, man.
James's imagination is amazing right now. He is creating stories and building houses for his toys, he makes robots out of blocks. It is wonderful to see. He is also starting to get his own catch-phrases, for lack of a better description. Cracks. Me. Up.
It's funny- Brad can handle Gavin's little meltdowns and two-ness easy. I can handle Jack's bad days of crying easy. We cannot handle the opposite. Ah, meant for each other :)
