We had some warmer weather the last few days. So, the boys and I have been outside a little bit. It has been great to take them out especially because we got a horrible stomach flu on Saturday and it wiped us all out. We have thankfully recovered now and are eating more normal food and not as many crackers.
TJ is officially a walker now. He took his first steps a month or so ago, but is now just realizing that walking is pretty cool. He loves walking from one person to the next or from one side of the room to the other. He uses furniture to help him stand and then he is off. I will put some pictures of him walking soon and then you can see our little Superman TJ walking. He holds one arm out in front and the other bent near his face for balance. He looks like a little superman boy. It's quite cute.
Caleb likes for TJ to "walk to me" and is trying very hard not to push his brother down. We are definitely working on that one! The boys do get along quite well...I'm amazed! Actually, one day this week when Caleb was sick, he took 2 naps during the day and the boys napping schedule was off so one would be awake while the other was sleeping. TJ would be so sad without Caleb. He seemed so bored without his brother. He's definitely the second child and used to having someone around all the time!
Caleb is our little chatterbox. He is always talking about something...most of it involves..."TJ blah, blah, blah, TJ". My mom said it was good we named him TJ...very easy for Caleb to say!
Caleb loves to play with his kitchen he got from Christmas and his snapper puzzles pieces. We also play his favorite game "Brown Bear, Panda Bear" everyday before nap time. His favorite Bible stories right now are David and Goliath and the story of Jesus calming the storm when on the boat with his disciples. Caleb says "God saves us" and "Be calm".
I'll try to get some pics out...the boys are growing up so quickly!
Mr. Potato Head is another favorite of ours...actually, we received Mr., Mrs., and baby potato head for Christmas from Aunt Kristen....its great! Caleb and I build the potato head family and TJ takes all the pieces out. We have a wonderful system!
Caleb loves to help....so, he is helping with the swiffer and helping me bake by stirring the flour....the flour got all over his clothes and on the floor...but it was a good activity for both of us. He had a great time!
TJ is helping out with the puzzle pieces...actually we call him TJ Destructo because he always likes to tear things down...so, Caleb will build a puzzle or tower with blocks and Destructo will take it apart.
The boys are having snack with our neighbor, Andrew...they love to go next door and see if Andrew is home. We are so thankful for such great neighbors!
