The Boys

Jim is working a ton since we got back from vacation and it is showing no signs of slowing down. He spends as much time with the boys as he can when he is not at the hospital. I feel truly blessed that my boys have such a great daddy in their lives!

While Jim has been working, the boys and I have been hanging out. Ethan loves being a big brother and can't seem to get enough of Caleb (which is a good thing). Ethan is transforming into a little boy right in front of my eyes. Today I was watching him "read" himself a book while I was feeding Caleb and I was listening to him-it was the cutest thing. The book that he was reading was a counting book that goes up to 20. We have been reading this book pretty much every night because it has become his favorite book. He says, "Lets count the flowers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10" and I thought that is cute, he counts to ten all the time but he kept going "11,12,13,14,15".....I never in my life have heard him count past 10! That is just one example of how fast he is growing up on me.

Caleb is also growing - getting bigger by the day, he is now in 6 months clothes! He started some cereal just recently and he LOVES it! He is a great eater just like Ethan was. He is playing in his excersaucer now and has great head control. I see him trying to sit up in his car seat a lot these days. He is sleeping well, getting up just about one time a night to eat and is starting to take longer and less frequent naps. He is grabbing at toys, loves putting his fist in his mouth and as I mentioned in the last post, he is getting teeth! Not long from now, he will be the one counting to 15 on me!
