ballparks and big brothers...

the boys and i ventured out on wednesday. we traveled to wally world, ate mexican with nene and boo (ty isn't too fond of the hot salsa), and to the ballpark to pick up daddy after his double-header. we made it just in time for the final out of the second game. :)

big brother has had mixed emotions concerning his little brother. he thoroughly enjoys holding ty and is very interested in all he does. he wants to watch him laying down, give him his pacifier, and check out how he eats. but he definitely having a hard time when mommy is preoccupied with ty's needs. he has figured out while i'm nursing, i can't just go and check out what he is doing. i have to make sure all doors are shut...esp the pantry door. :) he has also had a really hard time with the word "no". he pitches a lot of fits right now when chris or me have to tell him no. hopefully this little phase will pass.

i did check a sweet moment on my camera the other day. i had laid ty down for a minute on the couch while i tried to load a few dishes. the next thing i knew, eli was trying to crawl up and catch a glimpse of ty. he laid his head down beside ty and just stared at him. it was so adorable!

here is eli helping give ty his first bath.
ty did not like his bath at all!!!!!
these two kids are NOTHING alike so far.

here are a few of their differences:
e: no hair
t: head full of black hair

e: looks like mommy
t: couldn't look more like his daddy

e: would never sleep on his back
t: loves to be on his back

e: paci sucker with the best of them
t: will take a paci but won't keep it long

e: very alert
t: loves to sleep (not complaining about this one!!)

i do have to say, i love these boys so much and can't wait for them to be old enough to play together and become the best of friends.
