brotherly love...

and they say only girls go to the bathroom together! i'm pretty sure eli was imparting all the wisdom he knows while these two sat upon their thrones. they are coming around and beginning to love each other. eli loves to say "hey ty, hey buddy" in the cutest little voice over and over again. and ty loves to just be in eli's presence. he will sit on the floor and watch eli play with his toys and is content doing that.

ty is also starting to try his hand at crawling. he has been working real hard at it and has a great coach in his brother. eli loves to get down beside him and show him how. he hasn't quite figured it out yet but has been getting closer and closer each day. i'm not so sure how i feel about this. on one hand, i'm ready for him to be able to play well with eli but i'm also not ready to have two little ones mobile. but i guess they will keep me running around and maybe i'll lose some of this baby weight!

this picture makes eli look so little! but i promise, he is bigger than his brother. and yes, eli is playing with a "peepee tee-pee" in the picture below. he loves going through my diapers, wipes, and such. i have to say these boys are such a delight. we laugh so hard at the things eli says and does and find great joy in watching these little men grow up before our eyes. here are a few facts about each of them:

eli...starting to say little sentences like, "what you doing?" "hey mommy" "hey daddy" and whenever you ask him what he did that say his reply is "a football game, baseball game." he still loves trucks and loves going on rides in trucks. he is very observant and knows all the landmarks of our town and knows how to spot each of our friends' cars..."amy car!" "boo truck!" etc. he is also starting to eat more. and he will finally watch a couple of shows on tv: elmo and super why!

ty...is growing and rolling over and over. he isn't really into eating solids. every time i try to feed him he gives me the whole body shakes. he is quite spoiled and loves to be held. he also loves being in the baby bjorn facing out. he loves attention but also has quite the temper as i mentioned earlier. he puts everything in his mouth and screams when he is really happy or really mad. i hope he will start liking foods soon. we have tried rice cereal, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes. maybe i should just go straight to the fruits.
