Growing Together

I've been taking a break from blogging because the boys had random summer time fevers but are feeling better now. Here are a few glimpses into life we've captured with our NEW CAMERA! Thanks, Josh!

Fighting over a pen together. Everyone told me not to interfere with their fighting and they would learn to work it out. Here is the progression. Last winter Sam learned to walk first and took toys away from Michael because he could. Then Michael learned to walk and began taking toys from Sam. Then Michael began pushing Sam to get toys away from him. Sam learned to push back and scream at insanely high pitches to get Michael to stop. Michael stopped and now negotiates by bringing one of Sam's favorite toys in to him hoping he'll lose interest in what ever he has that Michael wants. Seems to be working.




Playing with farm animals after breakfast









Going down the tree-slide at the mall on a muggy day








Michael helping Daddy throw out the trash





Michael puckering up to give Mommy a kiss through the bars at the playground. I wish I could say he came up with this on his own, but no, I taught him so I could get some sweet little baby kisses while he's busy playing. Sam does it too.








Sam reciting something very important or singing. Can't remember.







In synch swinging. This is their favorite thing to do. We tend to be at the park during off times somehow and they hog the swings for up to 30 minutes at a time. We are having a lot of fun!
