For mom...(me)

So, this is more for me because I am not doing a great job of keeping up with milestones, etc for the boys so am forcing myself to sit down and do it.  I love watching their little personalities...how different they are and alike at the same time.  So here goes:
Caleb:
Smart as a whip...he can recognize someone's car wherever we are.  We can be driving and he sees a car that looks like daddy's or mine, or ANYONE's car he has ever seen and says, "Mommy, that is like _______'s car!" We pulled up in our driveway today and our neighbor's mom's car was parked and he said, "mommy, that's Mrs. Meg's mom's car."  Seriously?
He loves his brother, but does not love to share with him.
He loves cheese, milk, cereal, hummus, spaghetti, "chewies," and nothing else.
He loves to play with cars, legos, loves to read books over and over, loves the pool, loves to be outside and LOVES anything Disney.
His vocabulary is so expansive and he is very articulate with his words (not bragging but he is pretty fantastic!)
He knows stores by what we buy there...the milk and egg store, the cereal store, etc.
He asks Jermile all the time when he gets home from work, "daddy are you staying for a long time?"-he loves when daddy is home :)
He categorizes people as little people (kids) or big people (adults)...hard to tell a "larger" person what he means when he calls them big :/

Aiden:
He is crawling (army style) around everywhere.  He is hard to contain!
He adores Caleb and Beasley and will follow them anywhere.
When he laughs, it melts my heart!  Caleb can make him laugh like no one else can.
He has 4 teeth...both upper/bottom front 2!
He is a pretty chill little guy for the most part, but we have had our phases!
He is starting to pull up to a stand and has really in the 3 weeks been able to sit from crawling and go back to crawling
He is only about 1lb bigger than Caleb was at this age although everyone says he is going to be the big one whatever that means!
He is not very snuggly...meaning, he does not like to be held and never really has.

That is all I can really think of for now.  I love the opportunity to get to be home with them everyday.  It absolutely has its challenges, but I love getting to see everything they are doing and not missing anything.  BUT, Caleb has a gotten a bit whinier since being at home with me.  Yikes.  Thankful for this family!
