Laughing and Learning

Miles and Benji

 The boys and I spend every day laughing and learning. Benji and Milo learn how the world works and keep me laughing the whole time (with a few screams and tears here and there). This month has been a lot of fun.

Benjamin and Miles have learned how to go down the slides at the park, how to run as fast as a Cheetah, how to climb onto the couch and kitchen chairs, how to say "No", and how to put up a good fight. They like to fight me when I won't let them throw their food, when they need a diaper change, and when it's time to turn Daniel Tiger off. These are all pretty traumatic things, so it doesn't test my patience at all when they put up a fight with kicks and "no", I would probably do the same thing!

They have also learned a whole slew of new animal sounds and actions and are learning new words every day. It is very entertaining and makes every day an adventure. These big 18 month olds are learning and growing so fast!

We love taking over
mom's chair.

My first gift as a Mom. 

Thanks, Sweetie!

I love them. 

Miles loves the park.

An awful black lip, but
handsome none the less.

Such big boys!

"Eye"-Benji

"Don't even think about it."
-Miles

"Good work! But please don't
poke your brother's eye." -Mom

Pink cheeks mean it's time
to go home.

I walked out of the bathroom to them sitting
quietly at the table.
They had never gotten up before!

Playing with their new toys.

A relaxing Sunday night of painting.

It got a little too quiet again so we
knew something was up. They think
like their Daddy!

Just figuring out how the
dishwasher works.

Again, it got a little to quiet while I was
doing dishes...

Perfect.

Benji and Milo

We love playing in the pool!

So cold!

Benji loves to splash.

Miles is a little hesitant to jump
into the cold water.
