Hi all,
Just a few notes about the boys...as you can see, Loudon has become quite the streaker. Whenever I disappear to put Brennus down for a nap- or whatever-Loudon strips off his clothes, and when I reappear, he thinks it's quite funny. But, finding him riding his bike around while naked was too much! He's definately getting smarter and some of the biggest differences I see in him lately are things like, being able to dress himself (after the strip tease!), and open and close the van doors, he gets himself a snack or a drink whenever he wants...just generally older things. It's very interesting to see his mind change. He talks about plants and how they grow, about how the body works and is always making up 'machines'.
Brennus has very few signs of baby left. He has a small vocabulary of words now. Besides mama and dadda, he says uh-oh, hot, apple, pup-pup (puppy), kitt (kitten), up, banana. He calls every animal a pup-pup and everything dangerous; like knives & outlets are hot (must not touch). He's really devilish at times and can really torture his brother, grabbing his face and then laughing while Loudon complains. Or he pretends to give you something and then grabs it back and laughs. He'll even do this with his kisses- it's very funny. Sometimes, when I say, "Give me a kiss." he'll just shake his head no. He really like books and music and likes to be chased and tickled- who doesn't!
