We love our sister!

Will and Ben adore Josie. Ben wants to do everything she does. She laughs and puts her head back and two seconds later Ben is doing the same. Josie goes down the stairs like a big kid and Ben refuses to scoot. He wants to walk down. Will likes his sister too. He doesn't always mimic her, but he Will give her his best smile, belly laugh, and lots of claps too.

There favorite thing to do with their sister is climb on her and wrestle her to the ground. Like the picture above. Will is still in his pajamas. This tends to be a daily occurrence.

Yesterday, Billy said to Ben "Where is your sister, where is Josie?" He goes running over to her and gives her a close line that knocks her to her feet. After that we decided maybe pointing to who we are looking for is a better option.

My two men

The boys are growing up fast. Here are some fun things they are doing!

Ben started walking just before his first birthday. Now he runs! Everywhere. So fast that sometimes he can't slow down in time. He is still such a snuggle bug. In the morning he will finish his bottle and come running over for cuddle time. He loves to moo and roar at pictures of cows and lions. Ben is a sharer. If he has two binkies he will bring one to Will. He loves to shake his finger at Will and say "no-no". Ben is loud and just a little bit more sensitive then his big brother.

Will has just started to consider walking. For a bit, crawling was the way he could get there faster than Ben. But now that Ben is running he is getting to the finish line sooner. So last week, Will took 4 steps in a row. He's been doing the same about every day now. He finally seems interested in it! Will is a master climber. He can climb on the kitchen table faster than you can blink. When you tell him no he only gets more determined. He loves to steal Ben's binky and crawl away and giggle. He gets super excited when he sees balloons. Will loves to point and show you everything around you. From trees to buttons, the kid is very observant.

My boys might look alike, but they continue to show me they have their very own personalities. I love them more everyday!
