Gavin being a tattle tale as always!
But going on vacation does have it's up and downs and this was one downer!! Gavin got pretty sick after we got home and had to have breathing treatments. It was miserable, this was one of his calm moments, but we had to hold that mask on him for 10 min 4 times a day..yeah right!! He was not having it, it was usually a fight the entire time. Those 10 minutes each seemed like an hour, it was so sad!
This is what dinner time looks like and starts out! This pic below is a perfect example. Gavin who holds onto his blankie for dear life and Ayden freaking out until his food is in front of him..our hungry boy! Gavin now has just started to give his blankie willingly as soon as he is ready to eat which has been great with out all the tricking to get it away and tantrums that go with it!
The boys have started to use theire utensils. Gavin is a pro now, for a 18 1/2 month old, and Ayden our sweet MESSY little boy, he does ok, but seems to still prefer the hand method a little better! He was messy as a baby and nothing has changed!
The boys eating their Nanas
Here is a clip of the boys eating yogurt for the first time by themselves. I know they are both a mess, but just look at the difference between Ayden's mess and Gavin's mess
PLAY TIME!!
Ayden is our pushing machine!! If he can push it, off it goes! The best part is Gavin loves being pushed so it makes for a great partnership!
Gavin's taking all the right steps... Door shut..check...
Blankie...Check...
Now he's ready to go...
To their own personal Drive-In!
This was so funny, they were being so cute together and talking and laughing through their windows.
Our boys pretty much have two of everything, but they still fight over the same thing..even after I show them there are TWO!! I wish I understood!
Gavin is protecting his car because he can tell what Ayden is thinking and he knows what's coming next...
Gavin gets so ticked!! Ayden bumps his way in and scoots him right out..I'd be mad too, but it cracks me up how determined Ayden is. If you take him out he kicks and screams, even after showing him the same EMPTY car right next to Gavin...most of the time, I just have to laugh to get through their fighting.
Here are some cute misc. video clips of the boys playing
Cousins!! The boys always love when they see their cousins. It is nice to have them here so the boys have some family that they are familiar with.
Here is a cute clip of their cousin Ellie and Gavin
Jordan took these pictures of the boys eating cheerios off our nasty floor....
All Fueled up and ready to go!
I thought the box phase would end, I guess not!
CAUGHT IN ACTION!!
It's all over there face in this picture. I obviously wasn't being a very watchful mom on this day!
First they throw...
Then they jump...this is what happens when I don't fold my laundry quick enough! Don't worry the piles are typically bigger these days.
Daddy Time
As you can tell this is a very intense game ...
Jordan is such a great Dad. Even though he has been so busy with work and school, he always tries to make time with the boys. The boys favorite time with their Dad is when he reads to them.
As you can tell, if you look closely Ayden is very intense when it comes to his animal noises.

Right here it looks like they are making their Owl sounds =). They are getting very good at knowing their animals and animal noises, we are excited to take them to the Zoo this year.
Here's Ayden giving Dad a BIG hug, our boys give such great hugs!
This is Jordan and Ayden, they love being thrown in the air by Dad, mom can't seem to get them as high!
Here is a clip of the boys using come of their words. The word they use most often is "Uh-Oh" I'll hear them in their room during nap and all of a sudden hear them both say "uh-oh" repeatedly. Usually that means a blanket or binki has been dropped. The ther day I was at the store calling Jordan and he had ran downstairs for a min and when he came up and saw the phone rining both of the boys were pointing at the phone saying "Uh-Oh". So it is a pretty common word around here. They can also make a fish sound and say "Ish" other words they say are doggie and duck pretty clear, but words like drink they say "ink" and binki they say "nki" the way they say it though acctually sounds more like a sound than a word.
