The sweet boys

Let's see, what's new? Not too much. We still have not reached full night sleeping on a regular basis. But, we have the one wee hours waking and he is usually going until after 5 the next time. (I have totally just jinxed us for the weekend and he'll be up at all hours.)

Cameron is starting to expect his cereal in the evening and is eating it better and better. He seems to be cutting teeth off and on all the time. Chewing two of his fingers is a new favorite move. Oh, and pulling his pacifier out of his mouth and playing with it or throwing it on the floor. He will not stay where I put him on the floor and so I have to be careful and watch that he doesn't crash into the very heavy legs of the coffee table. He'll turn and creep and scoot his way around to look at things. The other day he wanted to explore a plastic train of big brother's.

Big brother Caleb was especially sweet the other day. He was offering Cameron's burp cloth to him and called it his "blankie" but I said it wasn't really his blankie. That he doesn't actually have one. (He's got lots of quilts and blankets so what was I thinking?) But, Caleb promptly said that he had a blankie for him and ran and got his own treasured Cars blanket. He brought it back and gently covered up his brother with it. Did a very good job too. It was the sweetest moment.

Watching the two boys together is such a delight because they really do already enjoy each other in a special way. I know that sibling rivalry will come but at the same time I cannot wait for them to be old enough to really play together more. I know my sister and I had such great adventures playing together over the years. I can't even imagine what these two boys will do. I am hoping that they will settle down and play and NOT always jump on the couch and climb on things like a jungle gym. I swear Caleb is part monkey and watching "Curious George" all the time is of course no help. But, I hope that they continue to enjoy each other and want to be friends.

I guess we'll see what the future holds over time. For now, just trying to find simple moments in the day to slow down and savor.

Hope everyone is doing well!!! Talk to you soon.
