They're growing SO fast!!!

I've really got to get better about writing on this!!!

OK... Austin is growing up too fast. He is completely crawling now, and he can go from his stomach or back to a sitting position in the blink of an eye. He does not topple over at all anymore; the only time he "falls" is when Aidan comes over and helps him. Aidan likes to "hug" Austin and watch him fall over. He is also starting to try to pick him up and carry him. Austin absolutely LOVES Aidan though, and normally he laughs when Aidan is playing with him. The newest item that I need to video is how much Austin laughs whenever Aidan brushes his teeth. He just cracks up, and I have no idea what it is that he is laughing about. The good thing is, Aidan likes it so much that he brushes his teeth for an extra long time!!! Tonight they took a bath together for the first time. They've been in the bathtub together before, but this is the first time that they have both played in the tub. Austin was rolling over on his stomach and splashing so much. It was hard being a single parent for it because I really wanted to call downstairs to have Jared bring the video camera up for all the laughing and splashing going on. I'll have to remember to bring the video camera up tomorrow night for it!

Austin's most recent triumph has been pulling himself in to a standing position. He did it for the first time the day before yesterday. He has done it every day since then, and his legs are getting much less shaky while he stands now. He is clapping all the time now. Whenever he puts a toy down, he claps his hands as if he is discovering that they are empty and doesn't know what to do with them. When we got back from Jacksonville late last night, he opened his eyes and the first thing he did was clap his hands - even though he wasn't even awake yet! :-)

Aidan is showing a great sense of humor. He purposely does and says things now in order to get me to laugh. He loves to tell me that I'm driving him crazy because I always laugh so much.

I'll leave it at that for now with the promise that I will come back and post pictures and more info. about my two beautiful boys!
