Ricky seems to love Billy. He lets me know “baby crying” and then says “I comin’ baby.” Ricky just loves all boys. We ate lunch at a McDonald’s play center last week and you could hear Ricky calling “Come on, boy” to the other boys playing there too. This particular play center had a very long tunnel slide and Ricky seemed to have no fear going down head first. A couple of months ago, when he had his first experience with a tunnel slide, the other boys were going head first and now Ricky thinks that is how you go down that type of slide. He doesn’t go down traditional slides head first, just the tunnel kind.
Billy is starting to smile! We have to work to get them still, but they are worth it. Sometimes the beginnings of a giggle comes with the smile. Today he was sleeping, smiling, and Billy gave me a little laugh. He just gets more and more cute every day.
I was doing some weeding outside one day and Ricky was off playing in the dirt. Billy was hanging out on the grass practicing his sleeping cowboy pose–hat over head and all.
Ricky climbs over and jumps on anything he can. My legs are one of his favorite things to climb over. Yesterday, he decided to create his own Lazy Boy recliner out of my propped up legs. After 20 minutes of him sitting there, I began to feel like I had 100 pounds on my legs instead of 31 pounds.
Ricky has found the fun of doctor toys. He especially likes using the reflex hammer.
I bought a play mat for Billy. I opened it, set it up, placed Billy on the little pillow, and seconds later, Ricky ran to get his pillow from his room and plopped himself right next to Billy. It came with some stuffed bugs and Billy has barely had a chance to look at them because Ricky loves them so much. There is a butterfly, a bee, a ladybug teether, and a stuffed lady bug, although Ricky calls it a ” ay-hopper” (grasshopper).
It is a good thing Duchess only weighs about 6 pounds! I was taking pictures of Duchess rubbing herself on Billy’s hand so he would “pet” her when she decided to stand on him.
Kevin looks too cute with his littlest boy!
A two year old can get comfortable anywhere!
A two month old can, too!
