Things have been pretty busy around here. I am not sure how or why but after looking through the pictures we have taken the last couple of weeks it has become very clear. My children do not sit still -at all!
Ian has not wanted to take naps anymore. I have somewhat accepted the fact that naps will not happen. It has become more of a stress to get him to take a nap, then to just have fun playing all day. However, if he does not take a nap I have to be sure to get him to bed no later than 6:45 or the moment he sits down this is what happens.
He was out cold for two and a half hours like this
As for Aaron it still baffles me that he is in the 17th percentile for weight. All this boy does is eat, eat, and eat. He even licks his plate clean.
This past week he started taking multiple steps -and thinks it is hilarious to walk. His personality is shining through as well. I know that the picture is blurry but do you see the expression! He is saying, "Get out of my way or I'll get you."
He has become quite the little trouble maker and can throw a loud tantrum when he does not get his way. It only last for a minute then he realizes we don't care that he has thrown himself to the floor screaming, and he moves on. With each wipe he pulled out he would giggle and reach in for another.
Aaron believes you should climb into or on top of everything (I blame the slide for this). When I give him the "what are you doing look" he giggles and runs away. 
He is getting very smart. I am seeing more and more of Ian coming through in his personality and actions. His vocabulary is expanding...mama, dada, eeeee (for Ian), iiiiiiii (for pike), ba ba (bottle), bye bye, nigh nigh, hi. ank u (thank you), um pa (grandpa), and um ma (grandma). He thinks it is funny to try and mimic you. When reading books to Ian and Aaron, Aaron will hold the book against his face and babble as loud as possible. He does the same thing with our phones. He has also finally started to pick up sign language and knows the signs for more, finished, and ba ba (which we also use for drink in general).
Ian was out playing in the neighbors giant sandbox while I was cleaning up dinner the other night. I had Aaron inside with me and he enjoyed trying to watch Ian from the window with Pike.
While washing the dishes I notice him walk over to the chair. He then slid the chair over to the window and climbed up to see better. Honestly???? Smart little bugger. I would like to say maybe he saw his brother doing this but Ian doesn't need chairs to see out the windows. He did this one all on his own.
The weather the last couple of weeks has been perfect. We have been able to enjoy going to the different parks around here and cannot decide which is our favorite. Ian and Aaron loves what we call the spinning park in Alpine. It has ton's of various playground equipment that all spins. This one is Ian's favorite! It spins extremely fast, I am not sure how he stays on it so well.
Ian has come to really love swinging too. I had never put Aaron on the swings before but as you can see from the picture he too loved it! Ian wanted to help push him and did a great job. He even was able to give him a couple underdog pushes (Ian's favorite).
Video of Ian pushing Aaron in the swing.
We have been trying to soak up all the time that we can outside because we know that it will soon end. Hopefully we can get in a few more trips to the park before it snows!
