Pears and Bananas for Lunch Today!

I really, really need to remember to shut the baby gate before I go upstairs to clean. This is really good news all the way around, though.

1. Matthew actually remembered to peel the bananas before eating them.
2. We're going to get a lot of fruit in our diet today.
3. He went after the fruit and not the cookies in the cupboard above the fruit bowl!

There are days I am glad he doesn't have a twin!

Foreshadowing...

Matthew doesn't like Nolan "touching him." Nolan loves to pat and play like any other almost-six month old baby, and loves Matthew's high pitched whine in response to his pats. And so sibling-hood has begun at our house. With pats by one and annoyed whines by the other. I suspect learning to talk will only offer clarity to the grievances rather than solve them!

In these moments, I see our future road trips to favorite vacation destinations:

Nolan: (poke, poke)

Matthew: "He's touching me!"

Nolan: (stares)

Matthew: "He's LOOKING at me!"

I Have So Much

Sometimes I look at these little guys and can't believe how incredibly blessed I am...
