a day in the life

Beyond excited that Lucas's midget feet FINALLY (kind of) fit into his Sunday shoes. He is 10 months old and still wearing size 2 (these shoes are size 3).
Lucas has been something of an odd-ball lately. Tips his head all the way back to laugh. Arches his back until his toes touch his head. Steals Joel's food and toys when Joel is not looking. Drinks from a sippy cup, but lets the water trickle down his face while laughing. Laughs with pride and joy when "conquering" the stairs. LOVES climbing on Joel's bed and jumping up & down while holding on to the the foot-board (video below). Took his first few steps today, but was completely unaware of what he was doing. Laughed after the fact. Lucas is my little goof.
Joel has been repeating words and phrases like crazy. Usually you can only understand the first and/or last words of his phrases, but he is starting to string words together. He knows his ABC's. Sings the song and only misses one or two letters (D and N, usually). Recognizes every letter and can point them all out. Is learning to spell his name (without having it drilled into him). Knows shapes and animals. Has strong OCD tendencies (wonder where that comes from...). Joel is my smarty pants.

Wow... talented is an understatement for describing you! I'm inspired to do more each day. If you can do it with two rascals, then I can too!

I've loved getting to know you better the last few weeks. Thank you for your friendship and example.

Oh my goosness, I can't believe I found you on here! I have to just say that your little family of boys is absolutely adorable! And it seems like you haven't changed a bit! Looks like you're doing great!
