Busy Busy Boys!

I can't believe it but this week Levi turns 10 months and Judah turns 28 months. Sometimes I stare at them in disbelief-I can't believe these two little rambunctious ones are ours! Lately they have become busier than ever. Here's a little update:

Judah
1. Truly a little kid now-as you can see from the picture he has turned into quite the ham. He makes all kinds of funny faces now and tries really hard to get me to laugh at him...especially when he knows he is in trouble!

2. Super bilingual boy! I am so proud of him these days as his vocabulary in both languages has really taken off! He can count to ten in both English and Spanish (his favorite number is still "ocho")! He even recognizes a few of his numbers and can tell you several colors as well. Thanks to his cousins Carmen and Sofia, he is learning almost as much English as he is Spanish!

3. Disney Pixar's movie Cars has just about superseded Mickey Mouse Clubhouse around here. He still likes Mickey but Lightning McQueen and Mater are head to head with the mouse with big ears!

4. Goes non stop all day long! He has so much energy now it has really taken me off guard. Throwing, climbing, kicking, jumping, tackling, running ("on your mark, set, go!" as he says), and just plain being a boy-this describes his daily activities. On occasion he has begun to play a little rough with some of his toys too...this is new territory for mom...

5. Lately he has taken a new interest in "pez" (fish). He knows Stevie goes fishing and when Stevie hasn't been around lately, he asks me if he went to catch a fish. Makes me laugh!

6. Is on his way to being potty trained...although the road still looks long to both Stevie and me!

Levi

1. Oh boy-Levi is constant motion! Although he knows how to crawl up on all fours, he still prefers his army crawl at lighting speed. But what he most prefers these days is pulling up to standing on whatever he can get near and cruising. He spends most of the day cruising along furniture, people, the wall-whatever! He tries to let go sometimes and take a step on his own but he falls. I think he'll be on his way to walking soon...

2. Still loves to eat (as evident by the picture). Yes that is a black bean on his right temple and rice in his nose.

3. Has been sleeping through the night for a month or more and is still nursing during the day-10 months and going strong!

4. Can be very LOUD! Often times he likes to be loud in the car by yelling at Judah. If Judah is asleep he likes to yell at him and try to wake him up. Judah being the hard sleeper that he is could care less.

5. Still only likes to sign the word for fan. Just smiles real big at me when I try to get him to sign mami, milk, eat or more. I think he knows what he's doing...

6. Just like his big brother, Levi makes funny faces. If you stare at him for about more than 3 seconds, he begins to either snort and smile or scrunch up his nose and smile. Another favorite face is the one he makes when he doesn't want to eat something-he is super dramatic about it. He doesn't simply turn his head away-he throws his head back to one side as far as possible, squints his eyes, scrunches his nose as if you just put the foulest smelling object in the world under it, and purses those big lips. It really is hilarious! I'm hoping to catch it on video soon...

Oh how I love my sweet BUSY boys!
