Ben has been a huge help keeping all the plants, bushes, weeds, leaves, and sidewalks watered. Every time he gets a chance he's asking Grammy to fill his little bucket.
Over the weekend each set of grandparents kept one of the boys and I got a chance to catch up with my girlfriends from college during our 11th annual weekend together. It started as a brunch many years ago and has evolved into a weekend trip since we live all over Texas (or the world) now. This year we chose College Station as our location since we all met while we were at Texas A&M and we enjoyed visiting our old stomping grounds. The last Aggie bonfire ever constructed fell while we were still students and we took the opportunity to visit the memorial to the 12 students that died.
It is a simple but beautiful tribute to the men and women that passed away during the tragedy.
It was wonderful for me to get away for the weekend and catch up with my friends, but by Sunday morning I was really missing the kiddos! Life just isn't the same without their chaos and activity.
Little Alex has been quite a busy guy. His legs are really strong and he can stand with very little assistance already. The balance needs a lot of work but I'm amazed that he already has the strength to hold himself up for several minutes at a time.
He is also turning into a cereal eating maniac. Over the weekend, he really caught on to the spoon feeding idea and can down a big bowl of cereal with no hesitation. He's now getting two meals a day and loving every bite. That big smile just melts my heart every time! He is such a sweet baby.
Alex is also becoming more interested in tummy time because he can lay for quite a while and be entertained by his toys without getting tired.
Ben is still in love with Abby and follows her around constantly. He picked out this toy for her at Target today and they had a great time playing together. Abby is still sleeping in hard to reach places but will surprisingly let Ben play with her in new and creative ways, like tonight at bathtime when he was trying to bathe her in Alex's bath water. I heard Ben saying "Abby take a bath" but didn't realize he was actually washing her until I walked in the bathroom and saw her wet fur.
He knows what Blue Bell ice cream is and enjoys a scoop after dinner every night....I'm doing the same thing!

Here's a look at him trying to figure out how to get those hands high enough to grab a toy. I can see a little more coordination and purposeful movement every day.
