Update on the Boys

Jumping Jude

He picked out a pair of tie shoes yesterday (instead of the usual velcro).  Before he chose them, he ran in them in the store to see how fast he was.  He looks like such a big boy while wearing them.  Now he just has to learn how to tie them. 

Leaping Levi

His speech is exploding.  As of yesterday, he started saying his own name.  Yesterday he said, “Levi too” instead of his usual, “I too.”  So cute!  I find that when comes up with the words to ask for something, I have the hardest time not giving into his cute requests to watch Cars 2, drink pop or eat Panera cake or cookies. 

Amazing Asher (aka Acrobatic Asher, Bouncing Bobo, Mr. Grabby (he likes to grab everything))

His 6 tooth has almost busted through and he is through with crawling.  Only walking now.  He loves waving at people.  He also has a way to say “hand it over” when we are eating something.  He makes a fist and then extends his fingers out and in.  We’ve even seen him take his food out of his mouth and do his ‘hand it over to me’ gesture asking for some of our big people food.  I like to tell him, “You couldn’t be any cuter if you tried,” which is so true.
