You see a little guy playing with Legos...
I see an intent face...eyebrows furled...tongue hanging out...a little guy concentrating so hard to coordinate all these fine motor movements. Alex just in the past 6 mos started having the attention span, hand strength and dexterity to play independently & at length with Legos. Simple milestone for some...incredible sense of pride and accomplishment here!
You see two happy, silly brothers...
I see two tired, frustrated parents because these yahoos wouldn't pose nicely for a Christmas Card picture!!! 41 shots later, I found one where they looked reasonably angelic :)
You see 2 skinny, rib-popping Wooden boys...
I see progress! Fall physical reports Tanner at 44th percentile BMI and Alex at 27th percentile...both up from less than 5th percentile in their first year of life! Hooray for force feeding and overcoming sensory aversions :)
You see a proud Alex having a sucker on top of his fantastic pillow pit that he and Tanner built one winter evening (includes every pillow and blanket from our entire house...including all beds). I love Alex's sign). He likes to X out things that he doesn't like or are not true. In this case, the pit was complete so he wrote Coming Soon and crossed it out. Silly kid.
I see Tanner sleeping deep inside the same pillow pit under Alex. All that sensory input relaxes him right to sleep :) Jim carried him to bed that night...sound asleep.
