My Big Boys!!

Surprise Surprise my post is once again about my two crazy boys!! They are currently what makes my life exciting!

Sweet and crazy Jax is now 18 months!!! He can now legally go to nursery!

Here are Jax's 18 month stats...

Height: 33 1/2 inches (85th percentile)

Weight: 24 lb. 13 oz (30th percentile)

Height to Weight: (15 percentile)

Head: 47.7 cm (40th percentile)

At eighteen months Jax is quite the talker! He loves to mimic everything you say (I am now having to watch my tongue a little closer). The words we hear most often: Mya, airplane, snack, outside, car, Hi, vroom and so many more. Jax loves to sing songs and dance, and we often find him doing the actions to "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and trying to say the words. Jax is honestly one of the most obedient children I know and surprisingly listens very well. He loves to be told that he is a good boy and hates to be in trouble. Jax is still extremely active and loves to run and jump. He loves to help and clean up. Jax has become a little OCD about putting toys away and putting them where he thinks they should go. Jax gives the best loves and kisses! We love him so much and could not imagine our little family without him!

Mr. Bennett is our independent, busy, and bruised child!

Bennett's 9 month stats...

Height: 27 3/4 inches (40th percentile)

Weight: 20 lb. 10 oz (55th percentile)

Height to Weight: (80th percentile)

Head: 47.3 cm (90th percentile)

Bennett will not slow down. I believe he is bound and determined to keep up with Jax. He still constantly has bruises on his poor little head from running into everything, falling down and bonking heads with his brother. Bennett is now pulling himself up to everything. He is already trying to let go and balance, he will stand on his own for several seconds. He is cruising around furniture and getting into everything. Bennett is very social and loves to watch people. He is constantly gabbing and laughing. Bennett has become very very independent, which is driving his mommy and daddy crazy. He refuses to be fed from a spoon and wants to eat on his own. This is making it awfully hard to get his baby cereal down him. Meal time is not always a happy time at our house. Bennett is constantly following his brother around the house. Where Jax is, Bennett is close behind! Bennett now says: Mama, Dada, and ball. Bennett now officially has 2 teeth. We are so grateful for this crazy busy baby! We love him so so much!

Being Silly

I am loving watching my boys become more and more attached to one another. They are the cutest little buddies that I have ever seen. They are constantly laughing at each other. The other day I was driving and honestly I have no clue what they found so funny, but they were both laughing hysterically. I love hearing both of their cute little giggles. It's moments like this that make me so so grateful for God's timing and for having my babies so close in age. I hope they will always be like this!

What's New???

We have had a few crazy busy days. I feel like my babies are constantly changing and are growing up way too fast.

First Tooth
Bennett got his first tooth this week and has one more that is about to break through. I have been dreading this day, since the day he was born. First of all I hate the whole teething experience and the grouchy days and sleepless nights. Honestly Bennett has not been bad, I didn't even know one was coming until it broke through. Secondly I have been dreading teeth and nursing. Luckily he hasn't bit me yet, so wish us luck!

"Busy Ben"
Bennett is getting busier by the day. He is now pulling himself up on to everything. Yesterday he stood up in the bath. Bennett is impossible to change and get dressed. He rolls over so fast and is quick at getting away.

This is not an uncommon site at our house! He is way to quick and runs! My sister has renamed him "Busy Ben", because he seriously does not ever stay still.

Big Boy Bed

So we finally have a new piece of furniture in our house. Jax has been sleeping on a mattress and boxspring on the floor. He did really well transitioning from his crib. We finally ordered and got his big boy bed. Last night was his first night in his bunkbed.

Jax loves his bed! When he walks in his room he says "bed, bed". He looks so tiny in it!

Between the bunkbed and crib, the boys room is pretty full.

My Little Helper

Jax is becoming quite the helper bee!! He loves to follow and copy everything you do. I am constantly reminding myself that he is learning and to let him help.

Jax loves to sweep and mop.

Helping mommy cook! Jax has figured out how to push chairs around the kitchen to get up to the counter. As obnoxious as it is to have him helping all the time, it is kind of cute. He is getting so big and independent.

My Crazy Sleeper

Bennett is becoming a very crazy sleeper. He no longer stays swaddled. He manages to break his arms loose.

He loves to hold on to something, it usually ends up being his puppy.

His little foot hanging out made me giggle. Jax always slept like this and Bennett is following his footsteps.
