The Last Days of Summer




Oh, my sweet little boys... no longer tiny babies. We have had so much fun playing outside and exploring the world around us this summer! From playing in the sand, picking up leaves, sticks and grass, feeling dirt squish between our toes... to chasing squirrels and hunting for trees... we've had a rich summer. In the top photo: Dex- left; Jax- right.

I'm constantly amazed at how and when the boys choose to interact with each other. This morning, they chased each other saying, "Ba ba ba!" as loudly as they could. Each time one would say it, the other would giggle with pleasure. In the photo above, the boys were learning to cooperate by pushing the stroller together. What a thrilling game. Oh, the squeals of delight that accompanied this new endeavor! On the right, Dex contemplates eating a leaf. Yes, EVERYTHING still goes in their mouths... perhaps they just like to see how fast Mom's reflexes are? I've also included photos of the boys practicing their silly faces... Jax on the left and Dex on the right.

The boys are famous for their bear-walk! They rarely crawl when they're outside... rather, they move around on their hands and feet, like little bears. It's quite a scene to behold... and it's amazing how quickly they can get around like this!
