Avocado Anyone?!?

Last night the boys tried their first fruit!! Avocado was on the menu and while they both ate some of it, Jordan really enjoyed it the most. He ate all of his and some of his brothers! Then there was some milk left, and I decided that Jordan might be thirsty after all that food.  He actually HATES the bottle and cries sometimes when he just sees one.  Well, he must've been thirsty because he drank ALL the milk and when I tried to take the bottle away, grabbed for it like he wanted more... maybe we are turning a corner?!?  

Overall they are doing really well. I enjoy waking up everyday and seeing what the day holds. They both seem to be working on getting some teeth, but none have popped through quite yet. They are smiling and laughing pretty much every waking moment and both are starting to try to sit up a little bit. They both still need some support, but I'm amazed how fast time is going by and how fast they are changing and growing.

Jordan's new nickname from Nana (Grandma Schmidt might change her name to Nana... we'll see) is Sweet 'n Sour. He can be just as happy as can be one moment, then the next he is screaming louder than you would expect could come from such a small guy. His favorite things continue to be watching his 'little' brother constantly, holding his hand whenever Landon lets him, whenever anyone sings to him (and trust me, anyone... both Eric and I can't carry a tune, but he sure loves when we sing anyway) and putting whatever he can into his mouth. My favorite time of day with him is late afternoon when he should really take a quick catnap before bed, but would rather smile and laugh at mommy. We put him in the swing, and I sit on the floor next to it and sing to him. He just smiles and laughs, then cries loudly when I try to sneak away to eat dinner with Eric. He is starting to really get sensitive when I walk away or don't give him attention. It makes a mommy feel so special and needed :)

Landon continues to be quite an active little guy. He is constantly moving around and now rolling across the floor whenever we put him down. Sometimes he will try to roll right over Jordan which is pretty funny since Jordan doesn't move around too much and just watches as he is getting smashed :) Landon still has a raspy cute little voice and loves to chatter up a storm even sometimes when he's supposed to be eating. This is probably why he doesn't eat as much as Jordan, he just has too much to say! Landon really loves his daddy in a special way. Whenever Eric gets home from work, or wakes up in the afternoon, he's sure to get some giggles from Landon even if he was just fussing for me. Eric likes to lift him up over his head, and ... gasp even toss him in the air a little. Landon REALLY loves it and you can tell he is gonna be a daredevil! He is also very ticklish and will belly laugh if you tickle his little neck. He is such a special little boy, and I'm so blessed to have 2 such different sweet personalities.
