Boys Will Be Boys

First, the awesome hat made by our adopted family and neighbors- too cute! Can't wait for cooler weather so we can wear it out :) hehe.. and check out his pjs- those would be size 12-18 months (Baby Gap)- prime example of the difference in sizes between clothing brands- insane!

Ahhhh... A Sunday with the boys- and I'm starting (continuing?) to see glimpses into the future of having a boy. What another world it really is compared to a baby girl. Yeah, the parts are different, the clothing is different, the colors and styles are different... but even beyond the nature vs. nurture question, you start to see the gender personalities emerge. The main one being- T-R-O-U-B-L-E. These boys are constantly into something- anything- even if nothing at all... they are the reason all those warning labels are affixed to baby gear and things of the sort. If something can be broken, swallowed, chewed on, or fallen out of- they will find it. It is "Do Not Leave Child Unattended" to the nth degree.

The perfect example is the swing. Chase could care less about it- but his cousin has lived in it in the past- it being my small lifeline to sanity when babysitting. Ahhh- but if he is not sleeping- forget about it- he thinks it's his personal seat and "big  boy" swing to jump around in. It became a game tonight for him to try to touch the ground, to throw the pacifier out and lean over to try to get it... ways to know a baby is too big for products- this kid is crazy! He is still just over 5 months- what the heck am I supposed to do with him??? :)

Then, we insert the ever evolving mobile boys. Now that they are both able to sit on their own, they can sit and stare at each other- or whack each other with toys- or grab at each other's shirts/hair/heads... I believe Daddy set it up as a 3 round boxing match (ahem... )...

If they weren't bad enough- you throw in the bigger boys- the daddy's, uncles, grandparents, and so on- who are obviously just kids trapped in big, old bodies (hahahaha)- and you have a stinkin' circus :) Can't complain about lack of entertainment though, because who better to make us laugh, eh?
