Best Buddies

It has been so much fun for me to watch these two become friends.

Now that Marissa is mobile,
she likes to be right where he is playing with whatever he's playing with
And that's the way he wants it to be most of the time
They do have their squabbles over toys
She is usually the aggressor, he usually takes a more defensive strategy and scoots away if he knows she wants something of his or blocks her with his body
They sure do love each other
Everything is always more fun when the other is involved
He does things to try to get her to laugh and make her happy when she's crying, and today he fell out of his chair and was crying and she came crawling over to give him some love. (Though she does often think it's funny when he's upset and likes to imitate him ha ha)
They look like my little twins but it is funny to see their different personalities form and see how different they are from each other.  One that would still gladly be spoon fed and one that already demands to feed herself.
One that squeals in delight when I turn on the vacuum and one that hides on the couch.  One that would sit on my lap and read books for hours and one that would rather destroy them.  Not better or worse, just different, and I'm finding it's true what they say that love multiplies.

I never would have thought how defined some of their personalities are right from when they're born until I saw it for myself. It's fun to see how different they are from each other.

so funny how different they are! landon does the same thing, just blocks austin or moves away! haha. and the fact that shane would like to be spoon fed, haha sooo funny. we still do sometimes for landon if eating dinner is just too daunting! pathetic! we even have to remind him to swallow between bites on tough nights! haha. looks like a nice little christmas on your own. we were basically alone too and it's kind of nice i think. and honey lime chicken enchiladas are my FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!! we eat them at least once a month!!
