oh my goodness, babies change so fast! i have been having so much fun staying home with these guys all but 2 days a week (gotta make that money, money). they keep me laughing (with the occasional scolding) all day.
smith is in such a fun stage right now. he is really trying to mimic most all words that come out of charlie or my mouth. he has also started making so many new expressions, especially when he says...."no, no, no" (which i'm sure he has picked up from me. he is quite the little helper and will help me with any chore outside and most chores inside. we sweep the porch together on almost a daily basis. and inside, if i have a windex bottle and give him a rag, he will help me clean all around the house....as long as i don't forget to spray (so he can wipe up). smith was not much of a cuddler as a baby, but thankfully this has changed a bit. he will now spontaneously lay his head on your shoulder or come up and hug or kiss you. it does not get much better than that. this weekend, while we were shopping at ikea, i had to feed bode...so i just sat down in a corner and nursed him. during this, smith kept coming up to me, putting his arm around me and having me put his head on his shoulder...i about melted (and not from the warm baby that was nursing on me :) ). physically, smith is killing it. he can pretty much go up/down curbs by himself and is really good at going up/down hills in our backyard. he loves to climb up anything he sees and also runs most places (especially big stores like sam's, ikea, home depot). love, love, love this big boy!
bode....oh, bode...he is a doll. the picture below pretty much sums it up. he is such an easy baby and so, so happy. he is sleeping through the night from 8 to about 6 or 7 with waking once for a little nursing action. so, mommy is so happy and getting her rest. he is holding his head up great, but we haven't started rice cereal yet...maybe soon. i'm really not in a big hurry with him which is so different than i was with smith. he is much more laid back in general...not in a big hurry to learn and roll because he is just content. smith had a lot of energy even at this age of 4 months, but bode is a little less active. smith would lay on his back and just flail...i think to get the energy out, but bode is pretty chill and will just look around. he is a joy and in much love with his older brother....and mommy and daddy, of course :)
