Brothers
I got the urge to go in and look at the boys sleeping before going to bed myself tonight. Here is what I saw:
We had a rough night as a family with the bedtime routine. Jack went to sleep pretty upset - largely because we didn't sing as a family (taken away due to silliness in the middle of our family devotion).
I went into their room to console Jack and calm him down. I told him that he could sing to himself ,or if he asked, Theo might sing with him. A few minutes later I heard both boys singing 'All My Days'. It was really cute to hear, but little did I know that they were in the same bed. Evidently Jack moved down to Theo's bed which to my knowledge has never happened before.
As I sat there looking at them tonight, I prayed, 'Lord please make them close friends their whole lives.' My siblings are some of my closest friends and it is one of my greatest desires as a parent.

Missing Daddy
When Charles was in the US last month we took this video of Addie. It was about the first night after he left and she just kept saying 'da da'. I got the camera out and then you guessed it -- she stopped doing it. I got her to do it at the beginning, but then she went camera shy on us. It is still worth a post:

Go Addie
Guess who turns 18 months old today? And guess who took their first steps yesterday? Yes, Adelaide!
We read somewhere that the normal walking age for babies is anywhere between 10-18 months. Anything between that range is normal and outside that is 'early' or 'late' with the average being 14 months. After reading this, we were wondering whether Addie would make 'normal', and we are happy to report we have a 'normal' walker, barely!
Last night before bedtime, she stood up by Charles and walked six very deliberate steps to me. She was very chuffed with herself. We then tried to get the video camera out, but she was definitely done walking for the night. Maybe today we will be able to capture this walking on camera.
Go Addie!
