Nap time!

Ahem! I thought we were going to make sure he would sleep in his bed.

For the last several weeks, Andrew has been talking about having gum, "when I get bigger." Well, just the other day he brought me my pack of gum and asked if I wanted some. He helped me get a piece out and reiterated his schedule for future gum-chewing. I tore the stick of gum about one-third down and handed him the smaller piece. He looked confused and I told him that I thought he was probably big enough now to have some gum. His face just illuminated. I think it's the combination of being a big brother and now having gum that makes him feel really big. Unfortunately, I may have created a monster. He has had a piece of gum every day for the last three or four.

Blowing bubbles in the driveway

Can you ever out-grow bubbles?

Someone to watch over me.

When I originally went to get the camera, Cooper was asleep, too. Of course my movement woke him up, but he was too lazy to actually get up and see where I was going.

The couple faces of Matthew

Eating popsicles

Aunt Wanda gave Andrew some popsicle molds the other day. He finally badgered us enough to let him make some fudgsicles.

Matthew sleeping

He went down at 11:30 tonight, got up at 1:30 to eat, and went back down at 2:15 with minor cajoling.

Of course these pics were taken earlier today when he wanted to sleep.

Now I know why God makes them cute.

So you don't smother them when they scream.

Exhausting

How does a creature that can't stay awake for more than ten minutes at a time at any other point in the day manage to scream non-stop from 12am-2:30am?
