3 Years and 6 Months

Big week 'round these parts - these two little monkeys are turning 3 years and 6 months old! Here are the first in a series of portraits I am plan to take at 6 month intervals of the two brothers as they grow up together (if I say it out loud, I have to do it, right?)





And since this blog is taking the place of that sweet hard copy baby book I feel that I should be doing, here are some notes on Hank and Gus at these ages for me to weep over later.


Hank, age 3:
  • Enjoys playing with legos, blocks, trains and cars
  • Particularly enjoys playing "barista" with the coffee maker that his dad made for him out of legos.  Talk about a city kid.
  • Likes to chase and tickle mommy until she falls down begging him to stop.
  • His day is not complete unless he has touched Gus' eyeball at least once.
  • Still not potty trained, but knows how to remove his own diaper when he wants to.  Which is often. 
  • Still in his crib, but in the habit of removing his sleep sack (aka the restraining jacket) and starting to try and climb out. 
  • Loves the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
  • Asks his parents for money.  When we say "for what?" he says, "for Hank."  Duh.
  • Has started saying "Hey!" and "Yeah"

Gus, age 6 months:
  • Has mastered the art of rolling over and does so whenever he can.  Can no  longer be left unattended on any surface not the floor.
  • Not quite sitting up on his own yet.  I will help him assume the position but when I stop supporting him he slowly folds over on himself.
  • Enjoys sucking his own toes and chewing on his shoes.
  • Has the worlds most luscious eye lashes and brightest blue eyes.  Strangers stop this child and comment on his baby blues.
  • Blabs away endlessly, mostly at meal times.  Is he complaining about the food or praising it?  I fear the former...
  • Still no hair...
  • Thinks his big brother is high-larious...except when he does this:
