just sending new pics!

These boys are SERIOUSLY funny!
Matthew has to sit in time out too! And then look at him climbing on the stove! Yikes. Cooking has not been the same. He climbs everything. The brother hugging shot is just priceless! And then they like to sit at their little table together and have snack.
So Thomas just recognized the letter J and the sound of the letter Q. Too much! That is big stuff. Still has no idea what the color red is from one day to the next, but if you ask him if a ladybug is like James (red) - a train from Thomas the Tank engine, then he might say "YEAH." He latest love is Marry Poppins. If I knew how to upload video, I would show you all how he dances to "Step in Time!" He kicks just like Dick Van Dike and twirls like Julie Andrews. So funny!
Matthew is talking. He has quite a few words now. Cheese, juice, truck, dog, all done and so on. He is picking up new tricks everyday! Like eating dirt! We think this bad habit allowed him to stay resistant to a stomach virus that Scott, Thomas and I all had last week! So bad, but little Matthew, just a fever.
The boys are now sharing a room. Thomas asked yesterday if Matthew's crib could be in his room and now they are together. They are really starting to play together too. They still fight a lot, but they have some moments of serious cuteness. Like today. I put each boy in their respective sleeping places and left the room. They were making each other laugh and Thomas was copying Matthew by making baby sounds. Totally funny. I let them just hang out and giggle for awhile. Then I went in and took Matthew to the the back room to put him to sleep while T fell asleep in his bed. So they are napping at the same time today! Nice! Well, until the next update!
Love to all of you!
Also sending a special prayer and a hello out to the Voltin family. Our friend Ryan (a Marine Cobra pilot) was seriously injured in a helicopter training accident in Amman, Jordan. Ryan is now being treated in San Antonio, Texas where his wife and children can be close by. So Happy Birthday Jaida and kisses to Maya! And Pam, sending you good labor karma for baby #3 due at the end of July. They have a lot going on in their lives, but they are a fantastic family who will make it through this incredibly tough time!
