Whenever I go anywhere with boys I ALWAYS get stopped by people making comments and asking questions such as: Are they twins? How old are they? Are they identical? Who's older? What are their names? Where did they get their red hair? Are they always this happy? (NO WAY!) Oh, they're so cute! I love the red hair! Etc. etc. This morning at Costco was no exception. There simply aren't words-or time- enough to describe each of these little guys and their different personalities. Here's an attempt in a few words.
Andrew LOVES to lay boxes flat & jump all over them
ANDREW
Favorite snack: Anything, especially 'fishies'

Favorite breakfast: Anything requiring syrup, especially Dutch Baby
Favorite playtime activity: Climbing on everything
Shoe size: 6, almost 7
Weight: abt. 24 lbs at last check
Length: abt 33.5 in, at last check
Attention span: Very short of course; goes from one thing to another in seconds

Has to sleep with his blankie & doggie
When TV is on he's clueless to anything around him
Prefers to be spoon fed (especially if TV is on) then self fed
Say the word 'prayer' and he quickly folds his arms and bows his head
Can spot Jesus in any picture and will say, "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!"
Curios about EVERYthing and ANYthing
Loves to climb on shelves, hide in cupboards or closets
Loves to hug, grab, rough house with his brother (his brother doesn't like it in return)
Has an infectious laugh
Fearless
Teaser
Angel
Aaron's domain is the play kitchen- he loves, loves, LOVES it
AARON
Favorite snack: crunchy Veggie Sticks
Favorite toy: Anything with a lid or cap; the new play kitchen
Favorite parent: Mommy; total Mama's boy
Favorite food: Chicken nuggets or Peanut Butter Jelly (PBJ) sandwich
Favorite playtime activity: the new play kitchen- he reigns and lets Andrew know it
Favorite breakfast: Anything requiring syrup, especially Dutch Baby
Shoe size: 5, almost 6
Weight: abt 21.5 lbs, at last check
Length: abt 33.5 in, at last check
Attention span: Short, of course, but when learning a new skill (caps on pens, stacking cups, buckling high chair, etc.) he will stick to it until he figures it out
Average nap time: 1 hr. (drives me crazy!); not unusual to have no nap
Temperament: When happy, he's HAPPY; when mad, he's MAD
# of words known: very few
Bath time favorite: Pouring water from measuring cup to pitcher, over & over & over again
Favorite book: Probably Goodnight Moon
Word most often said: Daddy (in reference to a phone) Note: When they first began saying words telephones were: Tah. Then all of a sudden they started calling them Daddy. Whenever I was feeding them lunch I'd pick up the phone and say, "Let's call Daddy" and I'd call Steve, since they were busy and buckled down. But Aaron is OBSESSED with phones.
Wakes up: Screaming, until I pick him up. Then he's instantly happy and talking.
Wake up time: Between 6:15 & 7:15
Others: Has to always be holding something
Gives kisses on the lips
Eats great with a spoon/fork
Doesn't care to watch TV
Laughs easily, at almost anything
When we pray together he's talking, playing, clueless
Biter
Bully
VERY VERY ticklish
SO much fun
Aaron & Andrew in their brand new play kitchen just minutes upon discovering it...
Happy one minute...
Sad the next.
I've had to break up more 'fights' in an hour than in the last year. They have so not learned how to share.
