Grabby little hands

Dear Luke, (you get to go first this time, it's only fair)

You are putting your sweaty little hands to good use! (Yes, your hands really are sweaty, it's kinds weird) You now grab the toys hanging over your play mat. Today you learned how to hold your sleeve and wiggle your arm out. (picking you up and one sleeve is empty was quite a surprise for Mama) When Dad feeds you, you love pulling at the hair on his arms. Dad is not as thrilled as you are about this. What's your favorite thing to pick up? Jeff!!! You love grabbing him with both hands and rubbing him on your face.

Luke rubbing Jeff on his face and Calvin pulling at his clothes.

Dear Calvin,

You are using your hands to grab things, too. As long as what you are grabbing is attached to your brother. You love pulling his ears, poking his eyes, and putting your fist in his mouth. You have also become a bully. The other day you pulled Luke's pacifier out of his mouth making him cry. I assumed it was an accident. I put his pacifier back into his mouth and you did it again! I'm hoping you learn how to use your hands for good instead of evil.

This week Luke obviously learned how to read. After pleading with him to take a decent nap, he slept for two hour the next afternoon! It was wonderful. The boys have also started sleeping through the night. We cut out the 11pm "dream feed" and they have been sleeping from 8:30-5ish, eating, then going back to sleep until around 8. Calvin's dimples have been getting deeper and deeper. He is starting to look just like Garrett. Luke has learned how to suck on his bottom lip, drooling all over himself and making the oddest slurping noise. He's such a funny baby!
