Even though my boys will always be MY babies, I can safely say they are no longer babies.\u00c2\u00a0 I mean look at these boys – they are not babies, but little boys!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>20 months old<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

I am amazed at all the boys are doing now. They love cars, trucks, trains, etc.\u00c2\u00a0 But mostly, they love to play outside.\u00c2\u00a0 Now let them take their cars outside and play, they are in heaven!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The boys absolutely love to be outside – it doesn’t matter that it’s 105 degrees outside, they want to be out there! It’s been a struggle to let them get their outside play time in before it gets too hot, and then not let them stay out too long.\u00c2\u00a0 My parents got them a water table to play with and its been nice because we have been able to take it out on the front porch in the evenings under the shade (another reason I love our big front porch).\u00c2\u00a0 The boys love water.\u00c2\u00a0 They love to swim, slide into it, splash in it and anything else you can imagine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hayden has found a love of sand – he could sit on the patio all day and play in his “sand box” we made for him.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll probably end up getting him a real sand box when it cools off some, but for now he has our home made sand box. Ian isn’t too interested with the sand and would rather just run around the backyard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This age is so fun and when our boys play, they play hard.Their little personalities are definitely beginning to shine and everyday we see new little quirks they have, like Hayden who likes to wear a bucket on his head or Ian who loves to hold on to his cars.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They love to sit by the window, on top of their little recliners and especially like to do this when we vacuum, so they can escape the evil monster that they think will get their toes!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hayden, who is Mr. Serious to everyone else, is quite the ham! He does so many things that crack us up, he’s hilarious. This picture of him was after their bath one night, he just started throwing his hands up in the air, then would lean back and fall to the ground.\u00c2\u00a0 It kind of reminds me of that video that was going around in the 90’s of the dancing baby…\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You never know what he’ll do next. Hayden also loves to push things around the house.\u00c2\u00a0 Usually his trucks or wagon, but sometimes its chairs, he reminds me of a little linebacker.<\/p>\n

Ian has become quite the momma’s boy lately.\u00c2\u00a0 He always wants me to hold him and loves to sit in the chair with you.\u00c2\u00a0 He also LOVES to read, he always wants you to read to him and it’s not unusual to find him just looking at a book on his own.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wow, this has become a lengthy post…I guess once you get me talking about my boys, I won’t quit. I’ll just leave you with a picture that pretty much sums up our life with the boys!<\/p>\n
