Alex 16 months Nathan 3.5

Alex is growing and growing and I hate to say it but he is a toddler and not a baby anymore.  He is picking up new words every day and climbing on everything.  He has been doing all of that for months.  He loves art at toddler group.  One thing Nathan never showed interest in at all.

Alex eats but not much.  He doesn't like avocado or most slimy things.  He is another carbohydrate lover like his brother.  He will eat a huge pile of slightly overcook broccoli.  Loves chicken, rice and most any fruit.  Both my boys are not a potato fans but they will eat sweet potato oven fries.

Another thing we learned in the past month has he looks exactly like his dad did when he was this age. 

Favorite thing Alex says.

Nathan is a joy and refreshing how easy going he his.  Now that he is getting about 20 more minutes of sleep a night he laughs all day long.  He cares so much about his friends and loves to meet new people at the playground.  He hasn't given up on his love for his balance bike and love playing with his Disney Cars cars.
Nathan has known all his letter sounds since the start of winter.  He has a love for letters and words.  He is starting to recognize all the names in his class and other words like cat, no and yes.
