Brotherly Love

Lately, Jake and Max have really been buddies. I love it. When I sit at the computer I hear little boy giggles from across the house. Usually they're chasing each other (now that Max walks!), and of course Jake is faster so he tackles Max and they both laugh. Or they hide behind Andy's hanging shirts in our closet and reach out and tickle each other. I love that Jake is being sweet with him, and I think he loves the companionship. And Max thinks Jake hung the moon. It's great for me because they entertain each other. All this rough-housing, though, makes me think we'll need padded walls when they get bigger. :)

Just a few minutes ago I heard Jake singing a lullabye (original lyrics). I didn't want to ruin the moment so I didn't peek until after it was over, but they were both on Max's bedroom floor (Max with paci and blankie) and Jake was rocking him. Awww....

This is a game they played the other night. Jake was rocking them in the recliner and they were laughing so hard.

Check out Max's laugh!


Teaching his little brother tricks... And, yea, I know it's gross to put your mouth in bath water, but I'm sure they'll do plenty more gross things.

Thank you Lord for silly boys.

You pictures and video bring back sweet memories of Mark and Jay when they were young. And I bet Diane took similar pictures of Chris and Andrew once upon a time!

Your boys are precious! And they are obviously members of the mutual admiration society! :o) God is so good!
