No Lack of Personality Around Here

It seems we have some characters on our hands. In fact, we have two strong, distinct personalities growing quite nicely around here. It's a little like ying and yang most of the time. Thankfully.

Let's start with Baby A. Big Brother. Mr. Social, Mr. Easygoing, Mr. "Heeeelllllloooo Pretty Lady." Colin is a riot. He's laid back most of the time, well, as laid back as a toddler gets, and he is super social. When we go to the play center, his goal is get every mom in the place to pick him up and fuss over him. Oh, and he loves his Mama (although he WILL NOT SAY Mama).

Right now he really likes reading books. He likes to point at pictures and say, "S'at?" He also loves dancing; he will request music from the moment he comes downstairs in the morning. He has some awesome moves too (takes after his Daddy that way).

He loves his teddy bear and his stuffed kitty cat. He loves to "meeeeoooooww" and "quack." He loves a good snuggle and "Wonder Pets" too. But, he won't touch a meatball to save his life. He's more of a pretzel man.

He is perfect, and beautiful.

Now, Baby B: Little Sis. Miss Bean. Princess. Miss Nosy Pants. Miss "I'll Do It Myself." She is something else, man. She is strong, and stubborn, and funny. And smart as all get out. She keeps us all on our toes. She understands EVERYTHING you say, and she'll show you that she does! She loves to watch and imitate everything; she loves to play with the "big" boys at the play center.

Gillian loves to feed her baby doll and "help" fold laundry. She loves to take the pieces out of puzzles, but never puts them back. She builds awesome towers, and rarely knocks them down. She likes books, but won't sit to read one with you. She DOES love to look through books on her own though. She's awfully fond of her Dada, I will admit.

Bean likes things to go back where they belong. If she finds something that belongs to Brother, she'll take it to him and MAKE SURE he accepts it. She loves to give kisses to kitties, and Mama, and Dada, and even Brother. She LOVES to eat, especially hummus, salsa, and pulled pork. She'll try anything. Mmmmmm.

She is perfect, and beautiful.

Colin is such a cutie!

It sounds like Little Bean is an awful lot like Bean the Elder...
