A Mixed-Up Day Examined

The Brothers Baby

Logan is increasingingly aware of and interested in his little brother Chi. When Chi cries, Logan says "uh-oh" and if there's a pacifier around, he tries to stick it in the crier's mouth. I've even seen him try to pick Chi up, or maybe just hug him.

Just yesterday, Chi was laying on his tummy on the floor. Logan layed down beside him so that they were face to face. Chi always breaks into a huge grin when Logan is close to him. Then little Chi grabbed the blanket in both hands and bit it, saying, "grrrr." Logan copied him, and they went back and forth like that a few times.

I am so proud of my boys. Logan has such a loving personality. Sometimes he comes up to me and puts his arm around me and pats me on the back. He's always hugging on my legs or my neck if he can reach it. He'll even lean his head forward so I can give him a kiss. When I say, "I love you, Logan," he makes the kissing noise at me as if to say, " I love you too." Just recently he started addressing me as 'momma'. This is a big deal because usually he whines or cries to get my attention.

Chi is amazed by his perpetual motion brother. He follows Logan around with his eyes. When Logan acts silly, Chi laughs. When Logan cries, he cries. When Logan gets close to him, Chi will lean towards him and even try to grab him. When Chi is unhappy and I can't make him happy, I just call Logan over and Chi stops and watches Logan and smiles. I think Logan finally realized today that he can make Chi laugh by acting silly.

This is a sidenote. This blog will not be anything fancy like Matt's. I just don't have the time or the skills (and no time to develop skills) to make it really cool. I guess you people will just have to settle for content, and if you don't care to hear about the kids, you might just want to move on. They are all I can think about all day, and so they are what I want to talk about the rest of the time. Now that I have committed to not having a cool blog, I will probably write here more now that the pressure is off. Thanks to those who choose to remain interested.
