Oh, they grow so fast! I watch them with a little excitement and a little sadness. Excitement at all the new things they learn and do, and sadness because with every passing moment, they're less and less my little babies. I can't help but to sneak in to check on Braeden while he sleeps, even now.

You can see from these pictures that Will is growing like a weed! There is only a month or two difference between these two pictures. Look at how big he gets, how awake and aware. He's so sweet.

Will was blessed on 23 December 2007. Before everyone freaks out...my glasses are fake. Will wore the same outfit that Braeden wore...mostly because we couldn't really afford a new one...but partly because it seemed sort of a waste to spend a bunch of money on a new one when there was a perfectly good blessing outfit hanging in the closet never to be worn again by its original owner.

This is Braeden in his Sunday clothes. He wears a white shirt, though it never stays tucked in more than a minute or two, and a little tie. He's so cute. And of course, he is wearing one of his winter coats. He has two, though one of them just seems really big on him. Maybe he will be able to wear it next year. I love his cheesy grin!

I think Will looks scared or something in these pictures. He cracks me up!

Will and Braedens seem to get along pretty well. Will thinks Braeden is really funny and vice versa. Braeden seems to like Will quite a bit, although I think there are some jealousy issues. Sometimes Braeden will do mean things to Will, like kick him in the head and then running away yelling "SORRY!"

All in all, Braeden loves his little brother. He loves to take care of sweet little Will. Sometimes when Will cries, Braeden will rub his head and say, "Don't cry, baby. Don't cry, Will." Sometimes Braeden just rubs his head and says, "Nice, nice." He likes to grab the binkie and shove it in poor Will's mouth. He gets really excited when we change Will's diapers. He yells, "A MESS!!!" as soon as we open the diaper up. He laughs and waits impatiently to go throw the diaper in the trash.

They're both good kids. We have been so blessed to have them. We couldn't have asked for better boys. This last picture is Braeden. He was sitting in the Legos bucket, so I told Ron to go grab the camera. It was funny because as soon as Ron started taking pictures, Braeden started posing. He would turn and look back at us, or put his hands on his face and all kinds of things. This one was my favorite!
