WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: Family pics

This week has been a big one for milestones: Little M is exploding with the things he does. He plays peek-a-boo with me by holding my hands and putting them over my eyes, then peeling them off and peeking in at me. He says "throw!" and throws his toys. (Ok, he actually says something that sounds more like "oh!"--but still. Pretty cute.) His favorite activity lately is putting toys into containers. And he understands what I tell him. If I tell him to do something, he usually does it. The kid is practically walking, and it's not right--newborns aren't supposed to walk!

Oh, right. He's not a newborn anymore. How did that happen?

He can keep up with his brother, and wants to play with whatever toys Baby T is playing with (or eat whatever food Baby T is eating). He recently discovered Baby T's construction hat:

Baby T is also exploding with his language, play, and concepts. He tells me stories now about what happens at daycare. Yesterday he told me that one boy wouldn't get a toy truck because he whined. He is very into imaginary play, and it's so much fun to stand back and watch him move his little people and his cars around and have them talk to each other.

I wrote this post about kids in the kitchen last week as part of the Carnival of Natural Parenting, and the kitchen activities never stop. At dinner this week, batman was apparently rescuing someone deep in the mashed potatoes:

He is also very into his daddy right now. I snapped this picture the other day when we were relaxing after dinner:
