Buddies from the start

TJ is so cute with Cooper and is always giving him a hug or a kiss or making him laugh. Since Cooper started drinking from a bottle occasionally in the last month, TJ want's to take part in that too. Here is is feeding Cooper and looking so serious about the whole thing.
I love this picture. I had put Cooper on the floor to have tummy time and when I looked in there a little while later TJ was just laying by him with his arm around him - what cuties! By the way, after I got all these pictures up I realized TJ isn't wearing pants in any of them. I promise I actually do dress my children, but we are starting to potty train so we keep pants off sometimes so it's easier to get to the potty quicker. :-)
I actually took this picture today. No words really needed - just brothers who love each other.

TJ always wants to hold Cooper. If Cooper is being fussy when I am holding him, TJ will come and say "Mom, Cooper wants me. Come here, Coop" and he will try to take him from me. As long as he is sitting down then he can hold him. Yesterday when I was gone Cooper woke up and was screaming for about 20 minutes. Matthew had tried everything to calm him down to no avail, so finally he said "TJ, come make Cooper happy" and as soon as TJ started being silly for Cooper he cheered right up.

It's times like these that make me grateful to have multiple children. We love seeing the kids grow up loving each other, even though they have their disagreements too.

Hi Val!
I found your blog and wanted to tell you how cute your boys are!! I haven't seen you in so long, it was nice to see what you've been up to - chasing two little boys around is quite the job!! Visit my blog sometime if you have time and leave me a comment.
