Give & Take . . .

This is a common scene at our house during meal time.

One twin taking the goods from the other or the other

twin giving so generously what he doesn't want anymore. :)

In this case, Merrill saw he was out of marshmallows & realized

Grant has plenty to give, so" I'll just take that one right there", he thought.

 And this little man right here, gave so generously all those

wonderful marshmallows to his brothers, in which they'd never had

before.

I walk out of the kitchen for about two minutes & come back

to find a big pile of marshmallows on each of the twins trays as well

as Cole having a handful in his fist as he's climbing back up to the table.

I couldn't be upset with him, since he was giving so well &

of course the twins loved them so much.

It's more & more fun as these boys get older to watch all 3 of them play

together. And sometimes crazy too, but mostly just fun.

The twins are officially toddlers now!

Hooray for nursery time! It was absolutly WONDERFUL

this last Sunday to be able to soak up both Sunday School

& Relief Society kid free. Of course though, only 5 minutes after

I sit down in Sunday school, Merrill is brought to me for a lovely

diaper change.

Then it was Grant's turn in Relief society, but I'm not complaining!

I'll take it!

At their 18 month well check the other day, it was fun

to find out that this is the closest in height & weight that they've

ever been to eachother since they've been born.

Their heads are the exact same size, their height is the exact

same, 32 1/2 in. tall, & they both weigh 22 lbs, although

Merrill's about a quarter of a pound more.

I was glad to see that Grant is finally catching up to Merrill

in weight since Merrill has almost always been about a pound

more than Grant, whom we've always called our light weight & Merrill

our little bear.

These little boys are into everything! And surprise

us at times with how fast & smart they are at figuring

things out. They are definite climbers!
