LS, I only just noticed your ticker pic - very cute! What an awesome shot of your little man.
Ben would be more than happy to teach you your Thomas trains. Be prepared for an eye roll or two though if you get one wrong!
My goodness you have some clever bubbas! I doubt Jared will ever get his belly off the ground for a proper crawl -it's just too big He's doing much better than his laid-back brother though, Ben didn't crawl until he was 9 months old, was just happy to sit and watch everything - never even attempted to crawl. Then one day, he just leant forward and crawled across the room! I'd never seen anything like it before - our jaws dropped to the floor!
Both my boys are very snuggly though. I still snuggle Jared to sleep and did the same with Ben until he was 9 months old. I know it's against all the rules, but it works for us - well except that Jared strained my rotator cuff because he's the size of a one year old!

EB, that's so amazing about Ella's hair. I cringe to think about any poor daughter I have - the poor thing. Both my MIL and mum had four kids each and we were ALL baldie bubs! Mum said she used to put hats on us even in Winter! I don't think I'll be that mean I love kissing my baldie bubs' heads.

We've had a flat out weekend, but it was a lot of fun. The boys are back to normal sleeping patterns, although Jared thinks that he shouldn't need to sleep after 5am in the morning!!!! Not fun. He's settled into two daytime sleeps though which is making things a whole lot easier. He is changing in appearance so much - his cheeks are getting even chubbier and it's changing the whole look of his face. His bottom two teeth are still trying to get through and I think that's changing the shape of his face too.
He has become such a chatterbox. Loves his food (can't get enough avocado and banana). Loves playing ball games with his big brother - which works out well. So far Ben hasn't tired of retrieving the ball for him and Jared still thinks his brother is hilarious at everything he does!

Hope you're all well and enjoying your fast-growing bubs
