These boys are so much fun.  Their little personalities are really developing, and it is so fun to watch as they play on their own, and with each other.  Harvick continues to, more typically, be the whinier baby, but is much more empathetic to his brothers.  Jarrett angers easier, but also calms quicker, typically.  Both boys continue to be good eaters overall, but Harvick (who has the reputation of being willing to try anything), dislikes most veggies.  Jarrett, who continues to despise berries, typically finishes his meals first.

Neither are verbal at this point, but their behavior indicates they have the same high level of comprehension/cognition that their brother did at this age.  Only time will tell.

I loved the boys' outfits one Sunday, and really wanted a picture.  Of course, no one wanted to cooperate, so we sat them each up on the changing table...and kind of got one of each!

This is a nightly occurrence (more than a time or two usually).  Wrestling with dad.

This push train was given to Ryder for his 1st birthday - all of the boys still enjoy it...even though they have to typically share since more than one always wants it at the same time!

Harvick was not feeling well earlier in January, so I stayed home with him while Patrick took Ryder & Jarrett to Costco for our weekly run.  I loved that he fell asleep in my arms.

Bath time...notice the sick look in their eyes...we knew they weren't feeling well, but they never let on to just how sick they were...

The day I stayed home with Harvick & Jarrett, after finding out they both had RSV.  Jarrett loved the chance to play with the rings by himself that day (Harvick isn't a fan of the rings).

Two little sickies playing together.

They took a bath every night (a treat for them - usually it's just every other) while they were sick.  They definitely thought this part of being sick was fun!

Jarrett may be more easily angered, but he is also the one to freely give out hugs, or just come sit with you when he plays!

And, when EVERYONE wants to play with the train at the same time, this happens!

Clearly, one baby likes when HE CHOOSES when to give hugs, and the other will gladly take one!

Both sick with RSV...it's impossible to stop them from sharing.

Big brother's bed is a favorite gathering spot for little brothers!

How much longer until they can dust the house for me completely?  I love that every Swiffer pack comes with a new handle - I've been saving them for this very reason!
