You both love saying "dog" and will woof on command or whenever you see one in person or in a book. Other words that you are trying out are "duck", "more", "wow", and I am pretty sure some form of "brother" will emerge more clearly in the next few weeks.
I love that you can't get enough of playing outside. We are planning on building or buying a sandbox for the backyard so that you can have a place to keep digging and driving your trucks. You love short adventures in the car and are always interested in what is happening in the world that is passing by.
When either one of you discover something new, the other will be half a step behind. It is amazing to see how different you are and yet you are constantly driven to be near each other. If one of you starts crying, the other comes to investigate. If one of you eats a piece of cheese, the other needs one ASAP. If I am holding one of you, the other needs to be held as well. You are two entirely different peas in a pod.

I am completely smitten with the way you say "yeah" whenever you confirm something. You are also trying out the word "no" but haven't started battling me with it yet. The mimicking of my words is really starting to pick-up these days and I am discovering the meaning behind your babbles.
You are always ready for an adventure. If we are not moving fast enough you march in place and make your point with punctuated stomps. Pulling your brother's hair or shirt and biting is another common way you are currently making statements about your needs. Despite all of the "big emotions" you are always willing to help put things away, greet anything with an emphatic "WOW" and give tight, lingering hugs.
Alexander...
You definitely feel the beat. Those legs of yours will bend and bob at the first sign of a good song. Luckily your Dad has an incredible music library to keep your attention. I love watching you respond to music and I am always impressed with your ability to tune in and start moving, even if it is only 6:30am.
If you know you have done something wrong you tuck your chin and peer at me with sad "I'm sorry" eyes. That move is genius and will earn you plenty of leverage later when you realize its power. That giant smile of yours coupled with your easy going nature are just two of the many things that charm strangers and loved ones alike.
We love watching you grow (even if it means you can't wear
your Christmas pj's for much longer)...
xoxo,Mama & Papa
