What Brandon Did First

Lately I have noticed things Brandon has accomplished before Nicky. In some case almost a year in advance. I think its been interesting to show the differences in them and how Nicky has helped influence Brandon's development.Love them both for who they are, how they are so different and how much they love and support each other

Brandon stopped wearing a diaper at night  (yay!) 

But he was almost 6 months after Nicky to be potty trained

Brandon rode a powered vehicle first 

Nicky stayed far far far away from these things and preferred to push his lawn mower

Brandon put his clothes on first 

Nicky still needs us to put his clothes on, although he CAN do it. ;)

Brandon put his shoes on first 

same - Nicky's such a bogger.

Brandon rode a scooter first 

Nicky is so happy riding his Razor scooter he got for Xmas, 

but when he was 2, he wouldn't have even attempted to ride one

When Mommy's away in Vegas...

I was in Vegas last week for VMware's World Wide Kick-Off. It was nice to have some ME time, but getting all the pictures and videos, it was hard not to miss them every second of the day. Here are some pictures of my boys while I was gone...my favorite is Brandon's Tupperware hat.

Nickle Pickle is 32 months!

Dear Nicky, 

In the past 32 months, I have watched you grow from a tiny little bundle in my arms

 to the big boy you are today

I love so many things about you...

 your big golden eyes (just like momma)

your Abeling tail (just like daddy)

your perfect full lips

your long legs...

and your tiny little calf muscles

I love your laugh and your giggle

I love how you blow a kiss

how you say you are sorry

how you cry with 3 fingers in your mouth

how you love suckers

I love your passion for dinosaurs and tractors

how you love all things orange

I love that you know how to use an iPad

and you play games on it

and watch Curious George

I love that Wipeout makes you laugh hysterically

I love your tantrums

Your stubborn personality

I love your smile

and your sharp fang teeth

I love your imagination and your stories

I love how you dance and swing your arms

I love how high you can jump

how fast you can run

how you love to play baseball

I love when you sing Bingo

and ask me to sing you the mirror song (Hush Little Baby)

I love your lawnmowers and your spay bottles and your latex gloves

my heart swells when you hold my hand

or kiss me for no reason

when you say "I love you, Mommy" and give me a hug

when you say "No thank You, Brandon" when he does something you don't like

I love when you share, but that's not too frequent

you love Chocolate milk

I love your toes

your long fingers and long eyelashes

And above all, I love how these past 32 months have been the most incredible experience, and the moments above, are the moments that matter - and I could not be more proud to be your Mommy
