Alex insisted on wearing Daddy's shorts. He was also carrying around Cody's gloves and hat. He picked his shirt as well. That is not Cody's, but Cody would totally wear it if it were big enough.

My friend came over for dinner one night and brought brownies. The babies turned in to little brownie monsters. They kept standing next to the counter (for DAYS until we ran out) where the brownies were pointing and yelling "Cah Cah" (cracker). They know cookie also, so I was trying to get them to say cookie, but discussing proper word usage was taking up precious brownie eating time and they got angry. Angry required extra brownie.
I walked in to my bed room to find this one day. They managed to open the bottom drawer of the dresser and pull out everything. Alex was laying under it, kicking the drawer with his feet and "singing"
Outside. The babies climbing on our deck chairs. Ben started climbing the chair by pulling up on the arm, putting his foot on the seat under the arm and launching himself up and around the arm like a gymnastics bar. I couldn't figure out why he looked like he was flying until I finally saw him do it from the right angle.
Alex looking in yard, Ben preparing to launch himself over the arm.
Ben stealing Cody's glasses. We finally got around to buying some summer clothes. We bought a couple of these shirts. They are rash guards with a built in spf. The boys LOVE them. I really need to switch their entire wardrobe to rash guards. They dry quickly, they feel slippery, and they have an spf. Perfect.
Alex getting to try the glasses
Alex picked this rash guard. He loves it. He walks around petting the bat signal. It looks like he just just walking around rubbing his belly.
The Jump-O-Lene
I thought I had more pics of this. I may add them later. We bought this for the babies. It is the same concept as a bouncy house only it is small enough to go in a living room. By "go in a living room", I mean take up the entire floor area of the living room and make you feel like you're living in a mad house. It inflates in a few places and the babies run around and bounce. You can buy those plastic balls and use it as a ball pit in the winter. The balls are really expensive though. Well, expensive when the reviews say other people had 1,000 balls and it mostly just filled a layer on the bottom. So it takes A LOT of balls.
They are still a little unsure of it, but every once in a while they will get to running and laughing. It gets crazy. Tame crazy though. They are still too small to do much damage to themselves or others.
Here is a video of Alex running around falling and laughing at/with Cody. Some of the head hits look kind of hard, but it is very, very soft. He never displayed any pain or discomfort. It just looks worse than it is.
Alex has finally gotten really good at putting together the blocks. He had 6 together in a row today. Any more than that and the tower breaks.
As many of you know, we live in a subdivision built around a private lake. We don't live on one of the lake lots, so our lake experience has been pretty limited. (Our lake experience was a pretty funny story itself, but that's not the point now)
Cody found the private beach area. I say "found" because it is pretty well hidden. There are no signs on the street, and no path down to the lake. You basically have to take your stroller between a mailbox and someone's landscaping and walk down in the grass to the sand area. There is a sign once you get to the lake, but it is not very obvious.
Cody has taken them alone a couple of times this week. I finally went with them today. It was fun, but the boys did get tired of it pretty quickly. They didn't really want to be in the water. They did like the shells though.
We eventually left when we realized how red Ben's ear was. I'm hoping we didn't give our baby his first sun burn. I forgot sunscreen on the ears! I will remember next time.
Cody trying to get them in the water. Ben green/white and Alex blue
Unsure. Ben would not give up the binky
Feeling the waves
Pointing at a shell he had thrown in the water
Alex just kept walking back and forth along the beach
Ben mostly did this: stare. Occasionally he would make a break for the stairs and try to walk back to the stroller.
Here is Cody dragging the stroller back up the "path"
