Getting bigger...

Saturday morning was pretty much like any other day around the house lately. Except that Tucker was awake almost all morning! It marked the first day he was awake more of the day than he slept. And he was perfectly content to hang out: next to me on the couch, in his car seat or sitting in the Boppy pillow in the crib!

Thug life!

Hayden thought he needed to play with Luke Skywalker!!

Hayden is seeming more and more like a big kid every day as well - and not because there's such an extreme size difference between him and Tucker!  The things that come out of his mouth sometimes are perfectly hilarious! I asked him on Monday what Tucker was doing. He says "I don't know. Nothing." Next I asked him what he was doing. He says "I don't know. Walking."

But the cutest thing ever was listening to Hayden read to me. Lately, every time he sees the letter "H" on anything he tells us that it's his name written there. Doesn't matter what it is, he always tells us it says his name. Besides finding his name everywhere, Hayden loves books and has taken to describing the action happening in each picture of every book we read. One book that we've read a million times is the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?" Originally, I kept reading it to help him work on his colors (which backfired for a long time because he would tell me every animal was brown). But we hadn't read it in awhile (lately he's been on a Curious George and "Green Eggs and Ham" kick).  While feeding Tucker, Hayden really wanted me to read him a story. He first picked up Curious George but I managed to convince him to choose something else. He chose "Brown Bear". I read it through the first time and then Hayden said he wanted to read it to me. I figured he'd just point to the animals and tell me what color they were. Boy was I wrong! He read the entire book to me word for word! I'm sure it was all from memory from having it read to him soo many times, but there's nothing cuter than a three year old reading you a book for the first time!
