Our Baby Boys

So, as promised I have news on Maddox. His very first tooth has broken through, with the second close behind... should be up in the next few days, I can see the edges poking through. He seems to be so happy theses past few days. He's screaming out of joy more than ever before and he's just started really babbling. Yesterday he started this new phase of babbling. He can say Adadadada and when he cries he says AyaYaYayayayaya, which is kind of funny. We went out to dinner last night with my mom and afterward we did a little shopping. I always look at the baby and scrunch up my eyes and pop them open to make him laugh. After about twenty minutes of wondering what he was doing, I thought the store lights were bothering his eyes, but he kept smiling... he was mimicking me! He scrunched up his eyes and his nose and opened them slowly and smiled and laughed. His smart little butt figured out how to copy me! He's almost seven months old, but apparently he's a quick one! I think it has something to do with his big brother being only 20 months older, he feels the need to catch up and copy him too. Alex is so surprised every time he grabs his clothes or tries to hold his hand, but I really think he's learning it from him. It is so sweet to watch them interact. As hard as it is to have two babies so close in age, one being a "terrible-two"-er and one a high maintenance baby who likes to be held all the time, otherwise he screams, it's totally worth it to know that they feed off of eachother, grow together, and very obviously love eachother so much already! They are going to be best best buddies for their whole lives... I can see it now! This is, for some reason, sideways and I can't change it, but it's still pretty great!
