Updates on the Boys

Since I've been slacking on updating my blog on a regular basis- I'm going to do a quick overview of updates on the boys!

Brandon is going to 4 in only two months and it's really so hard to believe! He is going to start preschool in Sept at Greenwich and will go Tues/Thurs from 9-12. We are so excited to see him go to school because we know he is going to do great! His reasoning skills at his age are crazy and I'm pretty sure he is going to outsmart Josh and myself soon! He also took swimming lessons over the summer which really tested my patience because he is such a dare devil. He "thinks" he can swim so he would just jump in where he can't reach. I must say that he can swim a little but by no means can  he do it by himself yet! He also learned the very beginning of water skiing and is such a natural at it- he makes it look so easy. He is also going to start soccer again in the Fall- he loved so I'm hoping we can stick with it! Some funny/cute things that Brandon says: "are you sneakin on me", "tucker is my buddy, I love him", "I'm getting sooooo big- my knees are getting longer", "I weigh 36 pounds, that is almost 100 and almost as big as Uncle Joel". Tonight Brandon actually rode his bike (with training wheels) for the longest distance yet... 3.6 miles! He really did such a great job and I was super impressed! He is in love with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Cars, Planes, Doing puzzles, Playing outside.

Tucker is almost 21 months old! He is our little guy and we call him lots of nick names (Tuck J, Shorty, Crazy Legs, Tuck) He is really starting to talk now and his vocabulary is growing. He is in love with dogs, geese, birds, flies, bugs, planes. He also LOVES following Brandon around like his shadow. Everything Brandon does he does and it's so cute. Tucker also loves to eat and we call him a scavenger. He can eat 3-5 pancakes for breakfast and a banana- it's quite impressive because I'm not sure where it all goes. He is just starting to get 4 more teeth (D's) he is just so slow with tooth eruption. He also loves pushing the ride on toys around outside and can actually go a pretty far way with his little legs. His most favorite things to say are Papa and Boat- he is slightly obsessed. He can also keep himself busy playing with trucks- he could play for hours if no one bothered him. I feel like before we know it Tucker is going to be 2! Where did my babies go:(
