I'm sure all toddlers have their own bedtime routine which is special and unique to each of them. We start off with a horsey ride up to bed and then we stop so Alex can name all the racing sausages in the picture on the wall. Then Mommy and Alex "dip" a few times - it's our thing. Then it's potty time and pajamas but not before Alex shows us his naked dance first. Alex picks out a book to read, we say our night time prayers and then we talk about our day and ask Alex the same question my Dad asked me every night when he tucked me in, "What did you do today that was the most fun?" We hear his life story and then Alex gets a drink of water and we cover him up with his stuffed animals and give him a goodnight kiss. We might have to start our bedtime routine right after dinner if it gets any longer! Geesh!

Alex Update: Alex has been doing pretty good on the potty as of lately. He still has accidents from time to time but we're getting there. He's been eating better for us so it's not such a struggle at meal time anymore. He absolutely loves his fruits and could eat them all day long! He can be the biggest love bug at times with Sean and other times, he'll stick a foot in his face so we're working on that. It feels like Alex is much older than two because he understands so much and can carry on conversations with us. It's funny to see how is mind works sometimes and we get many laughs with what comes out of his mouth. Tonight, he told Daddy that his blanket wasn't working because his hand was cold. It wasn't under the blanket so Daddy covered him up:)

Sean Update: Seanie is growing up so fast and becoming less of a baby each day. It makes me sad so, with every new outfit or with every new face or new trick, I try and snap as many pictures as I can to savor the moment! Sean's still wobbly but he can sit up all by himself now. His legs are really strong and can stand with very little assistance sometimes. I wouldn't be surprised if this kid is walking before he starts crawling, especially since he's still not a big fan of tummy time! He loves his big brother and he's been letting out some huge belly laughs watching Alex act so goofy!

| Sean will twist his head around and follow us wherever we go! |
 |
| Look how strong I am! |

| I'm not the biggest Badger fan but it was a heck of a season! |
I stumbled upon another comparison picture of Alex and Sean at 5 months old...
