More Pictures for Dad

So Brian is gone again. The 10 days home goes so much faster then the 10 days gone. Ugh. Anyway, we are just trying to keep busy so we don't all miss him like crazy. Its not working very well because Ethan woke up 3 times last night, crying for his dad. He hasn't woken up at night for a long time so you know he must really miss him :) Who wouldn't though, right? Brian is a guy you want around, or at least I do. We miss you babe!

 I love these boys!

Ethan's been super sassy lately, with lots of time outs and early bedtimes. I just don't know what to do with this kid. He looks cute in this picture but he is a naughty little one. He yells at me all the time and loses his temper so quickly. I get surprised by how mad he gets sometimes. At other times, he can be so cute and loving. He and Brayden get along so well. They love each other so much. Its super cute! I know 2 year olds are naturally naughty but I've noticed this time around when Brian's been gone, he's been a lot worse than normal. I'm thinking its because he misses his dad? I don't know. But I love him beyond words. He can be the sweetest little man and just melt my heart when he wants to. He has learned his whole name and the other day was looking in the mirror and said "Its John Harding!" I think he meant I'm John Harding because that's his middle name but it was so cute how it came out. We are going on a trip to Minnesota and it can't come soon enough. He is beyond excited to go on a plane to see Abbi. And I am beyond excited to go on a plane to see Missy!! I guess seeing Brad will be fun too ;)

Brayden started crawling 2 weeks ago, the day Brian got back from his last show. It is so cute. He'll crawl on his hands and knees occasionally but loves to scoot like a worm. It is so funny! He also loves to get into anything and everything now that he can move. Its a good thing I don't care if he puts everything in his mouth. Because he also puts everything and anything into his mouth. I think he's teething. But I thought a tooth was coming a couple weeks ago when he was fevering and had a blister on his gum but still no tooth. Someday soon hopefully. He's become a very clingy baby. He is still super happy most the time but I have to be in his sight for him to stay happy. Oh I love my little man. He is just the sweetest little monster ever! He growls and has learned to fake laugh. It is so funny! I just love him to pieces!!

I was downstairs one day during naps and could hear some giggling. I went upstairs and this is what I found. For their naps, I put Ethan in their room and Brayden in mine since they sleep at the same time sometimes. Well, Ethan had woken up and went right in to Brayden and they were just giggling like crazy. Best sound in the world!

This kid loves the camera. He pulls the cheesiest faces when the orange focus light comes on before the flash. I think he is pretty darn cute!
