One week to go!

Caleb and Joshua will be 1 year old in just one week!

These boys do some really cute and funny stuff. I keep thinking of things to write in this blog, but then when it comes time to write them, I always forget them all. Let's see...

They know they are not allowed to climb the stairs at Halmoni and Grandpa's house, so every time we're over there, they will crawl over to the stairs, turn around, and break out into a big, mischevious grin at an authority figure (parents, grandparents, or uncle). They think it's a game. They also seem to think that "No!" is the most hilarious word ever, especially when Mommy says it. They're also always eager to attack the house plants, and we always have to tell them "Gentle! Gentle!" Same goes for the stereo equiptment. If it's not behind locked doors, they will open the doors and stick their hands in the VCR!

It seems that their books are their favorite toys. When we read them a book, Joshua will bend down and look closely at each page, then sit back up and smack his legs when he's ready for us to turn the page. When they're crying about something, often the only things that will comfort them is reading a book or singing a song.

At our house, they are always trying to get into the bathroom. They think it's the greatest room ever. We hope they feel the same way when it's time for elimination communication! They also love to crawl under things- end tables, their cribs, whatever. They're pretty good at figuring out how to squeeze their way in and out of tight spaces- in this way they remind me of my pet rabbits I had growing up.

I recently got them some Baby Legs. They are the funky legwarmers you see them wearing in the November Gallery. They make diaper-changing so much easier since I don't have to fight with them to put their pants back on each time I change them. It's become harder and harder to change their diapers recently. They always want to be on the go doing anything but lying still on their backs!

Today I "made" them a playroom using the wider part of our sunroom, which up until today was basically used for storage because it was too hot during the summer and attracted lots of bugs. But now that Fall is here, the warm sunlight feels nice and the bug population has dwindled. It's only about a 6 x 6 ft. space, but it's nice and sunny and warm during the day. They seem to like it out there, but unless I'm sitting out there with them they will sooner or later come back into the living room to find me (and my laptop!).
