It was a little too quite the other day and I realized why; Aiden wasn't playing with cars/trucks - he was resting on the back of the couch. I have no idea how he even thought of that but it was pretty funny.
It cracks me up how much Aiden likes to make himself comfortable. He put his stool up for his feet to have his juice. Too cute.
Brad wanted to have a little wrestling with boys time in bed. I think fun was had by all although Aiden has a low tolerance for wrestling. I think little Eli could wrestle all day though. He loves it.
Aiden is getting so much better with Eli and trying to be gentle and definitely a lot more tolerant of Eli touching him and giving him head butts.
We took the boys to Chuck E Cheese on Saturday morning. They both had fun and it was Eli's first trip there.
We had to do some serious convincing to get Aiden to play in the hamster tunnels since he was having so much fun on the rides.
Aiden HATED the monster truck the first time he went on it. He cried and wanted out while the ride was still moving. Fast-forward a fews months and we could barely get him out of this thing. I love the picture with his tongue out - what concentration for all that driving he is doing! Eli was just hanging on for dear life to the coin return catch.
Eli playing around the school bus and going down the slide on top.
Aiden kinda got glued to the monster truck but we peeled him away a few times. He normally asked for Eli to ride with him. How cute. I was surprised Eli didn't try and crawl out but I think he went at a good age. He was too little to realize what was going on so he didn't get upset (like Aiden did) on his first ride. Eli loved it.
We were really excited about a park in downtown Jax because we had read such great things about it and I remembered it being awesome when I went here with a friend 3 yrs ago. Well, a lot can change in 3 years. Part of the park was closed down which was sad but there was enough to keep Eli and Aiden busy for a while.
They had these little houses/stores throughout the park. Eli's favorite was the ice cream shop! He's getting so daring and starting to take 1-3 steps away from things now. I think he's finally starting to understand that he can walk. He lets go and stands and watches Aiden or tv for a while and even takes a step to re-adjust but then normally just drops to his knees to go anywhere. He's starting to take a step or two then drop. How exciting!
Aiden found a school bus he thought was pretty cool and played on that for a while.
We went to the library on Saturday and Aiden picked out a monster truck DVD. The construction truck part of the DVD was playing but he was very interested in it. Eli has never even been remotely interested in watching TV but he saw his brother watching so he decided to check it out too.
We had a great long weekend with Brad and he's gone again for 3 weeks. We will miss him as usual. I just want this deployment to come and go finally. Brad will have been gone for about 3 months to prepare for a 6-9 month deployment.

Here are a lot of pictures of Eli. He enjoyed his first trip to Chuck E Cheese.
