Brothers

Noah and Elliot have been playing more and more lately. Their "conflicts" come from Noah not wanting to share. But, Noah is doing better. And when it comes to anything that sharing doesn't have to be involved in, they are really good buds.

When Elliot wakes up from naps Noah runs up to get him. He turns on the light and climbs in his crib. He usually tells him he missed him and gives him a hug. Elliot just lights up. Then Noah will jump while Elliot stands up and holds on to the railing just laughing. They will play for quite awhile, before getting out.

Another fun game they play is chase. Noah runs upstairs from bedroom to bedroom and Elliot crawls around chasing him. As soon as Elliot gets to him, Noah runs away. They both laugh hysterically and have a great time.

They also enjoy playing "forts" together. Noah builds them and Elliot climbs. Noah does get mad if Elliot makes a blanket come crashing down, messing up a tunnel or something though.

I can see Noah is going to teach Elliot a lot of things, too. He is often saying "I'll teach you Elliot. This is how you do it" and showing him things (some way advanced beyond Elliot's age) and Elliot just listens intently. And Noah is so proud of Elliot when he accomplishes something new, cheering for him.

It's really fun to watch their bond grow and see them interact. They love eachother very much.

Playing "cookies" together. Noah gets the chocolate ones and E gets the white frosting ones.
On the couch that has been stripped of it's cushion by Noah. E loves this, because he can then climb up on the couch.

So sweet.

E is obsessed with Wally's kennel. He was gone the other night and it had a brand new clean bed in it that I bought. I just let him and Noah have their fun. They both were laughing here.
