Benjamin you:

Have more hair

Make loud screaming noises and low growling noises all the time (even at 2:00am)

Use a pincher grasp to pick up Cheerios

Not as good a sleeper as your brother

Suck your thumb (especially when you have a blankie)

Are very "busy" all the time

Squeal and kick your legs when excited

Think us making funny noises is hysterical

Are a charmer (smiling at everyone)

Joseph you:

Are starting to give hugs and baby kisses (wide open mouth!)

Study everything carefully

Like your paci

Use your entire fist to shove Cheerios in your mouth

Want to eat anything we have

Love it when we sing or whistle

Make more actual sounds than your brother (da, ba, ect.)

Sniff your nose & shake when excited

Love peek-a-boo

Make your own "echo" noises

I LOVE YOU!!!!
