twins

caleb is now 2 years 8 months and brynna is 18 months.

it never fails that when we go to costco and the two of them are sitting side by side in the cart, someone will ask us if they're twins. hehe. then we have to smile and say, "no, they're 14 months apart...hehe." if i didn't know any better, though, i'd think they were twins too because sitting down, they look like they're the same size.

it's so cute to see them running around and playing with each other. caleb still loves to hug and kiss her and brynna is getting a little bit better...she'll even hold his hand once in a while, though she still often lunges at him trying to bite him.

it's also cute to see brynna trying to copy things caleb does...like pointing at the animals in the book and going, "roooaaarrrr." so funny.

we thought that because caleb is so verbal, brynna would pick up quickly...hasn't happened. in fact, we sometimes wonder if caleb holds her back from learning stuff because when we're trying to teach her things, he automatically jumps in with his smart guy self and answers whatever we're trying to ask her. with all the talking he does, she'd have to fight to get a word in anyways.

her lack of verbal skill is overshadowed by her daring nature, though. she is constantly jumping on the couch, even though she's fallen off several times...the thrill of the fall is worth it, i guess. that's one thing she's definitely more adept at...jumping around. caleb wasn't able to two-feet jump for a while, but this little girl is a really good jumper.

i really like watching their relationship with each other develop...it's so cool since i didn't really live full-time with any siblings who were close in age to me.
