He ain't heavy.... He's my brother...

I look at my boys, and there are days I cannot wait to see them really playing together, running in the backyard, chasing each other on their bikes.. And yet I'm loving where we are now.. This stage of exploring, the hint of playfulness I can already see, especially from Jaydon.. How excited Ethan can get when he sees his brother.. I love the way their bond is forming.. And I'm praying for them every day.. I started praying for their bond and friendship that they'll share, while I was still pregnant with Ethan.. I remember rocking Jaydon to sleep and he would sit facing me falling asleep with his head on top of my growing belly and I'd be dreaming about our two boys and the life they'll be sharing....

Yesterday morning while getting ready, Jaydon insisted to be on the bed where Ethan was.. I took a few photos of them 'playing'.... This is just the start of many wonderful moments for the boys and I cannot wait to experience all of it with them!

My prayer is that my boys will not only be just brothers but best friends, looking out for each other, loving and supporting each other and growing old one day with wonderful memories of the life they shared ..

After all that playing he took a well deserved nap..

So it's been a few days since the last post and I'm adding some photos of everything we got up to in this time..
And to update on my and Ethan's bottle story... I bought and borrowed more bottles and he finally drank from the MAM bottles on Monday... after all my excitement of him finally drinking from a bottle, he has not been interested since then.. but there is hope..! And at least a little bit more time on my side as well..!

'Seriously, why do you think I'd want to drink from a bottle mom??'

Jaydon has found some new pleasures in rearranging my cupboards while I shower... If only he'd arrange them inside..!

On another of our walking afternoons.. Here Jaydon was sitting in the front of the pram with Ethan on the way back from the park...

Jaydon is still fascinated by what the garden boy does outside.. Here he was just standing and looking at him for the longest time...

On Friday we visited grandpa and grandma.. Jaydon got very spoiled with a new bike.! He is so impressed and the bike gets pushed all over the house (It's slightly to big still so he can't ride it yet and must still get the hang of the pedals, but I don't think I'll be long!) ..! 

Jaydon and grandpa chatting a bit...

His new bike.. Don't be fooled by the serious face! He was very chuffed!

I hid it on the weekend in our study/packing room, but this afternoon he discovered it and was sooo happy! I had to go take it out and he started pushing it again and even wore his bike helmet almost the whole of the rest of the afternoon! This afternoon we watched some Tour de France and he kept pointing to the television and showing me the big bikes, I'm sure he thinks one day he'll also cycle like that!

After rediscovering it earlier.. Intently watching the Tour de France with me..

With his helmet.. ready for any action now!

Refused to even take it off, even for our walk!

'See, a helmet like mine mom..!'

Checking out another bike in the park....

Pushing the pram to wherever we are...

Ethan oblivious to it all...

And when Ethan did wake I gave him a bit of a 'front seat' ride..

'The view is so much better from here mom!'

Hello little brother..!

We went to a birthday party on Saturday.. Jaydon thought the bubbles that was part of the party packs was a lot more fun than any of the sweets or cake! 

Jaydon and Alexander

'Blow dad! This is so much fun!'

The dad's chatting with their littlest, Simeon and Ethan..

Ethan is 5 months old today! My how time has flown! And he is just getting more gorgeous every day! 

Practicing some sitting...

'See mom, I can almost do it!'

'Reading' one of Jaydon's new books... All about pirates.. 

And some more random photos.. 

I can just see how the two boys will be driving us crazy on their bikes not too long from now..! Jaydon thought it was great fun that Ethan joined him on the bike!

Together on the bike, Jaydon was actually very impressed by this!

Jaydon and dad enjoying some 'iPad-time'.....

Jaydon showing just how to take an afternoon nap!

Jaydon received a new present from Aunt Jo.. He really thinks this is the best toy ever! He was vacuuming everywhere for me!

And I guess it was bout to happen at some point... He discovered the workings of the water dispenser on the fridge and my was he impressed.. Laughing and talking to himself... I'll have to make a plan about this one or I can see some very wet floors coming my way!..

It was nice growing up with someone like you - someone to lean on, someone to count on... someone to tell on!  ~Author Unknown
