Playtime

We've been busy learning how to play differently the last couple of months.  A lot more snatches of playtime for Caleb with Momma and Dada while Ethan is happily on the floor!  Momma has also tried to do at least ONE fun/different thing a week with Caleb to let him know he is still loved and important.  Of course for him, that is never enough! :) 

Caleb thought he would lay next to Ethan to "play" like Ethan does.  It also shows you the difference four years makes in size!  Our first-born is definitely not a baby anymore. (Momma sighs!)

Here the boys are webcamming with Grandpa Grothe and Grandma Jan during our weekly "chats".

One week Momma made Caleb a fort to play in for the day.  It was a big hit!

He even let Ethan and Momma come in to read a story together (with a flashlight, of course!)

One morning, Momma was busy feeding Ethan and Caleb decided to build his own train track, which he has gotten VERY good at!  Just look at this creation!  We thought Uncle Rob would be especially impressed since he likes to help build tracks when he's here.

Ethan has FINALLY decided that the swing is okay, at least for little bits at a time.  Here he is fascinated by the hanging things.

What a cutie!

Ethan really moves his arms and legs a lot during floor time, though he's not a fan of "tummy time" at all!

The pillow helps him try to hold up that head, but even though he was so close to holding his head up in just the first two weeks, he still just doesn't want to work those muscles.  Someday he'll get it!
