R and L's Nana and Grandad came to visit them again this weekend. Grandad plays with them until he is absolutely worn out and Nana takes such great care of them that it allows me to take a little break. L is getting better and better at walking every time he tries. He walked all the way from the end of the coffee table to Grandad sitting in the chair on Friday - it had to be at least 10 steps. R has had a happy weekend. He continues to jabber and have entire conversations with himself. I think that he is perfectly capable of walking, but he's in no hurry.
We went to our local neighborhood Target Starbucks this afternoon and the boys got to see their friendly Starbucks person again. We haven't been in a couple of weeks but she still remembered my drink and was happy to see the boys. After Starbucks we stopped by Tim and Stephanie's for a short bit to say hi, and to visit Greg during their Fantasy Football Draft. R had a good time and behaved himself, but L was into everything. He's been fussy today and has had several temper tantrums. When he gets mad he flings himself backwards and hits his head on the ground hard (why?). I was thinking that he was being a little monster, but now I think that he might have an ear infection. The last time he acted like this, he had a cold and an ear infection. Both R and L have been very congested this week, so it is quite possible that he is sick. Of course the doctor's office will be closed tomorrow, so we'll just have to wait and see how he is doing Tuesday. They have their 15 month checkup on Friday, but L might not be able to wait until then.
R has started to really enjoy sitting inside of things. Here he is sitting inside one of his toy baskets. I guess what is the point of sitting next to the basket and playing with the toys when you can sit in the basket with them?
L loves to be thrown into the air and be "Super L." Greg is the only one who is brave enough to throw him this high in the air, but L loves it. As a point of reference, that is the door frame into the hallway behind Greg, so you can see how high he really does throw L up in the air. R likes it too, but he sometimes gets a little upset over the height. L is going to be fearless and a trouble maker, and R is going to be sensitive, but I think also manipulative. L climbed into a box lid with R today and R quietly shoved him out with 2 hands and a foot. I think we're going to have to keep an eye out on R because he's going to do a good job of always making it look like it's L's fault.
