Bah-Bah–Bahckie!

Bah-bah-Bahckie (as Aussie calls him) has been so cute lately. Time keeps sneaking by me and I need to record some of these things before they become distant memories. These are the things that have been making me giggle lately about this little guy: How he climbs little hills at the park so he can moon-walk backwards down them. He looks up at me with a big grin and a proud look on his face, “look what I can do Mom!!”. ~ How he LOVES to climb up on top of things (tables, couches, upside-down toy boxes that he emptied out, etc.). He stands up and says, “Ta-daaaaaa!” even though he knows its a ‘no-no’. ~ When he really wants to get out of his car seat and he literally leaps into my arms (wow that is such a help to me!). ~ When little kids come over for a play date and he goes nuts in sheer glee and excitement. ~ How he is so meticulous with his cars. They all have their little parking places all over the house. So stinking cute!! I will find them very neatly parked against walls, in straight lines and my most favorite: around my bosu ball. Ha ha – I love it!! ~ How he looks after Aussie… always making sure Aussie has a car too. ~ How he always swaps Aussie’s drink with him (of course he makes sure he has almost finished his drink before “sharing” with Austin – what a smart kid). ~ How he attempts to say new words all the time: hungy (hungry), ehpane (airplane), Aussie – and when he’s feeling extra clever – Awsten, Ehden (Jadon), Nigh-Nigh (nite-nite), beety (binky), Cah (car), out (for pick me up), and my latest favorite: bahdoon (baloon). ~ How he puckers his lips as big and full as they can possibly get and says very authoritatively, “No No Awsten!” ~ How he always sings a little tune. And how he can NOT sit still when music is on. He feels the rhythm and is compelled to bee-bop with his body no matter how tired he is. It is hilarious as sometime he looks at me with an expression of, “Please turn that music off!! I am so tired and yet I must go on if the music is playing”. ~ And lately how he and Austin have been playing together. From just listening to them, you would think they were a couple of girls with all of the shrilly screams of delight they make. They REALLY love each other….. something VERY special for a mother of twins to see and experience. They have such a special bond that they will carry with them for life. The other day, Austin had a doctor’s appt. and the entire time, Brock kept asking for Aussie. I think he said his name 300 times while he was away. When Steve got home, he told me that Austin said Bah-Bah-Bahckie for about 300 times as well. They really notice when the other is not there. We so love our little Brockie and feel so blessed to have such a fun, loving and caring little boy.
