Brotherly Conversation

aidan talking

Hello! I wanted you guys to know I'm mastering on a skill: reaching out to touch whatever is near me. I still am shaky with it and sometimes poke my eyes in the process.

eitantalking

Yeah, but he's so cute when he does it. I give him my cars and he still cannot hold onto them. Ma says he is still too young.

aidan talking

Yes I'm probably still very young but look at me, I'm too cute for words (and pictures).

See? Ma says I'm going to be a heart-breaker too!

eitantalking

Yeah, you will be and look at what I'll be someday...

IMG_4861

I'll be a hot fireman.

IMG_4857

I already got the groove on how to use the hose, yeah baby!

aidan talking

Okay Eitan... move over and let me have the spotlight for a minute here.

IMG_4867

Mom says she is beyond thrilled that I look like her. I even got her blue eyes. She says that Eitan is 99.9% Daddy and I am 99.5% Mommy!

IMG_4865

That's Mom's old cat, Zeus. She doesn't like us very much, especially Eitan because he chases her.

eitantalking

hah, wait until you start using your legs, you'll find chasing cats fun. Besides, your loud cries scares her away.

aidan talking

Alright. Okay I admit you're right. Anyway...

IMG_4825

I was momentarily startled by the light on my Mom's camera-

eitantalking

*snickering* "deers with headlights" anybody?

aidan talking

Hey!!!

eitantalking

My turn people! I went over to a friend's home and we discovered his Mom's lotion. We did all kind of things with it (smeared it on those big mirrors, rubbed it on our hands, faces and even hair).

Hmm, where else do I rub the remaining lotion? (see mirror behind me?)

DSC_0209

The remaining lotion went into my hair, looks good?


aidan talking

I also went over and met Jyles, a 7 days old baby at that time.

DSC_0079

And I thought I was small!

Anyway, I spent most of my time trying to reach for things, eating, smiling at whomever aim to please me and I admit I easily cry. I know the power of crying and sometimes abuse it. Oh well, whatever works... parents have NO idea how manipulative we little ones are!

DSC_0062

Here's me snoozing peacefully.

eitantalking

While Aidan was snoozing, Mom's full attention was on me. We played dress up and I got to walk around in her shoes.

DSC_0061

These are big shoes to fill, huh?

DSC_0035

One morning as Aidan was sleeping, I had Mom's undivided attention, which is a rarity by the way (lately). I decided to get silly.

DSC_0036

Hmm, Ma loves it when I'm silly.

DSC_0038

Wheeeeee!

DSC_0039

Got to make Mom laugh!

DSC_0047

Ah, mission accomplished.

Unknown-5

What do you think I'm saying with those eyes?

aidan talking

"Mommy, I love you!"?

eitantalking

close enough but really, I was thinking "Mom, save me." And that's another story.

Until then,
Eitan and Aidan

All in a month...

IMG_4805

A typical Sunday Morning.

IMG_4755

All growed up.

peeks

Putting on shorts in a silly way, but of course.

redhat

I love being silly.

Aidan was really sick with the stomach flu, poor kid had to have an iv. I tried to be a brave brother by standing near him and playing cars with him- I put my lucky red car on his belly to make him have a speedy recovery.

aj iv

In hospital bed.

IMG00358

At home with the iv still in, but he bounced back so fast that they took it out.

Aidan is doing really well now, resting a lot but he smiles and coos once again.

IMG_4769

"coo!"

Here's me at 2 months old for comparison:

cute

We look different don't me? First of all, Aidan has blue eyes for sure.

And yes, my brother has red hair- he also has more hair than I had until I reached around 6 months old.

IMG_4789

Aidan's hair.

Here's me at 6 months:

IMG_8200

See? Wasn't kidding- I was around 7.5 months old at that time.

IMG_4793

In one of my possible career's uniform, hey, think cleanly!

IMG_4804

Dad and I in front of a plane at an open house of an airfield in Livermore. Look carefully, you'll see two planes zooming behind us :)

IMG_4811

Mi casa :) I love our new home. We're still moving things around but for now, Aidan and I have invaded our home.

IMG_4751

And Aidan says hello by the way.

Til then,
eitan
