I was reading Laura's blog, and she mentioned how surprised she was at some of the stuff Ben has learned to do. It made me think about all the stuff Elias & Jacob are learning (almost every day there's something new!) that I don't even realize until someone else mentions it. Yesterday morning we called Paw-Paw just to say hi, and Elias actually carried on some conversation. And when I tell him to hand the phone over to let me talk, he actually will hand it back.
My favorite is when Zach is swinging Elias around, and when he counts to 3 he tosses Elias onto our bed. Now when Zach starts counting, Elias will finish counting for him. It's really funny when I count to 3 before he gets in trouble, because he'll finish counting for me, too. (is he that eager to get in trouble?)
Elias also surprised me yesterday. He's got a little photo album of family pictures. He usually goes through the album, & I'll tell him who everyone is. Lately, he'll pick out Zach & I, but won't say anyone else's name. Yesterday, he was flippng through, pointing out Zach's parents & my dad, & Faith, Andrew & Lori. The only hang-up he had was that he thought the baby in the picture was Jacob, even after I told him that baby was Elias!
Jacob is just about sitting up on his own, although he's still pretty wobbly. He's so sweet, trying to reach out and touch your face while you hold him. Yesterday he grabbed 2 big handfulls of my hair, and thought that was the best thing ever! He watches Elias so intently that I know in a few months I'm going to be running to keep up with those 2!
