I cannot tell you how much I love Wally and Brady's relationship already. It is going to be so much fun to watch it grow through the years. We can already pin point Wally as the laid back brother and Brady as the more intense one. No big surprise there, but is so cute to see their personalities develop. Colby and I both think Wally is on track to be the bruiser of the two. He is thicker and longer and eats more than Brady ever did. We will just have to wait and see! This weekend I put them in our bed together while Brady was watching Backyardigans. Wally seemed to enjoy it too.
Wally is starting to laugh and still smiles all the time. Even his caretakers at school comment on how "Wally loves me, he's always smiling at me!" I can't break it to them that he smiles at everyone. He is really starting to laugh too, which is the most beautiful sound to any parent's ears.
This weekend we took Brady to see the ducks and turtles at
Northpark again. The last time we were there, he fell in. Flipped right over the railing and I about had a heart attack. I had to pull him out of the water by his shirt collar and attracted the attention of a police offiicer and multiple mall patrons who rushed over to help. It was awful and I had to wheel my 2 1/2 year old out of the mall soaking wet. We talked about it this time and he remembered the drama from our last visit. He even pointed out where we were standing when he fell in. He was much more cautious during this visit, thank goodness.
Wally is now sleeping from about 9:00pm until 3:00am and then from 4:00am until usually around 6:30 or 7:00am. Not bad at all. One feeding a night is very doable, but I do get extremely giddy when he makes it until 5:30 or 6:00am! He will get the hang of it soon enough.
