Fun With Nate & Michael!

Noah and I got the opportunity to babysit Nate for an afternoon back in march and it was soooo much fun! We hadn't seen them in so long and it blew me away how big our kiddos are! This was the first time Noah actually played with another baby.

Sure, he has been with other babies, but they engaged in side by side play, not really with each other! It was pretty funny watching them. As soon as Noah would find a toy to play with, Nate would crawl over, check it out, and then swipe the toy. Noah would watch him for a minute and then go find something else, and it would start all over again. After about the 5th swipe, Noah started taking the toy back. Pretty funny to watch a power struggle between two babies, who can't stand up, walk or talk. At the end of the day, I was actually having to intervene and break them up. Cute!
















Nate watches Noah play...............then takes the box!












Noah takes the box back.........and Nate takes the block! :)











Nate takes toy from Noah..............Noah takes toy back!



eventually they compromise...with the help of mommy!




After the swiping play, we had some snacks and headed out to the Capitola Cliffs for a walk in the sunshine! When we got back Noah and Nate were at it all over again! We had a blast and geared up for a visit with Michael and Kat!












Noah "sharing" with Sydney...she was good and not "begging" but Noah was so generous, she couldn't resist!

though Noah rode in the Ergo on my back, he
REALLY wanted to climb in the stroller with Nate!

this last series cracks me up....

playing nicely, until Noah tried to take the toy...

...so Nate hit him!

Nate got mad that I scolded him, and didn't notice that

Noah was moving in to get revenge!

Noah tried to push him to the ground (or hold onto Nate because he couldn't stand up! Either way I had to step in again!)




About a week later, we had Kat and Michael for a visit...and she survived Bear Creek Road, despite all her fears!!! :) The boys are VERY mobile and VERY curious as to what each other are up to. This lead to the two of them chasing each other around the house and Kat & I following close behind. Justine stopped in for a quick visit and hit it off with Michael immediately and Kat was happy to have someone to follow back over the big scary mountain road!














Michael wanted to taste Noah....and left the drool marks to prove it!
