Tristan - 11 months
Tristan has remained my "chill kid" by comparison (because Elijah is insane) but around the 11 month mark, he really began to show his silly side. He giggles at his brother all of the time and has started chasing him around with his weird, little crawl.
For the most part, the boys have started playing really well together. So well, in fact, that I have been able to leave them to their own devices long enough to make dinner in peace (well, 'peace' is a relative term in my household). Tristan has started to get less and less patient with big brother's craziness though and will start crying if Elijah is getting on his nerves. Elijah, fearing the wrath of his parents, immediately stars kissing Tristan to try and make up for his wrong-doings, but to no avail...this only makes Tristan more upset. lol
The following provides a substantial amount of proof to the silliness that has blossomed from my youngest. Enjoy...

Elijah
This little boy is the heart and soul of this family. He is so hilarious and smart and stubborn and ridiculous. He has the biggest imagination and the goofiest personality. Every day he is telling us stories about what he has done that week or talking his Papaw's ear off on the phone. He is a constant source of entertainment and energy and, although life with this terrible-two-year-old is exhausting, it is SO MUCH FUN.
He can say the entire Lord's Prayer by heart. He knows every word to Lord Prepare Me (his favorite song), Jesus Loves Me, and many, many more. It blows my mind how smart this kid is. He can count to 20 (although he generally skips 15 and 16) and he knows all of his colors. He is a mad-man by day...but at bed time, he's a cuddly little puddle of love and it is the best.
