Looking for an escape? Not so much, I love my brother!

Justin is now standing & cruising...he walks the length of our coffee table which is about 3-5' long. In fact, two mornings ago Philip walked into his room to get him in the morning and it was the first time he was standing up in his crib 'talking'...not yelling, just basically hanging out. What has really surprised us is that last night he crawled halfway up the stairs (about 5 or so steps)! He only turned 8 months old this past Tuesday...I think big brother Jordan is the main reason Justin is doing all these things; Jordan will get on the ground and crawl and Justin will just take off following him to keep up and play with him. Now that Justin has gotten so much bigger, they are acting like brothers being able to play together! What was really funny was a couple of nights ago they were fighting over this aqua doodle drawing pad...Justin was crawling on it trying to get the water marker from Jordan; Philip and I were standing back smiling because it was the first true interaction of 'brotherly love', with MANY more to come we're sure:)

Thanksgiving went great...Jordan had lots of fun playing with Holly; I'll have to post some pics over the weekend. I'm looking to finish Christmas shopping this weekend, so we'll see how that goes!

Getting SO BIG & growing up TOO FAST!

Justin is now sitting up unassisted and crawling all over the place. I set him down by the kitchen and he found his way into the front room to be with his brother. He just seems so much bigger obviously then Jordan was at 7 months, but I swear he's extra long...look at the pictures below, especially the couple in his diaper. He's basically been wearing 12 month clothes since he was just about 6 months old. I can't believe in 5 months already that he'll be a one-year old toddler...

Below are pictures for your viewing pleasure of the little (well actually big) guy!

He's on the move!

Justin has started crawling today! It's the funniest thing to see since he's doing it in a pretty choppy fashion...Once he's up on all 4's, he pushes/inches forward across the floor. He went approximately 5 feet to get Jordan's Halloween mask because it must've looked so good:) I moved the mask and he again took off after it; this went on for about 4 different times over a 10 minute period. Of course I didn't have the video camera out, so I'll post video of him doing this tomorrow since it's now his 'new thing' to do!!!

A few new pictures of the boys
