5months old

Ever since Tiberias moved into Luke's bedroom Luke does not want to go to bed unless Tiberias is. At first I thought it might be that Luke didn't think it fair he had to go to bed if Ty was allowed to stay up. But now I honestly think Luke likes having the presence of a friend when he goes to bed. Their beds are on the same wall but not very close to each other. So I don't know if Luke can hear Ty breathing as he sleeps or what.
Tiberias usually falls right to sleep when I put him in his crib at night. Lachoneus might get out of bed once or twice before he actually goes to sleep.
For their naps Ty usually sleeps downstairs. We just put him in the toy room and close the door. Sometimes during the day he fights it. He'll be super sleepy but not want to go to sleep. We let him cry a few minutes and then he falls asleep.

One new thing Ty likes is hitting the keys on the computer keyboard. We use to be able to hold him without a problem when we use to the computer. But he's seen us use the keyboard so often that he wants to do it too. He loves hitting it!

Tiberias has no teeth yet and he does not sit up on his own. But I believe that in one month he will have a tooth or two popping up and he will sit up unsupported. We're working on Ty's sitting up unsupported. He's not very good at it even with support but he's been doing it for months! He loved sitting up at a very young age. When my parents were here in September he wanted to sit up. So I'm having him practice unsupported hoping that will help. He can do it for a few seconds. Sometimes he does very well, stopping himself from falling over and straightening up again.

With our efforts Lachoneus is starting to say three or four word sentences and yes "yes" and/or "no" to answer questions. It is slow going but atleast it's going.

Such Boys!

My sons already have such male characteristics.

Lachoneus is bored if I put on any cartoons that are really girly. Snow White, Cinderella...he won't watch them.

He loves construction machines such as Bull Dozers but calls them all "tractor". He loves real tractors too.

I think it's funny when I hear Luke speaking in a low pitch voice. He does it often and I'm not sure why.

Tiberias started doing the low pitch voice this morning! After his cooing he tried to say something and I was surprised his voice was low. :)

Ty already prefers women over men...he's a flirt. He will smile for all women I think...but not so much for men.

Now, Luke cannot stand to be dirty...but that's my fault. I've kept him too clean I guess. Every time he or his clothes get dirty I am quick to clean him up.
