Leif and Cade continue to grow and amaze us every day (as well as challenge us). In case anyone's wondering, two is our number and we're going to stick with that...no more kids. These two boys are quite a lot to handle actually. If Leif isn't tackling the dog, he's tackling Cade or me! And Cade is busy pointing out anything and everything large that moves. He's starting to talk more though he hasn't quite reached the point of wanting to walk yet. The best is when Leif says "I love you Cade! You're my best friend!" If that doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what could. That's followed up by too many kisses on the cheek and a tight squeeze from Leif, which leads to Cade fussing. The outpouring of affection seems constant with Leif, which is so sweet, but Cade gets a little frustrated obviously. I can hardly wait until Cade is big enough to hold his own. They'll be wrestling all around, I'm sure of it!
We're spending as much time as possible outside to release some of that energy. Leif loves looking for bugs, though he's not so gentle with them so he usually ends of squashing them. He likes to carry them around in his bug kit (thanks to the Steele Family:)! Cade is happy just pushing himself backwards in his Cozy Coupe. He does go forward once in awhile, but his preferred direction is reverse! Leif also really likes to ram into his brother in the Cozy Coupe with his tractor. It's like bumper cars!!
Here's Leif with his first fish that he "caught" while fishing with Grandpa Butch, Justin, Tom and Clayton (I believe Clayton actually caught it and then put it on Leif's pole when he wasn't looking). He was very proud of his perch!
Leif turned 3 years old on 9/22! I made him a special cake (if any of you mom's out there want the recipe, just let me know - very easy and so fun)!
