The Fish Family: Cookie Monster

things I love about my boys

*when I lay in bed with Carter some mornings, and he likes to read books or play with my phone. But, the phone or flashlight is too bright in his dark room, so he puts on his sunglasses
*the way Graham snuggles his head on my shoulder and sticks his arms straight down when he's tired or when he first wakes up
*Graham screams like crazy while I'm changing him, but as soon as we're finished, he's completely fine
*Carter's negotiating skills
*now that Graham can stand, he'll lean against me with his head and put his arms straight down at his sides
*when Carter plugs his ears as we walk past "the loud store" (Abercrombie) at the mall
*the way Carter tests his limits (although not always cute at the moment)
*Graham pretty much smiles all the time
*sometimes when people ask Carter, "How are you?" he'll reply, "I have a cough."
*the way Graham gets excited to see Cleo, our dog
*Carter's sense of humor
*Graham's laugh when I kiss his neck
*when Carter starts a sentence with "Can you 'magine if..."
*how Graham grabs my face with both hands
*the way Carter sleeps with a corner of his blanket in his ear
*Although he speaks really well, some of Carter's words crack me up: burger (booger), gril (girl), bumember (remember), and I can add an "S" to almost any word I don't understand to make sense of it
