Like Brother, Like Sister

Outside time is always a fun thing at our house. Reed loves that he can run around and play with sticks. Eve loves crawling through the grass and wood chips and loves crawling over almost anything she can find. One particularly beautiful October day, we played outside and it was awesome!

Reed found lots of sticks to play with. He would run back and forth on our grassy patch behind our apartment. He even explored the outside on an empty apartment. He got to scream and laugh as loud as he wanted. Yes, a great adventure!

Eve crawled all over the place. Every once in a while she would stop and do this pose (see picture below) that she has been doing every since she could move - I call it her model pose. Then, she would chase after Reed and almost catch him. She took pat in the exploration of the empty apartment (only the outside, of course) and tried to eat plenty of grass and sticks. Oh yes, and she did plenty of giggling and babbling.

Even though my kids are very different in many ways, they are also very similar in others. They both love to be outside. They both love sticks and wood chips. When Reed was Eve's age he loved crawling over almost anything as well. They both have infectious laughs and gorgeous eyes. Oh yes, and they both LOVE the piano and singing. Reed has loved it from the time he was teeny tiny and Eve has followed suit. She now climbs up the piano and plays the keys. They both have such a great time doing it! Ah sibling similarities :) Like brother, like sister. (Note: I cannot figure out why this is underlined and how to get it not underlined. Help?)

Eve singing and playing the piano.

These little Vans are compliments of Aunt Tifani. She always tries to keep her nieces and nephews looking good :) Sadly, Eve's feet don't fit in them anymore. :(

Pause for apple eating.

Eve just loving the grass!

Eve trying to catch Reed. Sometimes he thinks it fun, sometimes he hates it when she crawls after him. Today he thought it was fun.

Eve concentrating on some leaves.

Eve found some blades of grass that look tasty.

Eve thinks going over things is so much fun. She just laughs when she is doing it and when she gets over the object.

Reed running to the dog area. He loves the dirt over there for some reason (not actually in the dog area - just outside it). There are these stepping stones that have dirt/sand in between them. He loves it.

A game of chase, sort of :)

Reed with one of his many sticks.

Still having fun with the stick.

Model Pose - she has been doing this for months!

I made it bigger....but it got a little fuzzy.

Eve went straight for the window. Reed had to check out the door.

Then, Reed was lured to the door by Eve's excitement and tapping of the glass.
