I'm back home from El Paso, and I sure miss those boys. They were so much fun while I was there. They both think Grammy is fun because she doesn't have anything to do except play with them all day and read to them all night. And Grammy watches Noggin all day, too, without complaining. Grammy never turns on a boring ball game or news show (at least not while they are in the room). Grammy hardly ever says no. And when you get really fussy, Grammy takes you to McDonalds to play instead of making you take a nap.
I am so proud of Bailey because he has done really great with his potty training. I know after the way he acted the first day, Jen and Jake were amazed at how much he improved over the next few days. His biggest problem seems to be not knowing that all potties are the same. He uses the one at home just fine, but when we took him to the potty at a restaurant or the mall, he threw a fit and refused to even try sitting on them. He did do one funny thing last night. He wanted to go outside to play in the backyard, but we told him he needed to go potty first. Of course, he said he didn't need to go potty. So, I told him I'd take the little potty chair outside so he could use it when he needed it. That was OK with him. He went outside and after less than 5 minutes, he was pulling his pants down. But instead of sitting on the potty chair, he just peed in the grass. Jen and I were just glad they have a nice 5 foot stone privacy fence!!

Maverick is the cutest little thing you ever saw, but he is an eating and drinking machine!! He will eat 24/7 if you let him. And when you give him a sippy cup of juice, he drains it everytime. He doesn't understand the concept of "sippy". He sucks it down as fast as he can and then asks for more, along with "fish" (the cheesy cracker shaped ones) and "bar" (the granola kind, which he doesn't really want, but that's the only word he knows that gets the pantry opened so he can point to something else).
Here are some pictures I took while I was there. This is Bailey and Maverick after they'd just had a bath, turning out the lights trying to scare Jen and me. I was taking these pictures because Pop sent them some new pajamas, but as you will see, we never got them to stand still long enough to get a good picture.
