So this is a daily activity these days. As soon as we go upstairs they both head for the bathroom. It started out when Pierce would be brushing his teeth, Holt would climb up too and scream until I brushed his and handed him his toothbrush. Now Pierce’s newest thing is filling up the sink with water and playing in it. Holt soon joins in the fun. And mom and dad let them do it because its our first glimpse at them entertaining themselves while playing together.
Along with this, Holt wants to do everything his big brother does. People ask ..is Holt really similar to Pierce? It looks yes, in personality not a thing. I love it though because they are both so different but special in their own way. Pierce has always been very careful and cautious. It takes him a few tries and encouragement to do something new. He is extremely neat, guess he takes after his daddy on this one. He also has his daddy’s engineering mind and loves putting things together and thinking through what he is doing. He has his mommy’s mouth and never stops talking and always has questions. He loves books and would let me read a few books at a time since he was probably six months old. He still takes 3 hour naps many of days and sleeps great at night.
Now, Holt has no fear. His favorite place to be is climbing up the stairs or on the fireplace hearth. His first interest when he started crawling was electrical outlets. He puts everything in his mouth! Pierce never put small things in his mouth. He loves to eat and loves to make the biggest mess in the process. I never understood why people said they had to bath their kids after they eat...now I do. He climbs everything, stools, boxes, Tupperware, you name it. Sleep, well who needs sleep. Actually he does great at night now. But I think he’s slept past 7:30 once and past 6:45 is a really good day. And while Pierce still takes a 3 hour nap many of days, Holt never has in 12 months. An hour is usually all he needs. Books..he loves them but just for a second and then he hands me a new one. He usually shuts it by the second page and is on to the next or is eating the book.
So there’s a little glimpse into each of my boys, we look forward to seeing how they change as they grow up...just not too fast.

I'm so proud of how you're keeping up with your blog! See, it's not hard at all :) Don't you just love the different personalities? That's one of our favorite parts of having 4. It was fun reading about the differences in Pierce and Holt.
i love it! it was fun reading your insight on your boys...the funniest thing is i bought keller a stool for the downstairs bathroom two days ago, and they do the same thing..keller love to "wash hands" meaning fill the sink w water and coleman climbs up the stool to "see" as well:)
