July Birthdays

Jace and Tyler are getting close to their birthdays!! The count down started for Jace about two weeks ago and each day he has asked if his birthday is tomorrow yet. Its been really fun planning his birthday with him but its hard for him to understand that talking about his birthday doesn't mean that his birthday is that day. Jace decided that he wanted a Phineas and Ferb birthday party; which works out great because its about two brothers and the boys are sharing the birthday party. He also wants to have chocolate cake and for Tyler to have a smaller cake with a 1 on it because Tyler is one! He's a really big helper and always has an opinion on what we should do. 
Tyler is so strong, stubborn, and very determined.  He started crawling at 7 months walking at 10 and a half and this week made it all the way up the spiral slid at chick-fil-a! There was a 20 month old there who just started to make it to the top too. Tyler is my wild child. Nothing scares him and the more intense something is the more he loves it. 
Jace is my little negotiator. There is nothing he wont try to talk us into and he'll try several different ways to get us to say yes. In fact, once he got me so turned around about what I had said no to that I said "no water until you have your ice cream" meaning to say "no ice cream until you drink your water" and Jace said (pointing his finger at me and laughing) "You said it. You said it." Yep we're in trouble with that one. :) He is a very happy little boy and questions everything around him; which wears me out at times but he really wants to understand and learn about things around him. He can't wait to go to school in a year.
