Best Buds

David and Madeline are always together. Sometimes Madeline likes being with David and other times he just pesters her. As well as being together, David likes to suck on a soothie(what we call a pacifier) just like Madeline. I can't figure out how to break him of this habit until we just get rid of them from our house. Here is David and Madeline both enjoying their soothies. A little side note; Last week David fell off the trampoline wish was too close to our patio. He landed on his face and that is why he has the black eye and scratches, we do not beat our children.

At breakfast I asked David to scoot over so I could help Madeline eat her cream of wheat. David would not move but said that he would feed her, and he did! It was a bit messy but their independence was funny.

One evening I was letting Madeline play in the sink and of course David had to join, he couldn't be left out of the fun.


I asked David to empty the silverware and he enlisted Madeline's help. It was fascinating to watch them working together. She took the silverware from the basket, handed it to David, then David put it away, what a pair!

I hope they keep this friendship throughout their lives!

I liked reding this post, it made me remember what Caleb and Mia were like at that age. They were also best buds but they didn't really have many options. That black eye is one of the best I've seen in a while.

Madelyn is so cute! And I love them in the kitchen sink. It's worth having them close together when they're good friends, right?
