So, as you can see from the last post...Matthias is now smiling! It's the greatest thing to look at him, smile and for him to smile back. I just love it!! It's just another sign that he's getting bigger : (. He's becoming more alert as well, which is kind of nice. I just can't believe he already 2 1/2 months old!

Justus is getting bigger too. I can't believe how big he is. He has lost his "infant" look and is starting to look more and more like a little boy everyday. He's so smart too! It's so cute to watch him explore. He is getting good at stacking blocks and just figuring things out. We are going to be in trouble when he gets a little taller because he already has a fascination with opening and closing doors, and he knows the knob has somthing to do with that. When he shuts a door all the way he reaches up to try to grab the knob. Justus is also starting to understand a lot more things that we say. He will usually come to us when we say, "Justus, come here." Not always will he come, but he usually will. He also understands that when we put our hand out and say, "let me see" that we want what he has. The only time he is hesitant is when it's food. He really likes to hand us balls so that we will throw them so he can go it and bring it back. He has fun doing it, although I feel as though I'm playing "fetch" with him. We are still having a pretty hard time getting him to eat things. We are still feeding him jar food so that he is getting enough fruits and vegetables. We've tried to introduce a few things, but he still isn't too willing to try things.

Nothing else new. I get to pick up Matthias' pictures on Friday! I'm pretty excited to get to hang one up in the living room since the walls are dominated by photos of Justus right now. I know Matthias doesn't know the difference though. Here's a couple of pictures...
