Sweet faces

This past weekend, Emerson was entertaining us with his many faces.  I didn't catch many on film (well, "film" is an outdated word... on 'digital'?  ... what DO you call it?)

 but I love the ones I did manage to capture!  He was making faces at his Papa...and then his Papa would copy him...then he'd change to another face...and his Papa would copy him...

 This 'game' was more than faces.  Emerson would jump up and hit something...his Papa would do the same thing...

 This face was when he was 'talking on the phone' with his Daddy... only his Daddy was sitting about 2 feet away....

Just sweet :)

 
 Ummm?  Let me think about that one!

Again, just sweet!

Emerson King... so many faces, and I just love each one of them!

Talking on the phone

 Emerson was in a talking-on-the-phone mood...

 "Hello!"

 "Hi, Eme!"

 "What are ya doing?"

 "What are you doing, Eme?"

 Emerson had a grand time talking on the phone with his Daddy...

 He kept switching the "phones"... 

 (One of the phones happened to be the remote control to the TVs!)

How fun it is to talk to little guys...

Just playing with my cousin

As has already been noted here on the JohnstonChronicles, Emerson and Benjamin had a grand time just playing...  One of the things they did was color and write. 

 

Their Papa nabbed them whenever he could...to try and hold them together - a difficult task!

They both got a little marker on them...but none on the floor, none on the walls, mainly just on the butcher paper...

Emerson has loved to write 'ABCs' and '123s' for quite awhiile...

They were both pretty intent in their writing...

OK, enough of the writing...it was time to do something else.  I'm not really sure what they were looking at here...but they seem to be in awe of something! 

My little men!

My little men who are almost 2 1/2 years old!  Emerson will be 2 1/2 in 11 days... Benjamin in 28 days... how can that be?  I can't imagine them not talking...not running around.... but at the same time, I so remember these little guys as, well, little guys!

This was hilarious...Emerson sitting on one of Benjamin's 3 potty chairs..and then Benjamin taking a seat on his lap! 

Oops....let's switch!

Next up was cars!  Benjamin loves to do this...he and I did it when I was here when he was recovering from pneumonia...and he loves to do it with his daddy... and now, what fun to play cars with his cousin!

I absolutely love this!  Look at Emerson's follow through!  That little car was zooming across the floor!

Emerson figured out the car didn't roll as well on the carpet...

so the boys went to rolling the big truck...

 Nope, never mind the truck.  Emerson decided to stick with the blue car!

 I love his arms!  He put his all into zooming that car across the floor!

 OK, let's check out the truck...

 Time to examine it...

 I think this little man was starting to wind down...

 starting to get ready to settle down for the night...

until Uncle Donnie, or 'Daddy' to Benjamin, decided to do a little wrestling!

What fun for these little guys to have a cousin so close in age...what fun for this Mimi to have two little men growing up together...

One of the many things I'm grateful for!

Woody....

 Woody!  That's who my little guy was for Halloween!

Emerson definitely loves his cartoons...Woo Woo Wubsy, Cars...

I would have loved to have seen him actually trick-or-treating!  When my friend, Karen, came to the door with her two little boys - Jack and Max - I looked at Max and wished for my little men!  Max is just about their same age.

Emerson, did you eat much candy?

(On a side note...this is my 700th post here on the JohnstonChronicles!)
