The Sibling Project - The Boys in June | 2017

Posted on the 15 June 2017 by Alex_bumptobaby @bumptobaby_blog
For once I had so many photos of my boys together from this month to choose from.. I think it's to do with the combination of the lovely weather which means we're doing more, getting outdoors more and I'm having my camera out more. Plus the fact that Logan is very nearly 2 (his birthday is the 30th June), so the boys seem a lot closer as Logan learns and understands more. The Sibling Project - The Boys in June | 2017
Logan has shown us that he really is understanding what we're saying to him this month. He can point out things in books and communicates with us just like his big brother did at his age. Logan has followed Ethan's developmental stages pretty much exactly the same - Ethan was a late speaker, and I think little Logan will be the same. Although, Logan does say a few words to us, where as Ethan pretty much said nothing until he was nearly 3, despite understanding what we were saying to him.

It's been great to see this change in Logan. I love when you can really start to understand what they want a bit more, it makes life a lot easier! But of course, it's often when the tantrums start as they realize that just because they can tell/show you what they want, it doesn't always mean that they can have it.

The boys are just as spirited, lively and energetic as they've always been and there's no slowing them down. I was saying on my Instagram Stories the other day that I feel like they take it in turns to be naughty, almost like they're in a relay race with each other. And when they're both naughty together - well, that's when I want to leave the country! Haha. ;)

I couldn't choose between all of the photos of them that I had this month, so I basically just decided to go ahead and share most of them! I think I'll always be that parent who thinks there is nothing more adorable than seeing her babies together. Everytime that Ethan reaches out and takes Logan's hand my heart bursts a little bit more and all I want to do is capture the moment, so that I never forget it!

But these sweet photos aren't to say that my boys always adore each other, because as much as they can be best buds, they still squabble as all siblings do. It's mostly over random objects that become the center of both of their universes for all of 5 minutes. Or Ethan's model collections that he sets up in the middle of the living room floor and then has a meltdown if Logan even dares to enter the living room, even to play with his own toys. Or Ethan will set them up on the kitchen table, but all over it, so that no one can eat! Just typical sibling behavior really!

I've also noticed that if I'm taking photos of Logan, Ethan will want me to make sure that I get a picture of him too. Or if I'm hugging/playing with Logan, Ethan has to have the same. It's funny watching their little sibling relationship develop!

So those are my favorite snaps of the boys this month! I also wanted to share this one of me with the boys, just because I love it. I've been lucky enough to get a few nice ones of me with the boys this past month which I love. In fact I have lots I really love from over the years. I think it's so important to make sure us Mummies and Daddies get in the pictures sometimes too! :)
