Sweet babies

Nico loves being a big brother.  He is having a little bit of a hard time being gentle, but really all that stems from wanting to be near Yuri.  It is very sweet!

Such cuties!

Same attention span

Yuri looks SO much like Nico it is scary.  The only major difference is the skin color.  We think the shape of the eyes will wind up being a little different as well, but for now it's hard to tell the baby pictures apart.

Yuri is now officially in size 2 diapers and for the most part size 6-9 month clothes.  I've really tried to keep him in size 3, but they are just getting too tight.  While Nico is more proportioned throughout his body, Yuri has a long, thin body.  I don't think his legs are incredibly long for his body so considering we're dressing him only in onesies because it's so hot, he has to wear the older month clothes for them to be long enough.  Oh well we went through this with Nico too, but since Yuri started off a full two inches longer than Nico it's going by faster.  We also decided to go ahead and break down the play-yard that we were using as a diaper change station.  He is so long that we were having to angle him sideways to fit into it.  We only used it for a few months with Nico, but we didn't even make it to two months!

Other than that, things are going well.  Yuri has started to smile and Nico loves to have Yuri smile at him.  We are also starting to work more with Nico on his speech.  I can understand him, but he is saying so much more now that some days it is really difficult.  So we are working on his 'S' and 'L' sounds.  Lions like lemondrops, don't they?
