A few favorite things

These pictures were taken over the past month and show what are boys are constantly doing:

Noah LOVES baseball. He could play all day everyday if he had the chance. As soon as we go outside he requests his glove and baseball and he's ready for us to play catch. If we're in the house he wants to play catch as well, so we have many soft balls available for this. Everything he wears is "baseball" even if it has nothing to do with the game! Clay is so proud of his boy and I think may expect a change in sports in a few weeks when LSU plays their first game of the season :)
He also loves shoes of any sorts. One night we went to tell the boys good night and found Noah in his bed like this. Apparently after we put him to sleep, he gets up and gets his favorite shoes out of his closet and tries them on. He also likes wearing my flip flops or slip on shoes.

Today he was wearing my flip-flops and I told him they were too big for him. He claimed they were not too big for him, even though they were hanging off his feet. There is no reasoning with this kid. He is very confident in his ideas and there isn't usually any way to persuade him. What's a kind way of calling my son stubborn?

Jude's favorite thing to do is CLIMB! If there is a chair nearby he will find a way onto the couch, the top of the picnic table, or the top of the small Cars table in our living room. He also escapes outside if the door is left open for even a moment. He will climb onto or into any ride on toy that is available. He's also climbed up several slides recently. All this climbing makes me so nervous. He's not even walking yet, so his stability is pretty shaky. Now my eyes are on 2 kids every minute of the day. It's a good thing our house has already been child-proofed!
