Roly Poly Baby

I am sad that Tristan (aka Lowly) is over 12 months now!  He is now Lowly.  I have prayed for the relationship between him and Jude to be very close.  The twins still struggle to include him in their whirlwind life.  They are viewing him as a baby instead of a playmate.  Jude was already named "Huckleberry Pie" based on a Strawberry Shortcake character, and then shortened to Huckle.  A couple weeks ago when Petra was spending the night at Vovo's I took Jude and Tristan to the "sand pit" near our house.  Jude was annoyed that Tristan was attempting to play with his rake and dump truck.  I said "He's Lowly, he is your partner."  He seemed to like it.  Huckle and Lowly are forever adventuring in the Richard Scarry books that are a daily part of our lives.
I feel so aware of Tristan's growth and am sad his baby-ness is fading.  I just went in his room to make sure he was covered and he sat up and wiggled his little legs with a very sleepy expression.  Then he bent over on his tummy and fell back asleep. His newest trick is to crawl over and bite me- on the elbow, knee, arm, wherever.  Then he smiles and giggles-especially if I say "no."
