Never Say Never

So at first we said "Absolutely not, no large, hulking piece of plastic thing that occupies 2/3 of our living room". Then we saw the look on Ethan's face...

The wisdom of the elders

H. has an enjoyable chat with Gpa and Great-Granny B (Bruns, that is). It was the first time he got to meet Great-Granny B and now that she's living closer, hopefully he'll get to see her a lot more often.

What'cha doin'?

Part of the joy of twins has been watching them "discover" each other. They can make each other laugh, calm each other down just by being near one another, and provide us with endless hours of entertainment.

Yes, I realize one day soon they will also entertain each other by flinging peas at each other at the dinner table, but I try not to think about that.

From the holidays

So a funny thing happened on the way...

I swear I left him in the family room playing on their playmat....

Frankly, I think he was as surprised to see me as I was to see him.

He's gotten quite good at perambulating simply by rolling over until he gets where he wants to go.

I'm not sure what it says about our children that instead of crawling, one just rolls over and over until he gets there while the other scoots everywhere on his back.

Ahhh, the good life...

Like son

I've seen that same look on Todd's face when I've tried feeding him vegetables too...

Who needs TV

Ethan has a little rainforest thingy-ma-bob that plays music (complete with rainstick noise to evoke feelings of South America apparently), a little monkey that swings back and forth, a fish that, well, bloobs air bubbles, and little poison dart frogs that sort of lean out from behind leaves. Needless-to-say, it provides endless hours of entertainment.

Exploring the world

Hmmm...
hint of plastic, dusting of cat hair...what else is that flavor, I can't quite place it...

The Holidays

Thanks to a friend of ours for playing Santa!
