New Tricks

S has learned a new trick. He can crawl into the rocking chair all by himself. He can also crawl out without falling on his head. The latter is most exciting to mommy & daddy. Yes he is playing with a powder bottle. That and a yogurt cup (empty and washed of course) are the best toys in the whole world. While he is in the rocking chair, he actually rocks. S throws his head back against the chair and rocks. How he doesn't get a headache I do not know.

They both have the booster seats that you can strap into a regular chair in leiu of a high chair, or for when they feel they are too big for a high chair. My MIL discovered the boys like to play in these seats. So they are now prominetly displayed in the disaster zone, I mean the living room. It's great. It's like each boy has his own chair. And you should see them getting in and out of it. They don't stand in front of it and sit down, like we would. They crawl into it from the side. And B is bigger so he sometimes gets his legs stuck. Then it's mommy to the rescue!

I'm pretty sure if B could talk in this picture he would say "Get your foot OFF my chair!"

My parents found toy cell phones for the boys, and one remote control. They like to play with our TV remote, which leads to all sorts of excitement on the TV. So now they have one with Cookie Monster eyes on the top. And they actually have 3 phones, one is not a flip phone, so it can double as a remote. Actually, the boys think they are all phones.

We have been working on finding your nose. That is apparently much more fun than finding your ear. Both boys can find their nose which they think is hilarious. They giggle when they find their nose. But they just stare at me when I say "Where is your ear?" Baby steps.

It's bed time. Let's hope and pray that S will sleep all night tonight. Lately he's been waking up around 1 or 2 or 3am, and staying awake for a few hours. That's such a joy to his parents!

I will leave you with a picture of B and his daddy, "horsing" around!
