The Camera's Back...

...And I've got pictures to share again! Let's be honest, we all know this is the real reason you all check this blog. It's for the boys, I can handle that. Well these boys that we all love are becoming so mischievous! They are all over the place and they're getting fast, too. They love the dishwasher. I have to be quick about loading it because as soon as the door opens they are right there to pull out all the silverware. So last week I opened it up and was rinsing some dishes when I look down and see Jack on the dishwasher, standing inside it and holding on to the top rack. Oh dear. So naturally I grab the camera and take a picture, then get him down. I put the camera down and then they are both inside the dishwasher! Apparently Henry felt left out and could not refuse an opportunity to try something as new and exciting as playing in a kitchen appliance. It's the only one they can play in, really. The fridge and oven are definitely off-limits. So I indulged them long enough to get a few pictures, then promptly removed them.

Remember that warm, sunny day I blogged about? I know, I almost forgot about it, too, what with all the snow that's been falling around here for the past couple of days! I'm glad I took advantage of the warmth while it lasted, not by frolicking outdoors, of course, but by dressing the boys up in polo t's, shorts and sandals! That's how we celebrate warmer weather around here. Aren't they adorable? I'm not sure how they felt about the thong part of the sandal being thrust between their toes, but it's a small price to pay when you look so good.

I'm almost positive the boys are perpetual teethers. They chew on everything, including their own fingers! I mean, that's gotta hurt considering Jack already has two very razor-sharp teeth in there. The finger in the mouth, this is the new look for these boys.

Other discoveries/tricks/habits they've picked up from one place or another...

Jack: says "sssat" meaning "What's that?", shakes his head as a form of dancing when he hears music or when I sing at random, gives kisses, makes motor noises with his mouth as he pushes anything along the ground like a car, crawls lightning fast, loves emptying the trash can in our bedroom, loves emptying my tupperware drawer, is a fan of Fig Newtons (a kid after my own heart).

Henry: pats his hands together to sign "more", claps his hands when I say "Yaaaay!", clicks his tongue (like you do when you make the sound of horses' feet), makes kissing noises, loves being read to, eats bread like it's going out of style, loves emptying the trash can in our room, is also a fan of Fig Newtons, and occasionally stands on his own in the middle of the floor (he has great balance and posture, this kid).
