Counting

C's been doing this for about a week now, but I was finally able to capture it on video. This girl totally gets the concept of two is more than one!

Welcome back!

As in, welcome back to the world of blogging!

It's be a while (I know, i'm sorry), but I'm going to try to make a better effort to keep up this summer. To get us started, some weekend fun :o)

Start 'em young

How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
Practice! Practice! Practice!

It's never two young to start 'em singing :o)  Thank you Jean for leading the tune!

Yup, we're in trouble

Hair Cut

I've been thinking for a while now that C needed a hair cut. Sure it's fun to show off what long hair your 18 month old has, but when it's been almost a year since her last hair cut, something got to give.  So today, we went from pony plus clips...

to hair on the floor while Alex tried to keep her attention facing forward. (Let the record show he did an admirable job).

The result, an cute little bob that's off her neck and easier to keep out of her face.

And for the record, she still likes boots :o)

I can do it!

Scene: we're all sitting in the living room.

C grabs the baby dinosaur book. Walks by Sarah.

Sarah: Hey kiddo, do you want me to read that to you?

C: No

C walks over to Alex.

Alex: Do you want to read that with me?

C: No

C walks over to the chair. Throws the book up on the chair. Wriggles up on the chair by herself, and stars to read.  Guess we've done our job :o)

More puddle

So if you're sick of the puddle in our back yard, stop reading now :o)

This afternoon Alex was around.

(shhh, let's not tell him I posted that picture) 

With backup on watch, I was able to get out the nice camera and take a few shots. C is so funny about this puddle. Half the time she just stands in it totally serious, the other half of the time shes dancing and splashing and cracking herself up.  For the sake of our grass I hope it drys up soon, but man has it been entertaining.

Max, however, continues to be unimpressed.
