Helpers

Austin really loves getting in the cupboards right now.  There are a couple that I let him play in and don't worry about much.  And since Austin is having fun with it, Zach thinks he should do it too.



I initially thought this was funny, til I realized he had my glass lids, not my old metal ones.  At least they're pretty tough.


Trying to imitate Zach.

Drumming away.


At least he's not obsessed with my baking cupboard, like Zach was.  Zach used to regularly empty my baking soda.... til we got a latch on it finally!  Perhaps we should work on that before he sees what fun it could be...

February?

Is it really already February? It seems every year that January slips by without my noticing. And once again it is by far the month with the fewest photos. I guess I inadvertantly take a break after the holidays. Anyway, here are a few photos from the past couple of weeks. And maybe it's time to get my camera out again!

Zach started his first swim lessons this last week. He loves it and has done great so far! He goes 2 evenings a week in a class with 2 other little boys. Here he is on the side waiting for the other boys so they can do red light, green light (kicking).


Zach has discovered our DS. I don't particularly like that he uses it, and he doesn't get to play too much, but he (and I) need some down time sometimes (and I do like to shower!). And I like that he can at least practice things like letters and numbers on it. I can't wait for nicer weather!

Very focused.

Austin is BUSY these days. Moving constantly, pulling things out of cupboards, charging up the stairs when he thinks I'm not watching, chewing on everything in sight, cruising around furniture, and can stand on his own for a few seconds. He just started walking while we hold his hands and he is so proud of himself.
