A little this and a little that




A couple of weekends ago, we visited our friends the Carlstoms for a bbq. Ava was also there and she and Liam played very nicely together as he was able to hold off her agressive advances toward whatever he was holding. I think Liam's favorite game in the playhouse was "open and shut" with the door. Always the gentleman, Liam held the door for Ava.



Last week we went to a special ceremony where grandma received an an honor at work. She got a pen and a handshake and her grandsons were there to cheer for her.

A few weeks back we met our friend Martha, who was visiting from Minnesota, at the Vic. She sent us this picture of Liam ordering extra bacon. It's amazing how well Liam does when he is out at restaurants. I hear horror stories of toddlers misbehaving and being miserable in restaurants but Liam has always been an easy child to take out. I think it's because he is so sociable. So far Luke has been easy too although we haven't taken him out all that much.


Luke will be 6 months old on Sunday and I'll post his stats after his doctor's appointment which is not yet scheduled. He loves to roll onto his tummy and can spend quite a while playing that way. He pushes his arms straight against the floor and he is able to keep his head up and look around. He has also become distracto boy. Any noise or movement nearby and he turns to see what's going on. Bottle feeding is easier than nursing when he is like this because at least you can move the bottle with him. Nursing, not so much. Thank goodness he is weaning pretty easily. I am moving to 2 (from 3) nursing sessions per day today.
