First Time Down!

Anders was courageous enough to try the water slide today! Here he is, with Anna scooping him up as he came streaming down the slide!

Words


Words.
Yes indeed.
Jakob is trying very hard to articulate, and seriously says TRACTOR.
It of course would be indistinguishable to the untrained ear, but to us it is clear as a bell. (Jakob's pronunciation sounds like Qac Qer).
Two clear syllables, and a change in emphasis too.
He is so excited about his new word that he woke up at 2 a.m. last night saying Qac Qer over and over. He learned this word while pushing a tractor all over the grass on Thursday. Motoring along, cruising in fact, he gleefully pronounced the word tractor.

Okay, and speaking of motoring.
Yes indeed.
Jakob is trying even harder to walk upright. He pulls himself up on everything and pushes anything that can be pushed. Strollers, tractors, chairs, you name it. He also seems to have a passion for climbing. Left to himself, that boy would crawl his way up to the top of the Empire State building. I do believe he will be walking within a month.

And, eating. Did I mention how big his appetite is? For anything and everything. Stones, dirt, paper, stickers, oh, and real food too. This is the boy we need to watch 24/7.

Sleeping Beauties

I figured out a new idea for a series over time. Snapshots of the boys asleep in the stroller.
It happens enough that over time I could get a fabulous collection of the two of them. Here they are absolutely zonked out and yet, still looking fresh. How do they do it?

Nine 9 Months Old!!


8 Months Old

Here he is with his new silver baby cup given to him by Mor Far.
