Things I Have No Explanation For...

The following are pictures that perhaps I should be reluctant to share- but really, since I have absolutely no explanation for them.... I think you should get as much out of them as I have.Honestly, I have no idea where or how E got the idea to tuck her stack of pretend money into the front of her shirt like that. Honestly.


Not one to be outdone on silliness.... E's baby seat makes a very nice face shield/hat.


E cannot stop laughing each time she sees these pictures of L post bath. Especially the top one.


Sometimes you just a need a ballet partner. Alas, this is not the first time S has found himself in a tutu.


And sometimes, after a long day of bike riding, the very first day you get a new tricycle, you just fall asleep right on the wood floor. Sometimes I do that too...

Crawling

What do friends not let friends do? Watch video clips of their 10-11 month old learning to crawl? Oh no, wait, friends don't let friends drive drunk! Ok, then! In that case, here a couple clips of L in his crawling journey. And it was a crawling journey.


First Crawling- 5-23-10

Embarrassingly, it was actually very hard to get any video of L... where some frame did not include a picture of S in the background sans pants or underwear. Yes, S is being potty trained and really the only way to do this is the nakey approach. So, it took a while to get a G rated video of L crawling.... But here we do have S in the background. Completely asleep! This is after I have moved him from his nap in his bed onto the couch, hoping to wake him up. The kids were very tired from a long day of bike riding! Yes, bike posts to be coming soon!


Much better at crawling- 6-8-10

L is already even more coordinated with the crawling- if you know of a market for baby drool let me know.

We are now embarking on the effort to get him to sleep longer than a two hour stretch, which he hasn't ever done. This will involve some nights with even less sleep for a while, but hopefully, will result in a better night sleep for everyone in the end!
