Jonathan and I were drawing and coloring together downstairs.  At one point, I had written his name, and then when we were cutting things, I cut a heart out around his name.  Soon after, I went to change Noah's diaper.

March 20 - Jonathan climbed over our chain link fence all by himself.

 

March 22 - He was pretending that his cereal was "vitamins" and counting them out to himself, "It's Saturday [eat one]...it's Monday [eat one]...it's Wednesday [eat one]...it's tomorrow...." (More)

After Noah's doctor appointment, we went to the grocery store.  I had parked forward-facing to a curbed, sloped sidewalk.  On the side of the walk opposite the parking lot was a railing.  Because of the curb, I did not push the cart to the trunk of my car as I usually do.  I turned it perpendicular to the sidewalk and rested it against the railing.

We went to Florida for vacation with the Daleys for one week and the Wightmans for another week.  It was a great time.  But this leaves me behind on posting, so here we go... (More)

I try to take Jonathan's questions seriously and answer them as accurately as I can.  This morning, I could not think of a better answer than "well, the cells, they just do." (Which is not very satisfying.)

Sung at a reasonable pace, it takes about 30 seconds to sing.  I have been using it as a device for preparing Jonathan (and myself) for the end of a nursing session (usually two times through.)  One not surprising result is that Jonathan is good at singing it himself now.  His one trouble spot is switching the J and K, but other than that, he does it well and even can go rather quickly.

Jonathan: "I know why Isaac died."

Mommy [thinking she'd like to know]: "You do? "

Jonathan: "It's because his body stopped working."

Jonathan was wearing a shirt he got from Auntie E for Christmas and he looked down at his chest and said, "zero-s-h-k-zero-s-h.  Oshkosh!"  That was interesting to me because when he was first learning numerals, he called zeroes "o."  When I menioned that in this case they were letters, so they were O's, he said, no, they had this shape, so they were zeros.  It was a font thing. (one more thing to note - he was reading the letters upsidedown because he was wearing the shirt.) (More)

Noah now prefers creeping on hands and knees  - you can see a video on his pictures page.  I also think he went from sitting to crawling once today, but I didn'tt actually see the process.

 

Other pictures are up, including a picture of Jonathan's maze he solved all by himself.

I'll begin by assuaging grandparental fears: no one is hurt!  And now I'll start from the beginning.  As mentioned elsewhere, it is extremely cold out today.  We forgot to open the cupboard under the kitchen sink and thus the pipes froze. (More)

Jonathan likes to eat turnips (just cut up and boiled) - he was exclaiming over them so much I thought it should go into the blog. (More)

One afternoon we were shredding carrots in the food processor for a salad.  Noah was getting upset, so Jonathan said to me, "You go ahead and give Noah milk; I'll finish the carrots." (More)

We finally went skiing for the first time this year and although it was pretty cold, we did have a lot of fun and stayed a lot longer than we did last year. (More)

I've been especially enjoying my boys the last week or so, having fun watching them learn so fast.  Specifically, Noah's crawling and Jonathan's recognition of numerals and letters. (More)
