Tidbits

This time of year always seems to slip by so quickly. There's a chill in the air, and it's definitely starting to feel like the holidays.

Here are some photos snapped over the past month on my phone. We have been too busy to break out the good camera! Enjoy...

Now that Henry's schedule is more flexible, he is loving going on adventures! Discovery Place, ImaginOn and the Nature Museum are just a few of his favorite places. I can't pull him away from the water table at DP. And the apron does nothing for this one. Henry is soaked head to toe by the time we have to leave.

Cohen got a "Big Boy Bike" last month - it was an early birthday present! All the children on our street meet outside in the evening to ride bikes. Cohen has gotten really good at riding his Strider (a no-pedal bike). He can balance and coast like a big boy! We will be upgrading him to an even bigger boy bike in no time (with no training wheels). Here's a picture of him passed out with his helmet on and snack. He wore himself out.

Cohen loves Curious George! His teachers at school have let him take home the class' Curious George every week. He also has his own now. I found him snuggling with both one morning.

Henry on the truck at ImaginOn - He squeals with excitement everywhere we go.


There are so many tidbits that I could write about. These boys crack me up all day long!

• Henry walks everywhere! He loves chasing us around the house. Every night, David leads a marching parade around the house - the boys love following him. Cohen rotates playing his harmonica and drums, and Henry claps and squeals chasing behind.



• I love having conversations with Cohen. You never know what is going to come out of his mouth. I asked him the other night what he wanted to do in the morning. He responded, "Go to CVS." He loves the truck selection there.



• Every night before heading to bed, Cohen gives us his "big eyes" and says, "I wanna go Cwrazy!" It is hilarious watching him dance all over the place.



• I know it probably feels like they're on a rollercoaster at times while riding in the car with me. Cohen screams, "Weeee!" while holding his arms in the air as we go down hills. Henry gets the biggest kick out of it too, squealing and clapping his hands.



• Henry points to his nose and head when we ask him where they are. I've worked on this for a while, but he wouldn't do it for me - it took Big Brother Cohen to help Henry out with this one. He also has a ball doing peek-a-boo, playing patty cake and singing "If You're Happy and You Know It." Henry is pure joy, always wearing a huge grin.
