Headstands and Car Rides

Hi All,
Here is my belated August video. Yup, I'm still not good at downloading these timely! Here, you will see Drew and Bree displaying their latest gymnastic move - headstands. And later, Drew is offering Bree a car ride. It gave both me and Bree a jolt, which is why the video ends abruptly. Note, the push handle on the car has since been removed!

Little Miss AND Mister on the Mike

Hi All,
I posted a video of Bree singing on her microphone a while back. Well, I recently found this video from earlier this month, which is similar, but too cute to not share! Jim shot this video on a day I was out of town, as evidenced by the outfits the kiddos are wearing (CMU and Tigers). Bree is jammin' on the mike when Drew steps in and shoves his fist in her mouth. Well, then it appears she is either trying to kiss him or bite him. Any guesses as to which? Then Drew is free to "sing" or rather "blow" into the microphone as he sees fit. It makes me laugh every time I watch it!



PS - I am trying a new video setting, so please let me know if you have any problems accessing the video.

Shenanigans

Hi All,
The twinners are up to all sorts of interesting things. They spend a lot of time babbling. Bree has started to say Mom and Mama, and could not seem to stop saying it today. First words for her - yay! I think I may have heard an occasional da-da somewhere in there, too. (Lots of ahh sounds - ma, da, ba, ka)
They are also covering lots of territory around the house. They now crawl outside the living room area to all rooms on the main floor.
Besides that, they enjoy horsing around together. Here they are in Bree's crib......

And here is some footage on how they interact. There is a small battle for Mortimer Moose, but in the end, Drew decides chewing on Bree is way more fun than that moose could ever be!



And speaking of chewing, Drew and Bree are chewing up a storm these days. I think teething is here to stay for a while.

In high chair news, we just started the kiddos on graham crackers. Drew LOVES feeding himself them! Here's a shot of him eating a cracker. As you can see, it's not the cleanest encounter. He had a piece stuck to his cheek for a while, and I just had to take a picture before I let him in on the secret.....

And Bree, she actually fell asleep in her high chair for the first time. She's usually a little more engaged than this when she eats!

Stay tuned for future shenanigans!
