Kidproof? Pshaw.

Gus knows that I have games on my phone. All of which he loves to play, but only if I unlock my phone, and set everything up for him. Or so I thought. I recently observed him trot over to my bag, grab my phone, press a few buttons, and within 3 seconds, he was playing Angry Birds.

My only reaction was to laugh - and then make him do it all again so I could video it. So much for locking my phone. I'll just apologize to you all now, in advance, for when you get a prank phone call from my phone. It was Gus.



Note: I like how he tells me not to touch this again. Now where would he have heard this? Hm, it's embarrassing when your children starts feeding your own lines back to you.

Pretty good hiding spot

Nora thinks she is totally hiding from us when she crawls under her exersaucer.

Busted!

This is what we do

Everyday when we get home from school/daycare, we burn off some calories in our living-dining room. Yeah, we need furniture. We also need to do alot more work on our new home before we begin buying furniture. I hate to say it, but the longer we go without anything on the main level, the more we love our makeshift play area.

Now that Nora can almost crawl, she's the one escaping from pictures.

This is who we are. This is what we do.

The Big Top

Gus and Ross went to the circus, where Gus enjoyed seeing cute animals, watching daring acrobats, and eating plenty of sugar. Thanks to Uncle Josh and Aunt Christy for the tickets.

OK, that's enough growing for now. Thanks.

Whoa, Nora and her cousin, Will, are growing up in a major hurry. I mean, already sharing size Medium Lil' Swimmers? It seems to soon for all of this. But I'd better get used to it. Will's 1st birthday is only a month away!

Prepping for an afternoon swim at the Y.

Then, all ready for bed. Here's Will busting Nora standing on her tip toes in an effort to look taller than her cousin.



They are buddies, and it's so sweet.

Eventually Monday comes, and the Grandparents go home

But when it's the weekend, and we have grandparents in town, Gus and Nora soak up every second of it! He'll be confused this Saturday when he wakes up, stumbles downstairs, and finds the guest bedroom empty. Good thing we are planning a trip to Minot in a few weeks.

7 months

Ah, to be 7 months old again. Nora's loving it, and living it up. She's drooling, army-crawling, sitting up with near perfect balance, chewing on everything in sight, eating her fruits and veggies 3x a day, and laughing at her brother. The most stressful part of her day is when she must decide which pacifyer to use at bedtime.

She is a sweet girl!

In other news, I'm teaching Gus how to use my Canon. His first portrait of Nora turned out pretty good.
