Houses, Guitar Lessons And Teeth

Here is our new house! We don't move in until the end of September, but it's still pretty. Those two trees in the back? Ours! Daddy and Danae are going to name them.

We have been practicing guitar. So far we have learned what direction to strum in (up and down - not left and right) and not to touch the tuning keys. It's important to remember that Danae is a participant, not a spectator.

We have aquired at least two new teeth. We sure do miss the baby tylenol at bed time.

Our new favorite thing is watching home movies on the computer. The blog movies aren't good enough. We have to get it right off the folder so it's big enough. We have even been taking our own movies (maybe next week?). Daddy is very silly in these movies!

Another new thing is grabbing Mommy or Daddy's hand and making them go where we want them to. Mommy has a pretty good resistance, but Daddy is a sucker for it everytime. He'd probably walk out into traffic!


We went to the tot-lot at the mall! It was much better than last time. Nobody cried (even when we tried to take another boy's balloon!) and there was only a little poop.

And a special birthday shout-out to Uncle Aaron! Happy Birthday Skeletor! May the power of Grayskull stay with you always!

It's a double birthday shout-out! We miss you Aunt Danna, Happy Birthday. You're always in our thoughts.

We Close On A House And Uncle Joey Comes To Visit

Uncle Joey came to visit! He read us stories (actually, stories about how to give your cat CPR), blew bubbles with us, and bounced us on the air mattress - all in the first hour he was here!

We also bought a house this morning (pictures next week)! It has a fenced yard and two (2) trees! We also went out to eat with Grandma Sue and Grandpa Jerry and Cousin Kaine and Girl GG. Aunt Kay and Emma even showed up (accidentally). We played on the pool table until all the balls fell in the holes. Then we were a little upset.
We have no pictures of these events because - sigh- we forgot the camera.

We also got our own shades! We're cool!

We Develop A Fondness For Movies And Go Down To One Nap

You are about to witness the ultimate weapon in passive resistance. Turn up your volume and prepare for:

The Screach!

The Screach may be employed for any reason and at anytime. Even if there wasn't a problem yesterday, it may be today, so be forewarned.

We have also gone down to one nap a day. We are a little crankier, but have you ever seen someone literally fall asleep?
We love movies! Finding Nemo is cool, and Shrek is alright. Still a little young for Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory (Daddy's favorite).

We are also loving the books (or buuts, as we're calling them)! Cousin Kaine's Disney book is number one, and number two is a tie between Where The Wild Things Are and The Big Red Barn. Daddy is looking forward to reading stories to her that don't have pictures.

Also a special good luck shout out to Uncle Tony and Jen P, Kristin, Scott And Jen's Mom. They are going to Europe for varied lengths of time. Good Luck and Have Fun!

Swimming!

Mommy and Daddy have been very busy this week, so not alot of pictures. Some woman in England finished her series of novels about a boy wizard, and it almost killed Daddy. We did manage to go to the pool today though...

We have been repeating words at random. It's pretty funny. Mommy said "wicked" the other day, and Danae said it perfectly back! We are also getting a new tooth. Everything in the house is wet with drool!

She caught Daddy by surprise when he told her "no" when she was playing with the computer mouse. She looked at Daddy and said "Why no?". Just completely stumped Daddy.

We Go To The Waterpark, Climb On Many Things, And Continue To Express Ourselves Loudly

We finally got the climbing on video. Yay! Unfortunately, we have created a baby couch potato...
All she wants to do all day is sit and watch old "Barney Miller" episodes. She keeps yelling at me to bring her Cheetos and beer. Next week: climbing on the glider in her bedroom!


Aunty Jen and Kaine stopped by for dinner and swimming (not at the same time). We loved the mask, and we kissed everyone in the room!

We went to the waterpark on Sunday, and were very brave.

A little too brave.

Happy Birthdays, Anniversaries, And We Learn To Climb On The Couch

Happy Birthday Grandma Fely! She turned 34 this week!

Happy birthday Boy GG! And Happy Anniversary to both GGs!

This week has been busy! Daddy had to work alot, and missed most of the fun, but he was present for the couch climbing - which represents an exciting new phase of terror for Mommy and Daddy. Yay!

Auny Jen picked us up a shirt when she was on her honeymoon. It's Mexican! Can you tell?

This device can alter the space time continuum, but only you if blow into the little blue thing...

We also learned about kleenex; what it is, what it does, and exactly how many there are in a box.

This one's for Aunty Jen. Baby? Check. Shirt? Check. Goofy grin? Check.

We Learn To Hug and Fall Asleep In The Wagon

We have had a busy week! We learn to hug (Danae actually looked at Daddy , held out her arms and said "hug!". Daddy melted.) and fell asleep in the wagons at GG's house! We also tried new hairstyles and juices.

Everybody got a turn pulling Danae around in the wagon...

..and around, eventually...

New hairstyle number one: the Alfalfa.
