Over the weekend a happy little synapse activated in David's brain, and he realized that he could crawl right out the living room, down the hall, and then make a right and wind up in the kitchen. And then he could make another right and wind up in the office/dining room, and then back into the living room. Carmen made that realization today, which made it a day for baby parades of sorts, Carmen following her brother.
Today Carmen also figured out how to clap, and later how to slap my butt.
The Christmas holidays mean visiting friends and family for most of us, and our house is no different. The neighborhood kids are home from school and looking for things to do. This afternoon they helped me run a snake through my clogged pipes (in 2004 we had a clogged line on Super Bowl Sunday--what gives?). Then they helped wrap presents while David wrinkled the paper and got in their way. Before dinner we took C&D on a ride in the stroller. Tyse pushed, Jairo made sure David didn't lose his wool hat, and Aaron and Daniela from down the street came along, too. I felt like a regular mother duck. After walking around the block and hearing an earful of the usual elementary-school gross-out stories, I was ready to feed the babies--only two--dinner.
This week Brooke came to visit from North Carolina. More on that later--now it's time for bed!
