Luke and Violet have just recently decided that they like books. We are getting hunted and then poked with books on a regular basis. It’s funny to see the switch when their wee brains decide that books are interesting and fun. Down by the Station and Baby Einstein: Jane's Animal Expedition are a couple of favorites (at the moment). There is still some competition to hold the book when we read with both of them at the same time. It’s quite exciting to referee the battle for the book while attempting to teach them how to turn pages in the correct direction and pointing out the different objects to notice on each page (they love to mimic us doing that: point point point).
Luke loves to wield the extension for the vacuum cleaner as a weapon (example below). There have been a few close calls with the TV and Violet’s noggin, so it’s still a supervised-only “toy”.
Livvie’s had a great time lately. Between playing at Karsten’s house at the Super Bowl and a day with Lana at babbo’s office (not this babbo, the other babbo, Mr. Matt), she’s been playing a lot. She went to a birthday party for Marissa (friend from school) at Pump It Up last Sunday. It was all she could talk about for days. She’d hold up the invitation and talk about how much fun she was going to have. Apparently, it didn’t disappoint.
This is a shot of a calm moment in the movie room during the Super Bowl.
