Ten on the 11's

Hi De Ho! Happy September!

We collaborated on our 10-month comerative post - and had it all ready to go, but Mom has been so busy that she missed our 9-11 publishing deadline.

Poor Mom...her company is changing the name of their four subsidiary organizations to align them with the parent company, so she's been putting in lots of overtime at work lately. Everyone at the office has been asking about us, so Mom stayed up late one night to make us custom shirts and brought us into work for the breakfast celebration.



Hooray for Mom's Company!

Now that we're a little older and able to sit up on our own, we've been getting out more and more. Last week, baby storytime started up at the library again, so we go over there once or twice a week. It's a total BABYFEST! They set up blankets for us to roll around on, board books for us to read (although we prefer to lick them), stuffed animals for us to pull, and musical instruments for us to shake. We read stories, watch all the people and sing songs.

Last week, our Thursday nanny took us on our first trip to the zoo:

G - My favorites were the large animals, like the polar bears and the elephants.

F - Reptiles are cool, really, really cool...especially fish and snakes. I hope Mom and Dad let me have my very own snake in my room when I grow up! I'll feed it crickets, and white mice and my sister!

Since Mom and Dad joined the zoo, so we hope they take us back soon.

Cheerio, it's G!

Speaking of Cheerios, they're ok, but my most favorite food this month is fresh peaches. As soon as someone puts them on my tray, I double-fist as many as I can and shove them into my mouth. I've gotten much better at my pincher-grip, so less and less end up in my lap. I'm going to miss peaches when they are no longer in season. No wories though, I'll find a new favorite food.

Eating is Fun!

I now regularly roll from my back to tummy and sit up like I've been doing it all my life...no problem! I still do my signature move...start by doing a split, rotate my torso and pull my knee through.



I'll even often get up on my hands-and-knees and rock back-and-forth.

To keep myself fit-and-limber, I do my stretches in my sleep.

  

Me as Heat-Miser!

Hello, it's F!

August flew and I'm ready to see my first fall foliage! It's hard to believe I haven't seen an aspen tree turn from green to gold yet!

I sure do love my carbs! Mom's been making me toast with jam or butter in the mornings. She'll cut it into strips and I'll see how many I can get into my mouth. In the picture below, I've got ground turkey in spaghetti sauce and green beans. Yum!





Mommy told me that if I want to kiss girls someday, I have to brush my teeth

Now that I've FULLY mastered moving around on all-fours, I am ready to move onto standing. When Mom and Dad aren't looking, I pull out my yoga DVD's and can now do a pretty impressive downward dog pose. If someone (including my dog) sits on the floor with me, I'll get as close to them, get on one or both of my knees and try to pull up on them. I'll also try to grab the bars of my play corral, but I can't quite figure out how to go from my knees to my feet. Soon - very, very soon though.

Osh Kosh B'gosh!

 

Which slept first, me or Dad?


Hope you have a happy September too!

G & F
