Soccer Ball Player!

We had our first soccer practise last week. Adrian was enthusastic until we got there and then wanted to go straight home. He did listen to the coach but didn't really do much playing. He was more concerned that he didn't get a yellow jersey to wear and would not listen when I told him only half of the kids get them for the game.

War wounds

Adrian is always so banged up these days with all of the playing outside and the extreme swelling reaction to bug bites. These particular injuries were incurred at a birthday party when he was running full speed ahead without looking ahead and banged into a pool table. Ouch. Jamie and I were calling him 'Rudolph' until we realized that it was really really bothering him. "I don't want to be a reindeer" he said in a very upset voice.

Vivan: Week 21 - Rolling

Vivian finally got her first roll under her belt this week. She made it from her back to her belly and I haven't seen her that happy in a long time. The dilemma is she has yet to figure out how to make it from her belly to her back so she gets stuck and very frustrated. She is growing less patience in her old age. Adrian and I were cheering for her from the couch when it happened.

Vivian is actually sitting on my lap as I write this. She wants to say 'ga ga ma mooooh gah' to all of our friends out there. She has been chatting a lot lately and it is adorable.

Wednesday is our 2nd appointment for vaccinations. I hope she handles these better than the last ones. I have such a hard time holding her while they jab needles into her pudgy little thigh. Wish us luck!

Best dressed babies.

Right after her first roll... so proud

Vivian: Week 20 - Exercise time

We dug out the exersaucer this week and Vivian is really getting into it. (Boy oh boy you should see our living room with that thing taking up the last 3 square feet of free space left.) She can stay in it for about 15 minutes and then she gets tired. She seems to like the mirror the best and with chitter chatter at it. She also loves it when her big brother gets down and demonstrates how all the toys work, and he sure loves to be the one demonstrating.

Vivian can sit on her own using her hands to help balance. I take them both to a music play group on Thursdays and I noticed that Vivian is really getting into it more and more. When we first started going she would sleep in her car seat the whole time and now she sits between my legs and smiles. It's really quite amazing how things change in the matter of months.

So many toys, so little time.

I found my feet and I have a drool rash.

Adrian put on a back pack, grabbed his Didi and got in this box and announced he was 'going far far away to Africa to see the zebras but NOT the lions'. Yes, his imagination is in full swing these days and he has made me bust out in laughter daily with some of the funny things that come out of his mouth. I will try to record some of these to share the laughs. One that comes to mind is that he refers to my breast pump as the 'milk taker'.
