Basketball Player Among Us

So he got this toy for Christmas. He regularly enjoys playing with it. I hope that you enjoy watching how amazing he is.




Oh ya and he's walking to. Did I fail to mention that?

11 Months Old and Playing with Big Sister

He is 11 months old and playing with his big sister. He is growing up so fast and it is scary to think that a year is only a few weeks away. He is standing tall and so close to walking. He takes a few steps here and there, walking is just around the corner. He is a happy baby who really just thinks he is big and doesn't understand why he can't do everything he sees his sister do.

He also got his first haircut. Isn't he handsome! This is what they gave us. I changed some of the info though where the names are so the real one does have the actual info. The black square is where they tape his hair. We got about an inch of hair off.
Here he is having fun driving and pushing buttons. While his cool big sister is having fun pushing him around. Seems like a metaphor doesn't it? :)

Quick video of their play.

Zoo Passes

So this year as a family Christmas/Birthday present we got a zoo pass. We figured it would give us a year of family time that is something we only had to worry about price only once. We also got an Aquarium pass for the same reason. Here is our first trip this year to the Zoo.

This little toy camera cost a couple bucks and it kept her busy for a while. In fact at one point she insisted that she needed it to take a picture of the Apes. It was fun to watch her so excited to see everything and pretend to take pictures.

Isn't she cute with her blue hat and red sweater.

On the Merry Go Round. At first she was a little timid but here she is starting to relax and have fun.

Daddy and Baby Boy
If she looks sad it is because she just lost her ice cream cone.
Wow look one with me in it. Not overly flattering but we thought it would be a fun picture.
How Do You Measure Up.
Below are just some random pictures. Here is a large nest in a tree. A little curious what kind of bird made this nest. Any guesses?
The Baby Elephant with it's mommy.
I forget what kind of primate this is. But they are tiny little monkey type creatures.
The next 2 are for fun. We let our 3 year old little girl use the camera for a moment and get some pictures with her perspective.

Fun pics of the kids last month!

We didn't have too many exciting things happen in the last month. But here are a few highlights.

Here she is trying to help him stand

The Party Hat she desperately wanted to make. Daddy had a box that had a picture of a party hat and she got it in her head that she "needed" to make a party hat. Luckily mommy had a few supplies on hand and this is what we came up with. We made a couple extras and she took them next door for a little tea party with her friends. I had fun playing with this picture with an online editing website called Picnik. It was fun. I just wish that I could use a few of the extra features, but sadly that would cost money.

Oooh happy boy. He has decided that he is big enough to feed himself. Here he is eating some blended chicken noodle soup that we had for dinner. I will post a video below for those interested. Lets just say he had a lot of fun. Ah, these are the moments.
Messy face!
She decided one night that she needed to lay in daddies lap and arranged the pillows just so and grabbed a blanket then pretended to fall asleep. We thought she was cute.
Here's video of him feeding himself for the first time. He is so proud of himself. I love how he just dips the spoon in to get food.
