The Count!!!

Tom has been doing this for a month now. He started off getting to 5, but within the last few weeks he has picked up 6 thru 13. I don't know why he stops at 13, but I still find it pretty amazing that he can get that high.

You may be asking,"why is he in an empty bathtub, counting to 13?" Well, we actually use the counting thing (or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, or the ABC's) to distract him when we want him to do something that he doesn't want to do. Last night, he did not want to get out of the bath. We counted one more time, while I lifted him out and dried him. Our son is easily distracted.

Two Videos -- Nothing to Relate Them

This first video is my attempt to get Sarah to smile (she smiles A LOT by the way) on camera. As you will see, the end result was not what I was going for at all. (Please enjoy my "daddy" voice)

This next movie was taken this past Saturday at the Moore's farm. It shows some of the highlights from the day. (If I had my camera all day, the video would be over 20 minutes long, Tom had a lot of fun) The last 2 minutes or so was Thomas eating his first ever marshmallow. As you will see, at first he is not too sure. Then he gets his first little taste and does not turn back. At the end of the movie, we ask Tom where the marshmallows went, instead of telling us, he likes to show us where his food goes.

Sarah Jane at 2 Months

Sarah had her 2 month check-up yesterday and is doing very well. She is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. I knew she was pretty long, but didn't think she weighed a whole lot. I guess when I compare her to Thomas, she just feels so much lighter. Anyway, it was a good news day for sure.
