Learning to Stand

Man, she is working hard.

Death Metal Teapot

Dear Auntie D. I have no idea how you taught Noah to do this, but congratulations, you have a new understudy.



Dear everyone else. Please don't ask, I have no idea. Also, in case you are interested in booking him you should know he is not allowed to play goth clubs until he is 25.

Watch out folks, they're on the move

Serious Noah is Serious. Also what's up with the gloves?

Silly kids.

Family Band II

They've moved on from the drums to the horns.

Still awesome.

They've moved on from the

Who is that baby?

Eva thinks the baby in the mirror is AWESOME.



She is totally right.

Tomatoes

We got a box of bulk tomatoes to freeze for the rest of the year. Of course, we got these about the day before Eva started crawling all over the place.

Hmmmm... what's this?

Heh.

Heh. heh.

heee

(And then she tried to eat it. The end)

Oh, the hair

Now that Eva is wearing pigtails most days, she has some super awesome hair before bathtime.

Aaah! Super flying crazy-haired baby!!

Baby, in purple

Hi! We're outside!

Aaand..

I'm off.

Look! I found mommy!

Up...

and over.

Eva plays piano

For your listening pleasure

I like how she doesn't limit herself to the center of the keyboard.

Standy McStanderson

And just like that, she's an expert at pulling up.

Also, I can't wait until Noah is a teenager and I am armed with all these videos of him playing in his underpants and a fire hat.

She's on the move

Eva has discovered her ability to crawl longer distances, making my job more difficult. For example, here is a video where she crawls across the room in order to find a nearly invisible piece of grass to put in her mouth.



We're so in trouble.

Bouncing on the pink chair

These little people just crack me up.

(also, did you see Eva stand up at around 0:35?)

Baskbetball

We enjoyed the nice weather this weekend by making good use of our backyard. Noah is working on his basketball skills.

Pivot

and shoot!

Or, if you prefer to watch in live action...

(My favorite part is how he measures his distance from the basket)

Eva is ready to join in as soon as she figures out how to stand up.

Put me in, coach!

Baby playdate

Eva and Sasha had a nice time together the other day while their older brothers were playing.

Hello there...

I liiiike you.

Hey, what are the boys up to?

God, these girls are huge! Remember how tiny they were when they first met?

(Eva is the one in the pink, Sasha is to her right)

Family Resemblence

So people keep commenting on how much Eva looks like Noah. I generally agree, until I look at baby pictures of Noah. See for yourself...

Hi! I'm Eva! Crawling is Awesome!!

Hi! I'm Noah! Crawling is awesome!!!

I think that when you look at Noah today, you can totally imagine a baby that looks just like Eva growing into a preschooler that looks like Noah.

However, when you look at an actual baby picture of Noah,

Hi! I'm Noah! Food is awesome!!

And compare it to Eva at almost exactly the same age,

Hi! I'm Eva! Food is AWESOME!!!!

I think you may agree that they both just look like themselves. Clearly related, but obviously themselves.
