Should I Be Worried?

Today, Gavin asked if he could put Finn in the trunk of his car...??

Some recent pics:

Gavin at his Thurs/Fri pre-school.

Lucia, making one of her many funny faces.
Skinny Finn-y, who has officially been crawling now for almost a week! He's getting very adept at switching from lying to sitting to standing.

More Milestones

Lucia got her first two teeth (finally!)

... and Finn has learned to pull himself up to standing! He's also doing lots of 'downward dog' yoga poses so we think its just a matter of time until he is crawling. Eek...time to start babyproofing.

Sock Thief

Not content to steal (and chew on) his own socks, Finn has also taken to stealing his sister's socks.

Step 1: Identify and locate target.


Step 2: Pull hard.
Step 3: Pose for photo with spoils of war.

Step 4: Open mouth and chew on tasty sock.

The Victim mourns her lost sock(s)...

New Camera!

A few pics now that we have the new camera up and running...
Gavin takes Finn for a ride in his new car. He even buckled Finn into the car seat!

Look what we got in the mail from LL Bean!

Lucia & Finn have started a book club...

Gavin went sledding for the first time and LOVED it!
Finn, showing off his four teeth. We think Lucia may *finally* be getting some, too!

Milestones

The camera screen broke during Xmas so no pics. In the meantime, a few milestones:

Lucia has learned how to put Cheerios in her mouth. And she can clap!

Finn can hold his bottle all by himself (tho he doens't always choose to do so). He can also stand up and hold onto the ottoman all by himself! And to add to the fun, Gavin has taught him how to make Indian noises.

Gavin continues to ask to go on an airplane back to Chicago, but is enjoying the perks of suburbia, like sledding!

Heard at the Hayes Household...

Irate toddler: "Give me my booger back! I need my booger back!!"

Parent: "Why? What are you going to do with it"

Irate toddler: "I need to eat it!"

Thanksgiving with Cousins

As usual, I should have taken more photos!

Here are the twins with their cousin Lexie (the photo makes her look smaller than she actually is)

Gavin, riding the horse at Lozano's car wash. He spent all week asking if we could wash the car again so he got taken twice.

Uncle Jonathan & Aunt Kami with baby Lexie. Notice the wet marks on Uncle Jonathan's shirt -- welcome to parenthood ;-)

Aunt Renee and Uncle Danny with Naomi. Gavin had a blast playing with her!Tai-poh, holding Lexie.
