Eric playing

Here is a video of Eric playing with his toys. He is really great at balancing these days, which seems to mean he actually falls over more often because he stretches and reaches farther to get a toy. :)

Owen's flags

Owen is very into art projects. I showed him how to make a flag out of a small drawing and he made these two flags one night. I had to make this pic bigger than usual so you could see the flag drawings. The purple one is Mickey Mouse and the yellow one is a self-portrait.

Eric and Finley

Eric really likes to sit next the dogs and grab at their faces and heads. Finley tolerates this very well, probably from laziness more than affection at this age, but it works for a good picture. Toby usually moves right away. :)

Owen playing with photobooth

My mac has a program called Photobooth that uses the built-in webcam to let you take pictures and videos of yourself with various special effects, etc. Owen LOVES this thing and has taken hundreds of pictures of himself and several videos, mostly singing songs. Here is Owen with Uncle Bug using the mirror effect and Owen singing his ABCs, both from early this year.

Eric's first meal

Owen and Shea feeding Eric his first taste of food. This was a few weeks ago, so he is eating much better now.

first owen post

Owen attended a British soccer camp this month with one of his Soccer Tots friends. He had a great time, although he asked me several times, "Are we going to 'outside' soccer today?" as though normal soccer is always inside. :)
