A little of this and that

Jack and Annalee are just great kids, thanks for asking! In the past couple weeks, making Anna laugh has become a sort of sport for Jack and we often find him dancing in front of her or passing some sort of toy that he thinks she would be interested in to her. It is pretty cute. Jack has also taken on the chore of feeding the dogs right when he wakes up and then again when we get home from daycare. This morning, as I was walking down the stairs, a little voice from his room was actually saying, "Tippi, Hugo, hungry?" and he bounced out of bed as soon as I opened the door and headed to the kitchen! Such a good worker! Although he did think about putting a piece of dog food in his mouth this morning too...

Annalee is sitting up and can make it from one end of the living room to the other either rolling or scooting on her behind. In a moment of unsupervised time, she ended up under a chair, unable to get out. That did not make the little lady very happy! But it was only for a moment and she was all smiles again as soon as her freedom was restored. Ryan remarked yesterday that, where some people have babies who like to coo, Anna just likes to shriek. She and Jack have made a game of who can make the loudest noises at the dinner table. To the dismay of daycare, Ryan and I have not really stopped it from happening, rather join in from time to time. The uproarious laughing that comes out of Jack when we all join in is pretty well worth it, though! And anytime Jack laughs, you can be sure Anna is looking at him with a big smile on her face.
