What's Up?

Does your family's Sunday activities include "family nap time?"  Because ours does.  Except no one really naps.  Isaac spends all his time running up and down the stairs bringing down blankets and pillows and animals for everyone.  Then he'll lie down for 2 seconds and jump up to start giving out toys.  Who doesn't nap with a train set after all?

It's pretty great.



Isaac's imagination has been taking off lately.  He is into "cooking" with my pots and pans.  He made cupcakes, soup, and cookies.

Ben's just cute.  He still only rolls occasionally and only from stomach to back.  I think it's funny that most of the time he's on his stomach it ends in face plants into the blanket and tears even though he is fully capable of rolling.  Well, he also really likes grabbing things so he spends a good portion of tummy time pulling his blankets into his face.

This picture is awesome.  Isaac has total crazy eyes.  It's funny to me.
But these are his walrus teeth.  I didn't even know he knew a walrus well enough to imitate the teeth.

Ben's new favorite place is the exersaucer.  It's also Isaac's new favorite place so it's still not a safe zone to put the babe without some close supervision.
And really, Ben's favorite place is still in someones arms.

 

Isaac was really cute the other day though.  I put Ben in the exersaucer and showed Isaac how we could teach Ben how each toy worked.  I showed Isaac how to show Ben to spin that little spinner part you can see in the pictures.  I then praised Isaac for being kind and teaching his brother.  I told him that was an important job of a big brother.  So Isaac then ran and got Jacob's scriptures and sat on the floor to teach Ben "music."  He sang him a few songs while pointing at some of the words in the scriptures.  It was so cute.

Ben's cute little 1st Easter outfit.  It has bunny feet and a bunny tail on the bum.  Ben rocks that little bunny tail.

This picture is horrible quality but still captures some Isaac awesomeness.  The other thing he loves to do with all my pots and pans is make drums, violins, and cellos.  He is playing the cello in this picture and his drum set is on the floor around him.  And yes, he is pant-less on a Sunday afternoon.  That's just how we roll.  And, he's back in diapers.  The potty training went south after 2 really good weeks.  It got pretty ugly with me getting angry and Isaac crying.  It just wasn't a battle I wanted to continue to fight.  So, we are taking a break.

Ben found his toes.  It was hard to get a picture of him actually grabbing them because he lets go so quickly...

 

And that is what's up in our neck of the woods.
