Anything you can do...

... she can do better! Eric was pushing the animal-sound-wheel-button with his foot. The baby thought it was hilarious. See?

Well, guess what she can do all by herself...

 This kid. She's going to run the world one day.

Big Project

Our pastor came over to have dinner and help build a cornice for the living room window... now all we have to do is rehang the blinds, add trim, and paint it white.

The baby spent the evening carrying wood glue around and glaring at everyone (two GREAT activities for a 19-month-old).

The little guy was a wonderful helper while the menfolk (ha) drilled and sawed.

And here's the somewhat-finished product!

Please ignore the multi-patterned couch... stupid incontinent dog.

Make yourself at home...

The baby brought me a book to read to her this evening. All I can say is, with her sitting like this, I'm glad I have this book memorized!

It was pretty uncomfortable. Luckily, she lost interest after I read the book eighteen times.

Little Helper

The baby insisted on feeding Beau three times tonight. He loves her.

Poor Judgment

The baby is such a climber! She's been climbing the step-stool to work in the kitchen like her brother. She fell off it shortly after I took this picture, but she twisted herself around and didn't hit her head.

She wasn't so lucky when she dove off the bed headfirst this weekend. She has a massive goose-egg on her forehead. I was so relieved when she kicked her legs after she landed-- I thought she'd broken her neck!

Photo Bomb!

Here's the baby paging through a book before bedtime. The book she's reading is called Pig Kahuna. It's a pretty awesome book. She likes pigs (she loves oinking) and it's been a real hit. It had to go back to the library today, though.

Nice photobomb, little dude.

Early Birds

The little guy took this amazing video this morning. These are the sounds we wake up to most mornings... at 6:15am. I love that they're getting along so nicely, but it's soooooo early!
