Baby Days

Oh the fun we have when friends come over! We get to watch Anna a few times a week and always have so much fun. I love that the babies entertain eachother and I can just watch all the silly things they end up doing. They seem to teach eachother both of their own little quirks and they also get a little more adventurous when they are together. They also like to tease eachother with toys and food. I think one of the cutest things is when they feed eachother, I also end up being fed by one or both of them (which definietly is not cute but fun none the less).

They really like coloring. Now that they realized where I keep the crayons they try and pull out the box. They have very different coloring methods. Zachie likes to concentrate on his coloring and attack any pre existing picture. Anna like to pick up a crayon and then toss it behind her like it means nothing to her. When she does find the one she wants, she makes tiny squiggles on the paper.

Of course, books are the main event every day. I love watching them read. Anna likes to read out loud and Zachie likes to be silent. Zachie is our little bookworm. We read almost all of his books three or four times a day. He is pickie sometimes too. He will go through his bookshelf pulling out books and putting them back until he finds the one he was looking for, which is most likely his ABC book or his nursery rhyme book.

We also like to have lots of fun in our sensory pool, otherwise known as a kiddie pool. We do put water in it sometimes but other things are way more exciting. So far we have favored blocks and dried pasta. My next will be cooked rice and one fun day shaving cream but that is more mess than I am ready for right now.

We also purchased an Elmo couch.  Yes, Elmo is our love right now.  They are so cute sitting on their mini size couch.  It also is a great bed and Zachie sleeps wonderfully on it.
