The boys are constantly learning new things. Today James figured out how to turn his shopping cart around (so he's not stuck at the end of the hallway!), which was great. But Mattie seems to have learned how to pull hair, which is not so great. (And at least this afternoon when he was overtired, he thought it was hilarious when Mommy got mad and told him no. Uh-oh!)We have moved on from "T" foods to "P" foods -- we gave the boys
chunks of canned pear today, and some mashed up potatoes with gravy from our dinner. They seemed to like the potatoes, but weren't so enthusiastic about the pears. (I was a bit surprised, because they seem to love the baby food pears.) The pear chunks are kind of slippery, so they had a hard time picking them up, and I think Mattie didn't like the texture so much. But that's okay, we'll just try again and let them get used to it. (Much as they might want to, they can't live on Cheerios alone!)We are in the process of interviewing new babysitters to replace the wonderful Nicole, who (as we have probably mentioned) is leaving us in the fall to start her nursing career. She has set a high bar! It's a bit nerve-wracking trying to find someone new. We have a couple good candidates, though, and one of them is coming in for a "trial run" tomorrow. Wish us luck!

I love that first photo where it's like they're collaborating on research on Yellow Duckies. They both have the Duck picture out, with Mattie pointing to his.
As for the 'hey, look, we made Mom mad - how funny' - I completely sympathize. Charlotte used to do that when she was younger and talk about being exactly the reaction you aren't looking for. One of my pet peeves.
I think it *is* actually possible to live on Cheerios alone. I seem to remember from the educational TV commericals of my youth, that Cheerios are full of essential vitamins and minerals.
I'm just saying.
