New videos

I added a few new videos over in the
YouTube bar. These are from the past few weeks. “Thank you
mema” is Lex and our daycare girl playing with the Easter
basket we got from Mema and G’Tom. It was a huge hit :) “Jump
baby jump” is Eve on the trampoline. She crawled over, climbed
up, and started jumping all by herself. She was so proud, and
funny. “Falling baby” is a short movie at Eve at our local
science museum. She was standing on a stool and banging on an
air cannon and LOVING it! I let go of her for a second to make
a little movie, she spun around to grab me (as she tends to do)
and the rest you can see for yourself. “Running in puddles” is
Lex and our daycare girl. They are cute in their little pink
and blue outfits. “Self feeding” is pretty obvious. It was last
week sometime and Eve’s first attempt at feeding herself. She
seems to be a natural :) And finally, “Baby fight” is the two
of them (with help from daddy) wrestling. Alan calls it KungFu
Baby and has been doing it since Eve was born. Actually, when
Lex was a baby he was the KungFu Baby and attacked me! Just
before this video Lex ran up to Alan and said “wanna have a
baby fight!” :) So they did. Silly family. Last, but not least,
is a video of Eve not attempting to walk. She was doing good
walking between Alan and I one day, so I turned on the camera.
She apparently did not want to perform on demand :) It’s a
funny video anyway. Enjoy!

Baby Signs

Baby Signs are fantastic! Eve is on a bit
of a language burst and she’s been learning a lot of them
lately. She knows some animals (fish, dog, and bunny – thanks
to the Easter basket), but more importantly she knows nap,
plug, eat, more, and all done. This morning she was fussing and
I was about to put her in the high chair for breakfast (she’d
already nursed) but she started doing the nap sign over and
over. I got her a plug and put her to bed and she fell right
asleep! Had she not known signs we would have had a fussy
breakfast that she didn’t really want. The other day I was
going to take them both grocery shopping, but it was getting
late and into her nap time and she started doing the signs for
plug and nap over and over. Gotta love it!
