Benjamin building a train track:
Noah, playing in his exersaucer and talking up a storm:
Benjamin, writing numbers (we've already moved on from just
creating numbers out of objects in our house...):
Aren't they adorable? And smart?? ;)
Tim was helping his brother & sister-in-law move today, and since I didn't think Benjamin and Noah would be much help (well, Benjamin might have carried a pillow or two), we met a friend of mine from Newark for lunch at
Nicola's Kitchen! I've known Karen since probably Jr. High, and it was so much fun to get together and catch up after too many years! Noah and Benjamin both loved her of course...probably because she gave Benjamin two pennies and let Noah drool on her. :)
Then we ate and ate and ate some more, and took our annual Easter photo:
(I couldn't decide which I like better)
And photos with Grandma and Grandpa:
And played with the plastic eggs.
And mama got her hair cut!
After, with one of his four eggs (which he traded in for a fun little treat box with some candy, stickers, and some coupons for the nearby businesses):
Congratulations to our friends Bill & Danielle on the birth of their first child early yesterday morning! Liam is precious and we can't wait to meet him!
"It's gettin' me all wet!" (Benjamin talking about the fountain...)
Yes, I'm tickling them both so I could get good smiles!
Swinging!
Today we had such a nice afternoon that I moved the basketball hoop and exersaucer out to the patio.
IN the basket!
Noah watching his big brother shoot baskets:
Materials: an egg carton cut up, 12 cotton balls, 24 adhesive googly eyes (from Target), 12 triangle foam stickers (from Michael's), and some white glue.
What we did:
Or train tracks and blocks (note the 3 from his number puzzle, there for inspiration):
Or train tracks and trucks:
Or just train tracks (to be fair, I helped a little with these):
Don't you just want to hug him??
And Noah is working on being a cutie pie as well:
Sitting up!
