Quick check-in

As the infrequency of my posts would suggest, things are crazy busy! Brian's wedding is this Sunday. But, a couple of recent developments -

Kes crawls! A few days before her 10 month birthday she finally started moving forward. It took her a few days after that to figure out that she could not only go get a toy with her newfound skill, she could also follow Mommy into new rooms.

Elly is undergoing a vocabulary explosion, it seems. "Oh, sure" has become "Oh, certainly!"

To Remember

I always want to remember...

Elly asleep with her arms flopped to either side and the blankie covering her face, left there from having fallen asleep holding it to her nose.

Kessa extending her arms and with palms flat, fingers extended, when she wants something ("Use the Force, Kes!") accompanied by her vocal exhalation.

Elly's arm around my neck when I go in for her one-minute cuddles.

Kes's fingers playing with my hair while she flops on my shoulder, sucking her thumb.
