Walk This Way!

I honestly don't know what's funnier - the drunken swagger, the giggle, or the hands on the hips.

Lord of the Rings

The Gate Escape

This boy is part monkey, no?

I'm Your Pusher, Man

My Little "Bother"

On our 105th attempt to capture Cooper walking, we got this video of him going for his sister's prized possession - the tutu. I think the audio says it all.

Monkey Boy

We are convinced that this kid could escape from Alcatraz if need be. He's smart, crafty & agile. His climbing skills are increasingly disturbing. Already this week he climbed to standing on a chair, his walker-wagon (shown here) and somehow Hoodini'd out of the strap on his highchair, almost making it to the top of the tray table! It's to the point where when we say "Cooper, no no!", he just mocks us by taking his pointer finger and waving it back and forth with a devilish grin across his face.

3rd of July

In our quest to see all the friends we can and experience all the fun things we love about SF before we head North, we met up with Oscar & family at the Golden Gate Park kid's playground today. Adeline comforted Cooper on the carousel.
These two are inseparable! Good thing Oscar's grandparents live in Portland. She's really going to miss him.
Happy as a clam on such a gorgeous Summer day.

What a Watermelon!

And this was his 3rd slice!

Preschool Progress

Apparently it's a BIG DEAL to have the spot during "circle time" next to their teacher, Miss Evelyn. Adeline has had 2 weeks in a row where she got the choice spot.

In this lesson, Adeline was asked to select the sphere shape beneath a blanket.
She got the "h" card right, but the position is upside down. Well, technically it's right-side-up from her angle. She's really into her alphabet letters lately. She's constantly pointing out "A's" in signs and billboards.
