Baby Laughter

So addictive . . .

Sorry, I took the video in the wrong orientation and my work computer does not have any video editing software, so just tilt your head and enjoy.

Hands on Ann Arbor

A couple of weekends ago, we went to the Hands on Ann Arbor Museum. Abigail and David had a lot of fun. It was really well designed museum.

They had a very large water exhibit.

There was even a separate area just for kids under 4. This area just had a lot of more traditional toys. Here she is in a firetruck. She would not put on the dress up clothes that were available.

The toddler area even had its own water area.

There was also an infant play zone.

Here is Abigail with a bubble around her.

David briefly attempted to explain circuits to Abigail, but she was not interested.

She found another bubble exhibit.

Sometimes David (like the other dads that were there) would get distracted and he and Abigail would end up at different exhibits. Most of the time she would move on before he was ready.

Jonathan got some good foot chewing done at the museum.

Dandelions

On Saturday, Abigail got a haircut. It was her second one. Her hair was getting hard to manage since she won't let us pull it back so it was getting in food and was quite ratty at the ends. She got to sit in a pink car and watch a show about Minnie while she got a haircut. For her, the best part was the lollipop that she got at the end. She actually did really well. Also, in case it as not become obvious, she is really into wearing dresses and also likes it when I wear dresses. Also, she likes to wear one pink shoe and one purple shoe.

Here she is helping to make a peach brown betty. She asked David to photograph her, so I decided to stick them on the blog. It can be challenging cooking with her because she wants to stick her hands in everything and lick everything, including measuring spoons that have had baking powder and cornstarch on them (yuck!). This recipe was nice at the end because after you bake the biscuits, you crumble them up which she enjoyed.

She also enjoys feeding Jonathan and he enjoys it also.

 Here they are unknowingly sharing a toy.

Well, maybe Jonathan realized they were sharing.

Jonathan showing off his first tooth. It is the front left bottom tooth. If you squint just right, you can see a little bit of white. The neighboring tooth is currently coming in.

And we now have a crawler! He can get around pretty quickly. So far the only things that get in his way are footed pajamas on carpet, Abigail, David, me, and the gate. Maybe he will get to have a crawling race with his cousin Nathaniel sometime. Abigail is not always a fan of his new mobility because it means he can get to her toys.

Playing with the gate. I think this entertained them for about 15 minutes.

I like how fascinated Jonathan is with the pinwheel and how Abigail is in her on world with the ice cream truck.
