A Girl and her Tractor

Low and behold Savannah has figured out how to pedal! I saw her on a tricycle at school one day but not moving so I wasn't sure but when I got home from the store with Tyler today she was outside with Marc pedaling her tractor around!

Crib Jumpers

This is what many mornings look like... https://youtu.be/u8dFJwSKrNQ

The Carousel Waltz

Tyler has the same love of music as Savannah. His new obsession is the music box carousel I had as a kid. He carries it around, shows his sister  (who is not as impressed ) and loves of course when I make it move and sing.

L'il Road Warrior

While he has liked cars for a while tyler has now figured out how to run them along the roads. Until he pulls the roads apart and looks at me upset like it just magically exploded! It works out well as they have a bunch of these cars and tracks and more coming for the holidays.

The Alligator

One of our neighbors has an alligator in their yard. He's nice and friendly and doesn't bite even when Tyler smacks hi.. Repeatedly in the head. Everyday we walk to school or the small Park we have to stop to pet and feed him. He eats rocks, twigs and the occasional leaf if it's nearby but never the acorn looking pieces Savannah picks up.

Scrub a Dub Fun

In an effort to streamline our bedtime routine I’ve started bathing the kidlets in my tub together. It works great! They have plenty of room to play and of course it takes half the time since it’s just one bathtime instead of two.

Tyler ends up coming out first as he is still standing up – I give him a couple warnings but then out he comes. And for the rest of Savannah’s bathtime he runs out of the bathroom into the loft while we say “Bye Tyler!” then comes back for us to say “Hi Tyler!” to which he cracks up every time. He brings Savannah and I all sorts of presents from the loft too.. Toys, books, papers to shred.. Pretty much anything he finds out there.


Savannah has been making all sorts of “food” so we can have a picnic. She loves doing things pretend now - everything from pretend picnics to pretend getting hurt (??) and pretend swimming. Tonight she gave me soup, chicken nuggets and jello from her bath tub kitchen  lol 

In case I didn't share this earlier, here's an earlier video of Tyler watching the tub fill:  https://youtu.be/6tdsw3SMbbw

And some pictures of our new bathtime:
