Spring is here!

We have been enjoying spending some time outside in the sun. Here we are at GG's house:




Fox is working on standing, which we hope will result in walking. Hopefully, any day now he will take some steps--I have to teach him to dance by June 14, when Jacque and Jon get married! Look how much fun he is having standing up:

Fox sleeps with his little butt in the air sometimes, which is super cute. I think every kids does this at some point, and it is the most adorable position. Now I have it captured for everyone to see:

Fox had a playdate with cousin AJ. Here they are doing a favorite passtime of most tiny kids: looking out the window:




Not much else is new. We have been sick, but Fox and I are mostly healed. Joe is still sniffly, though. Fox turned 15 months old. What a big boy!! We are planning a trip to Salem, MA in June, so if anyone has advice about flying with a baby, we would love to hear it. And countdown to summer break is on! 6 weeks for me, 3 weeks for the boys. How exciting! I am sure we will post more often once we are on break.

Cousin Mania!

Today, Fox and I visited with a bunch of cousins at Ompah's house. Here is Fox with cousin Faith. They look like they could be siblings, though they are actually not blood related.
And here is Fox with Andy, who is holding Lily. Lily just turned one, but she can already walk. Fox is still working on that skill!

Here is Fox with newborn cousin Kat (that is her middle name, but that is what Ompah calls her!).

This is my favorite picture of the day: Fox with Carl. They love each other so much!

And here is Fox with Ompah. As you can see, he is getting sleepy!

Fox was pretending to be a lion. Or at least that is my best guess of what was going on here!

Fox reads the East Side Review. His method is chaotic.

We went to the zoo this week. Look how big Fox is now! I remember when he was a tiny little baby in that gorilla's arms. Now he's huge!

Unicorn Power!

When bathing, Fox enjoys having his hair turned into a unicorn horn. If that is not possible, he will settle for a mohawk.



We think he is going to be smart. Maybe he will start some multi-billion dollar software company.

Lots of fun with Grama Fischer!


Fox and I had fun advantures. We met Becky and Kelly at MOA. We went to check the prices at Underwater world so that we could plan a family trip there sometime, and I learned that teachers get free memberships! And since kids under 2 are free, we took a spontaneous voyage into the deep sea. It was wild!!

I didn't take any pics inside (I wasn't sure if it was allowed), but here is Fox with a pretend turtle near the giftshop. Look how excited he is!

It was a fun trip. I am sure we will go back often, since it is free. MOA also has toddler Tuesdays, where there are functions and activities for free that would interest small kids. We will probably check some of those out too. Good times!
