We're still here!
Alot has happened since our last post and we've been too busy and too exhausted to blog. Things are slowing down a bit now, so we're hoping to get back in the swing of taking photos and posting them to keep you all updated on the twins' lives.
In the last two weeks August has learned to roar like a tiger, has mastered eating with a fork and spoon (albeit with flings of food in between some of the bites) and has figured out how to climb up and go down the slide at the playground. He can climb backwards down steps now, and that means he can climb out the back door if it's left open. Luckily in the process of climbing down, he discovered that the steps are the perfect-sized seats for him and he often pauses at the bottom to sit on the step like in this picture. Augie still shows his sister how much he loves her by clunking her on the head, but with a little prompting can pat her head nicely and say, "ooooo..."
Rose has learned to say "doggie" for dogs, "Daddy" for Daddy, Mommy or her baby doll and "uh oh" whenever I mention changing her diaper. One morning as Rob was getting ready for work she waved to him and said, "Daddy Bye-bye!" but we haven't heard that for a while. Although she doesn't seem to know the parts of her body, if I hand her a washcloth after a meal and say "Rosie, wash your face," she does a pretty good job of cleaning up herself and as much of the table as she can reach. Here she's modelling a dress which Grandma Gloria made for Mommy thirty-some years ago.
Here's August looking at books with his dad after a nap.
Since the last post Becky finished the summer quarter at the University of Washington and swam, biked and ran in the Danskin Triathlon. Rob worked extra hard keeping everything together while she retreated to the library or Starbucks to write papers or went out to exercise. Also since the last post, the two of us got gussied up and celebrated our fifth Wedding anniversary at Pasta Freska near Lake Union. Thanks to our friends Tom and Anna for babysitting while we went out for a fun dinner.
