Cauliflower Anyone?

Silas is loving solids.  Of course he prefers to feed himself.  Since he is still working on his pincer grasp, he prefers big chunks of anything.  And I am enjoying eating my food in peace while it is still hot.

And one of Sophie who can't seem to keep her hands off of her baby brother.

First day of school!

Caleb and Sophie both started at new schools this year.
Here is Caleb on his first day of grade 2.

It's been a bit of a tough transition to his new school but hopefully he'll settle in soon.  He says that his new school is easier.

Sophie started preschool and she is loving it.

Before school started she brought me the calendar and asked me to show her what day she was going to her dayhome.  She was used to going places and seeing other kids during the day and staying home with me was not quite enough for her.  Now that school has started, she is enjoying her days at home.  She was so excited about her first day it was hard to get her to stand still for the picture!

Introducing

2 knights and a  princess!

Or a pirate and a fairy.
Caleb and Sophie love dressing up and playing make believe.  Well, really I think it's the dressing up part that they really like.

Here's Caleb showing off his moves at my brother's wedding.  Yes, even getting to wear his suit is exciting for him!

Caleb calls his suit his "doctor costume".  I'm not sure why.  He started using the term when he was 2 or 3 and it stuck.

Here is Sophie waiting so patiently in her dress.

She thought she was getting married that day and was quite upset when I told her otherwise.  She would wear a princess dress every day if she could.  And she often does.  Luckily, she calls almost every dress a "princess" dress.

And here's sweet baby Silas.

I don't see him like this very often.  He seems to think that sleep is overrated.  It's hard to believe that in 6  short months he went from this

to this

Silas is pretty content for the most part.   He just figured out that he can roll to get places.  When I put him down on his back he immediately rolls over onto his front and starts trying to get up on his knees.  I think that he will be crawling sooner rather than later.  Now if only I can convince him that sleep is wonderful!
