Jack signs "milk" and starts to crawl or "inch"

Yesterday Jack signed milk for the first time at lunch. I managed to get him to do it again for the video. I was super excited!!



Jack has become an inchworm. He inches his way along the floor. It is adorable!

Catoctin Zoo and random stuff

I have been meaning to post about our trip last week to the Catoctin Zoo in Maryland and I totally forgot to go back to my post and edit it until just now. So here it is because these pictures are too cute to pass up. We met my parents and my nephew David at the Catoctin Zoo for the afternoon one day last week as everyone was waiting for Cristina to have baby Henry. (He is here by the way, and I am going up to meet and visit with them today, so pictures to follow) We had a great time. David is super easy going in his stroller so he just enjoyed strolling around outside and taking in the sights. He did get out feed some animals but then he was ready to get back in his stroller and move. Here is David with my dad and his grandpa David feeding a llama....so David and David!

That was one big llama
They had little apes and a couple of them had babies. Here is a mother and her baby.

We saw a little goose family...so cute!

A priceless face from David

Jack has been really busy lately getting in to everything. When he is in the walker he is a real menace. I walked around the kitchen island and saw this. Jack with the plastic wrap.

The I walked around the other way and saw this. He was so proud of himself.

First tooth for one and Bunkin free for the other!!

This is something I want to document for our files.

Isabella is bunkin (aka pacifier) free! We took them away at night 2 nights ago and it really hasn't been too bad. She didn't love the fact that she didn't have the bunkins on Saturday night but she cried and yelled for a little while and then eventually fell asleep. The following morning she told us all about how she was not very nice when she went to bed the night before. We told her the Bunkinman came and took her bunkins because he knew she was a big girl and didn't need them anymore and that have gave them to the babies that need them. She didn't like that story. She wanted him to be a mean Bunkinman who stole them from her. So I complied last night and told her the story of the mean Bunkinman who stole her bunkins and then of the nice bunkin fairy who took the bunkins from the mean Bunkinman and gave them to the babies. She liked that one better. A little drama last night but not as bad as the night before. I threw them in the trash yesterday morning, so no going back. :)

Also, Jack got his first tooth on Friday morning. It finally broke through. I am sure the other bottom one will follow soon. Jack is also standing with no help for 2-3 seconds at a time. He walks around his pack n play now, if we get him to standing. He is starting to do forward motion if on his belly, but I wouldn't call it crawling, more like pulling or scooting his body. Video to follow! :)

Some cute pictures of Isabella

Here are some cute pictures I took of Isabella the other day. She is really growing up so fast.
