Boys being boys

Wow, that month got away from us pretty fast here on the blog. But now I'm at 30,000 feet, and have some free time. (This is also my last science trip for the next few months!) Katie will be be posting about some new very tiny animals that live in our house, so I'll leave that to her...

Graham is growing up fast and likes to do what his brother does. He wants the toys Finn is playing with and sometimes the books Finn is looking at. ...and the cereal he is eating.... He has been nabbing various books around the house as "mine" and he carries them around. His favorites are a dinosaur book (that is mine!) and a bird book (that is Katie's). He likes to hold them in the car too.

Graham has a reasonable array of all of his teeth, and is talking up a storm---mostly one-word phrases. But he can sneak in the occasional two-worder, like "mine book!" He certainly can follow a wide array of complex multi-part instructions. And he is STILL a really snuggly little guy!

We have two musical instruments, as far as I know. A kazoo and a harmonica. Both are orange (like Finn's bike) since that is his favorite color.

Here are two pics from the boys at various parks. The top one is from Los Gatos, where they have a giant model airplane. We visited there right after we got some family portraits taken in and around the forest in the park.

Here is Finn trying out a new tree at Westlake Park, which is just down the street from us.

For a friend's 2-year-old birthday party, we make the hour-drive up to Redwood City, to Ryan and Sally's house. They have this fun little horse that I think Finn sat on the last time we were over there. Sadly, I think that our boys' room is pretty much at toy capacity, at least until they get bunk beds in the year 201X. We'll see!
