We're thinking of saving this first picture for Nora's high school senior year book. Also to note - there are about SIXTY of these on my phone, since she's figured out how to change the perspective to see herself as she's taking the picture. Nice. It actually reminds me of her ultra-sound pictures, when Ben and I were worried she'd have clown lips...
Here is the grocery cart they love to ride, and I hate to push. It has virtually no turning radius. Forget about moving around any other carts or boxes or people stocking the shelves. There's a scene in the first Austin Powers movie where he's trying to un-parallel park a golf cart, and it's about five minutes of him going back and forth. That's pretty much what it's like. Call me grumpy (I am), but I still let them ride in it!
Nora can do supported head stands!
A beautiful evening at the park after eating at Los Amigos. Check out this kid's thick, curly hair!
Charlie can climb onto almost any surface in our house now, in a matter of seconds. Kitchen table, desk, bathroom counter. You can see how pleased he is with himself. Also - since we're talking milestones - he can say about 30 words that I consistently understand, has frustration tantrums when he isn't allowed to do what he wants, and is learning to use a spoon (sort-of). After two or three successful bites, he just digs in with his hands, even if it's something soupy like applesauce.

I found these two in the bathtub the other morning. I asked Nora how Charlie got in, and she said, "He told me he wanted in, so I pulled him by his jammies."
