our favorite things..

this weekend did not lend any time to blogging.. but hey, isnt that what nap time is for? i just wanted to share a few of our favorite pass times from the past few weeks..

we have been spending more and more time reading lately. now that almost everyone is interested in a good story, its much easier to sit in the floor and spend time with books! every one's favorite book right now is a classic by the berensteins. titled he bear, she bear. i see her and she sees me. we see that we are he and she. its all about a brother and sister bear finding out that they can do or be anything they want.. whether they are he or she. L-O-V-E IT!

we also do quite a bit of singing around here.. all day. last weeks favorite kid song..

I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas

I like to ate, ate, ate ay-ples and ba-nay-nays

I like to eat, eat, eat ee-ples and bee-nee-nees

they pretty much think its hilarious. even the babies. and they love apples and bananas. so we might have eaten them for snack more than once last week! today we are having peaches. wonder if i can find a song about those...

just a couple of milestones to note.. everyone is getting much better at helping with clean up. and remembering which toys go where. very grown-up! and in baby-news, grace learned to get herself to a sitting position on her own! yay! i see crawling in her near future!

stay tuned for more random pictures of our days together.
