Silly Faces

Davis definitely likes to be the star of the show.  On Monday, I walked in to the lobby at preschool to pick up Landon.  Waiting there were about ten other parents to pick up their children.  As we walked in the door, everyone turned to look at Davis, at which point he stuck out his tongue and blew, making a lovely noise for all to hear.  I’m not quite sure what possessed him to do that at that moment, but it sure got a good laugh out of everyone there.  I think he was a little embarrassed after.

At dinner, he tends to want to entertain more than he does eat.  Here are some silly pictures of him tonight at dinner, and one silly video.

And here’s the video.

Tree Falls and Water Falls

I’ve been recently informed by my brother David that I am apparently breaking several blog rules. 

Rule #1:  If you have two kids and you make a blog post, pictures* must be included.

Rule #2:  Words should take up less space than the pictures*

Rule #3:  Make a blog post at least every 2 weeks.

*Pictures can be replaced with video.  If the video is longer than the time it takes the average 6th grader to read the text then it will fulfill rule 2.

So, with that in mind, I’ll be brief, as I only have a few pictures.  Last weekend, Shane’s brother Kelly and his girlfriend Chantee came to visit us in P-town.  We cut down a tree, ate some delicious food downtown, admired the view of the city from the Pittock Mansion, and saw Multnomah Falls.  Here’s a few pics of our adventures:

(Two more guys later and some more strategic cuts and we finally got the tree down in the right direction.  Phew!  I had to leave to pick up Landon from preschool so I don’t have any pictures of the final tree-falling excitement.)

Bedtime Routine

Besides the bath, story, prayers, and singing, Davis had decided he needed another element to his bedtime routine. After my version of a his bedtime routine, I leave him nicely lying down on his pillow with his blanket and doggy. A few minutes later, we can hear things falling, and before long, he is crying. When we go in there, he has everything from his crib thrown on the floor, including his pajama top and bottom. Luckily, he hasn't yet taken off his diaper. We usually repeat this routine about three times before he finally goes to sleep.

Last night, there was a small glitch in the routine. We'll have to see if this prevents future occurrences (doubt it). Shane and I were sitting out on the couch and heard the familiar fall of his doggy, his pillow, etc. , when all of a sudden we hear Davis screaming. Shane hurried in there, and this time, Davis had thrown everything out of his crib except his pajama top, which he had somehow managed to get wrapped around his back with his arms still stuck in it.

Shane and I weren't too sympathetic and laughed when we saw what he had done. Hopefully he learned his lesson . . . but probably not. I'm just glad he hasn't started getting himself out of the crib too. (knock on wood)

On a Roll

Here are two more videos we filmed this week that I actually took the time to upload. The first is of Davis eating a cupcake for dessert tonight. He had it in a bowl, and I guess he thought smooshing it up against his face was the best way to eat it. Click here to watch it.

The second one is of me reading stories to the boys the other night before bed. This one is a little long, so it's mainly for you grandparents, but if anyone has a little time on their hands and feels so inclined, click here to watch it.
