I'm SUCH a Good Eater

Anya loves to eat, but she doesn't like being fed...she wants to do it all by herself, so we have had to give her as much big people food as her little system will allow so she can grab it with her hands and feed herself, otherwise...look out!

Halloween Festivities

Update on Anya

Anya is just a bundle of curiosity. She already loves looking at herself in the mirror and ESPECIALLY videos of herself that I post on here. She gets all excited and starts talking to herself and jumping up and down. The other day we actually got her to laugh by pretending to sneeze...it totally made my day.

Gymnastics

Jonah has also started taking a little gymnastics class at the YMCA so he can tame some of his tricks. There are two videos here...one is him doing his tricks at home and the other is at his gymnastics class. He did really well actually even though he is actually a bit younger than he is supposed to be in the class.

Update for Jonah

So, Jonah has had an exciting last month. We took him on a little vacation down to Vallejo, CA to go to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. It is a really great place for kids because it has alot of animal attractions, which is his favorite. We saw Shouka the Killer Whale and some sea lions and a dolphin show and there are also many kid rides. Here is a picture of Aaron and Jonah in a yellow submarine.

We also went to a pumpkin patch on a real farm this last Saturday with his "second cousin twice removed?", Grady, so he could pick out his own pumpkin this year. There was also a hay maze and animals and a little train and all sorts of fun stuff.

Just a Little Update

Anya is getting so big and expressive. She LOVES to be awake and look around at everything. If she is up she either wants to be sitting up or standing up and gets very angry if we try to cradle her in our arms because she might miss something. She is getting quite chubby too, which I'm excited about since Jonah was always a rail. Speaking of Jonah, he is very much in love with his little sister and I fear if we let him he would love her to death. His hugs and kisses can be quite dangerous at times. Recently, he has been enjoying making new friends and is becoming quite the socialite on the playground. We tried him in a karate class because that's what he loves to do at home, but we both decided he should wait until he is 4. He was a little shy for that. He will stick to doing his "tricks" at home. I will have to see if I can post some one of these days. Anyway, here are a few updated videos and pics.

Friend Shaving His Head for Cancer

Hey guys! I know this is not like my usual postings, but I had to post it when I saw it. A friend of mine from the old college days recently shaved off his long hair to support his dad who has been diagnosed with cancer. He has always made me laugh, but now it has been captured on film. Check it out if you like.
