Homemade jungle gym

Dominic and I have an ongoing game of submitting ideas for “Idea of the Year”. I think his homemade gym is winning so far.

I left the Dollar Store yesterday with the best toy: glow in the dark necklaces. Milo and Luca spent an hour running around the house, giggling their hearts out.

Christmas Break

Thirteen glorious days at home with the family. The highlights included Christmas dinner (Cincinnati chili from scratch), our second trip to Breitenbush Hot Springs, Portland’s sunniest December and homemade pretzels.

Running around Breitenbush’s Great Room

After the kiss, Luca says “touch” and makes the sign for “gentle.”

Christmas cape from Grandma Gloria

Hunting for bubbles

It melts my heart when the babies rub their chests and say “nummy-nummy (aka yummy).” 

Milo did this tonight after tasting his first pretzel.

Milo is huggy
