Lots of smiles

Our new camera sure is fun! (Patrick on left)

Big smiles from Patrick

Joe is not allowed to play with the baby swing because he can not distinguish when it is empty vs. when it is being occupied by a baby. His punishment is “time out” in the corner of the living room – far away from toys and all of the action. He was playing with the swing the other day and I gently reminded him that he could end up in time out. He promptly walked himself over to the corner and stood there for a few seconds! What a funny kid – it’s Joe version 5.0. Comes equipped with a self-punishing feature!

Luke giggled for the first time yesterday. Scott was tickling him under the armpit while getting dressed for bed, and he let out the cutest little giggle.

I feel like a real person today. I had two helpers today and so I went out to run errands. For those of you waiting for thank you notes, they may actually be coming soon (assuming I remembered to write down that you gave us anything…) Thanks for your patience!

Finally, Happy belated birthday to Aunt Katie!
