We had a lovely time at the annual 1000-egg hunt at our neighbor’s house last weekend. We couldn’t believe the weather held out for being outside, and the sun even broke through a few times! JT found a large egg, and so did Wyatt… but of course the adults were stuck hanging on to them.Continue reading “Eggs and Baseball”

Eagles News
It was a pretty big day in the Keene house. First, second graders sang at today’s Eagle Assembly. JT does not enjoy being on stage, but it’s growing on him. This is the first year (in 5 performances) that I’ve ever seen him actually sing on stage. He was smack dab in the middle ofContinue reading “Eagles News”
Tots Tumbling
I managed to get a video of Haley at her tumbling class. She just absolutely loves her class, and her teacher. It is very fun to watch her try a “stork stand” on one foot, among other things. Here she is doing a springboard jump with a forward roll.
Officially a Walker
Haley is officially a walker more than she is a crawler. It is so fun to see her walk into a room and peek around the corner of the door. I remember from JT that surprise when you look to the floor expecting a crawler to enter but a couple feet higher is your walker’sContinue reading “Officially a Walker”
15 Months and 40 Months
(Also known as 1 1/4 and 3 1/3) Haley had her fifteen-month checkup today and we are pleased to report that she’s gained a whole two pounds since she turned one. Hooray! I was busy celebrating while her doctor was reminding me to continue a high-calorie diet. Haley would have to gain another three poundsContinue reading “15 Months and 40 Months”
Haley’s First "Ski"
I don’t even know what to type other than 1) this was his idea, and 2) leave it to an older brother to do this for fifteen minutes all around the house!
Cooking Assistant(s)
Haley has learned how to climb up and down our two-step kitchen ladder all by herself. This means that I have not one, but two kitchen assistants. It is a little dangerous because Haley doesn’t yet know about not touching things on the counter. We are quickly teaching it! The other day she pushed theContinue reading “Cooking Assistant(s)”
A Trip to the Ice Cream Store
Here is the best clip yet of Haley walking. She walks a lot when she thinks no one is looking. 🙂 JT asked her if she wanted to go on a walk to the ice cream store. This is what they looked like coming back… they kept tripping and falling over each other andContinue reading “A Trip to the Ice Cream Store”
Friends
Now that Haley is more capable, it is fun to watch my two play together. Today I watched JT hold his sister’s hand and, ever-so-slowly, walk with her across the gym at workout. It was so sweet! I looked at Jim and said, “And that’s why I wanted two.” Here they are looking at magazinesContinue reading “Friends”
Somersaults and Steps
Haley has continued to take between two and eight steps at a time each day. She has great preserverance in this area, and she doesn’t seem to mind landing on her bottom a million times in a row. I haven’t been able to get a ton of great video footage yet, mainly because she normallyContinue reading “Somersaults and Steps”
