First time in new stroller seats

Today was the first time in their new toddler stroller... it took us a half-hour to assemble it in the grocery store parking lot, and just as long to get the straps figured out, but now T&G can look forward and see where they're going!

 

Music time

This was taken today... Thomas and Grace love to play guitar with their dad.

In this video, you can even see Grace dancing!

Thomas venturing outside

Grace's first teeth!

Grace has 2 adorable little teeth in the bottom center. Thomas is still toof-less, but teething like crazy, so it's any day now for him!

Eating messy

While Thomas eats a little messier than Grace, they are both slowly getting messier. :)

Grace crawling (well, sort of)

Grace can now crawl... backwards! (although she's only done it once).

Shopping!

This is our first time in shopping carts, and we did great!  Of course, Thomas pooped, and Mom and Dad forgot the diaper bag in the car (and the store didn't have a baby changer), but that's another story!

He takes after his dad

Already loves cars, just like his Daddy

Sitting pretty

Thomas & Grace are getting very good at sitting up.  While Grace still falls back every now and then, she's actually more balanced on her bottom than Thomas, who moves so much that he has trouble staying upright. Enjoy this series of photos which really illustrates the difference between them:

Keeping the crawlers out!

Thomas realized for the first time the other day that he couldn't get past the gate in the living room. :) while he normally could care less, and is perfectly happy playing in the living room, I think this is a sign of what's to come.

  

Swimming on the boat

We bought a little kiddie pool when we were back east visiting my grandma, and now it sits outside on the top level on our boat... it's a great way for the kids to cool off. They love it.
Here's Thomas and Grace in the pool in New York on my grandma's back porch, then Grace having a blast in the pool on our boat. (It's a bit cooler here in the bay area than it was in NY!)
