Gavin approves of the new design his employee (his mama) made for this blog. He looked at it and exclaimed in delight and put his hand up on the monitor against the handprints there.  I am happy he was interested because I was hoping it would be something he liked to look at, since it is a blog about him and his sister.

Gavin’s favorite things this week are space (the final frontier), caterpillars, popcorn and when Mama helps put Lilah on his shoulders for a piggy/wheelbarrow ride.  (In case you have trouble picturing this, I will try to explain.  Lilah’s legs are around his neck and he holds her feet and I hold her under the arms and then we run up and down the hallway.   They both enjoy this quite alot.  I’m hoping Chris will be able to get a picture of us in action soon.

Lilah is climbing onto our couch now!  Eek!  You can tell she’s so proud of herself but the way down is long for a baby.

Gavin and Lilah are having more and more “play” together now as Lilah is able to do new things each day.  I am looking forward to the creation of exclusive words and games between them.  Lately Lilah has been reaching out for Gavin’s face and they both laugh when she touches him.  Then he takes her hand and tries to help her grab his face again.  The learning experiences for both of them are so interesting and exciting to watch.  Lilah is learning motor skills and how to play.  Gavin is learning that other people have their own ideas and feelings and how much fun it is to make other people laugh!

I will be putting up some new pictures soon too, so check back!
