Messy Babies

Not a whole lot has been going on lately. Ella is reaching for just about everything now, no matter what Matt and I are holding. She's gotten pretty good at using a sippy cup, though at least half of it ends up down her chest. Mark is an excellent eater and will eat just about anything. Here he is after some very messy blueberries and peas. We didn't get a picture, but the other day he had about twice as much food all over him. What a mess! And we have our first tooth coming in!! Mark's lower tooth is now poking through and I am so excited. He has been a bit of a grump lately, but as soon as that tooth poked out, he's been in the best mood. And I thought I would throw in this pic of Ella sleeping in her swing. It just made me laugh.

New Tricks

Ella has some new tricks she's been working on lately. She's gotten pretty good at sitting by herself and has recently discovered her feet. She grabs both of them at the same time, and is almost always missing a sock now. I can usually find it in Oatmeal's mouth! We're still working on sitting with Mark, but he's getting better and better. He has taken to splashing during his baths. He's still in his baby tub (though maybe not much longer) and just kicks his legs like a crazy man.
