Jamisen visited Alise last week and was quite happy to hold her and be a helpful older cousin. He still doesn't understand the concept of holding her neck up but he's sure valiantly trying to show affection.
Aunty Sharon and baby Alise bond.
Baby Lily is growing up super fast. She can say the words "apple" "blueberry" "baby" and "fish." She signs "more" quite well and understands 100% of what is said now.
Lily is 17 months old now and the 18 month old clothes are still too big for her. She weighs just about 22 pounds, as of this morning. Jamisen is a whopping 32 pounds. Lily out-eats him 3:1 generally. This morning, she ate 2 fried eggs, 4 mandarin oranges, a handful of wafers and a pat of butter. Jamisen ate 1 fried egg and 1 orange and proclaimed himself 'done.' This is completely normal in our household.
Lily is getting obsessed with water. It's just what Jamisen went through at this age. Only the difference is that she's also playing the toilet, which he never did. We have to keep all the lids down or else she happily splishes and splashes in the porcelain throne.
Jamisen loves his tutu and can be found wearing it most weekend days now. He proclaimed himself to be a "princess car driver." We are fully supportive of his creativity of thought.
Jamisen loved using the umbrella as a parasol for his victory race car lap.
Jamisen still has a special bond with Ava. Here they are, Facetiming. He is showing her his Olympic torch craft project. Of course, when he finally got her on the phone, he completely clammed up and didn't talk to her. #Adorable.
Work wise, it's been busy for us all. I just got back from DC (lobbying) and am thankful to be back to the family. Chris and I even managed to get in a date night (and saw the movie "Gone Girl"). It's nice that the kids are getting older so that is just barely starting to be possible - regular date nights. =)
