Video Boys

Again, props to Keith and Dorthe for the usb cord. Its so nice to share photos and video again. We are busy as usual but LOVING this weather. Winter in Charleston is like summer in Europe, and it is delightful for a change. We are enjoying it while we can. I heard from a colleague in Connecticut last week that is was cold and rainy.
Here are some videos of the guys.
First, Mike trying to make Will laugh. He will give a big belly laugh, but it is hard to catch on tape. Here is a good estimation.
His other trick is doing a pushup and locomoting around, though it can't be called crawling yet (its almost always backwards). It has drastically changed our ability to leave him unwatched for even a moment. places that were safe last week are not anymore, but we are trying to keep up.

James is thriving at his new school. next week is our first foray into the class valentine exchange. any hints or suggestions from experienced parents are welcome.
his videos include a short discussion about yogurt, and an example of his wonderfully atonal singing voice. much like his mum he loves to sing, but is not especially gifted. sorry you cannot see him very well- i was trying to catch him without his knowledge. hmmm...
That reminds me of the lecture I gave last night on informed consent. Yikes! Please don't sue us when you're eighteen, buddy.

enjoy your weekends!

Great videos, love how Will is trying hard to get the camera from you, but just can't reach it. Another thing my Mike and James have in common, the singing. love it.

And i thought Brendan was the only boy who ate while clenching a truck/car/train in the other hand!
Now i park them out of reach (but within vision) because 1/2 hour to eat one bowl of yogurt is too much!
