Eleanor and Henry had a fun week trying to beat the late July heat.\u00a0 Our park trips were a bit shorter than normal – Henry in particular doesn’t love the heat.\u00a0 Henry’s first top tooth is finally making some progress after several weeks of anticipation.\u00a0 It has now broken through the skin and is just starting to show.\u00a0\u00a0 His new trick is to imitate Mom’s “kissing face”, and he ends up making a funny sort of fish face.\u00a0\u00a0 His favorite toys are currently the maraca and the bell and the train.\u00a0 He is really reaching for toys that he wants now, but hasn’t quite managed to roll over from back to tummy.\u00a0 He gets about half way around and gets stuck.\u00a0 His sitting is excellent – he can stay sitting indefinitely, with only the occasional\u00a0face plants or back splats.\u00a0 Henry really enjoyed a trip to the office to visit Uncle B – the Angry Birds were a big hit.<\/p>\n

Eleanor continues to work on her vocabulary – she is becoming quite a parrot.\u00a0 She will try to say just about anything that we say to her.\u00a0 We’ve been trying to get her to jump for the past week or so – she only has one more week until her second birthday, and apparently jumping is one of the milestones that they measure at age two.\u00a0 She likes it when I jump while holding her in my arms, but hasn’t mastered doing it by herself yet.\u00a0\u00a0 She did blow bubbles with the bubble soap all by herself this week for the first time.<\/p>\n
