Isaac giggles, and other fun developments

Isaac's giggle comes out most reliably for his brother. He's getting pretty good at rolling over, and with that comes the need to transition out of being swaddled while sleeping. Speaking of sleeping, we are starting to "sleep train" the munchkin, and, as of today - day 4 - its going pretty well.

what Rani calls "going swimming"

Aprons

The rain is keeping us indoors and getting creative with ways to amuse ourselves.


An add for how intuitive Mac products are.

Alternatively, how we are bad parents.

The other night Sara and the twins came over for dinner. After the mostly failed attempt at eating - at least for Rani, Darcy and Sean ate OK - the kids ran off to play. We three adults were appreciated a few moments of relatively calm play and indulging ourselves in adult conversation, when we discovered the cause of this undistracted time: the iPad. Rani had found the tablet, cozied in our bed with his cousin Sean, navigated to the Netflix app, then chosen a Diego video (a Nickelodeon cartoon) to watch. We know it was all Rani, since Sara and Neil don't own an iPad (the only instance where we own a gadget that they don't). Darcy later heard the commotion of the adults amazement of all this and wiggled her way between Rani and Sean.

Purim time is here

Rani celebrated the holiday of Purim at preschool, which entailed dressing up (thanks to cousins Sean & Darcy for sharing their costumes; until he saw the robot one he wanted to be either Queen Esther or a butterfly), eating treats, and making noise with noise makers.


Meanwhile, Rani is still really into the guitar.

4 month check up

Isaac rocked his 4-month check up today. He had been 13 lbs before his illness and dropped to 12. But today he was back up to nearly 14lbs, and he's a solid 35% for height (24.5"). But like his big brother, what Isaac really excels at is head circumference: 76%. (They come by that honestly - we Adams' have kind of large heads....) He is achy from all the vaccines, poor guy.
