My Jlellies
I just got Sapphie a new pair of shoes since Cabot ate her slip-flops. She loves her new "jlellies" and is so proud of them! Here she is today at the playground with Ruby and Lauren. She's so cute.
That's my hand
Teo has found his hands and is memorized with them. He'll slowly lift his arm into the air and stare at his little fist, trying to move it with all his might. It's so funny! If he is able to get it to move, his fist will smack him in the face and then he'll stick the whole thing in his mouth and start sucking on it like crazy.
When I hold him up to look at me, he slowly reaches out to touch my face. He's getting better at it! It's so amazing how quickly their coordination develops.

Willing the hand to move...
Hello!!
He got it!!
Hello!!
He got it!!
Special moments
I'm always telling Kevin about the cool things he misses out on since he doesn't get to breastfeed the babies. Teo is in such a funny stage so I've got to document some of the adorable things he does.
One of my favorite moments is in the mornings, around 8. If Teo is fussy (which he often is), Kevin will take him when he gets up at 6. They'll play for a couple hours while I sleep, and Kevin will bring him back to me at 8 for a snack and a nap. Teo's feet will be freezing (because daddies don't notice these things), and you can see him go into ecstasy as I snuggle him in with his cold toes against my belly. We'll lay down together and huddle under the covers, and he'll start nursing. His eyes start rolling back in his head because he is SO tired, but he fights it so hard so he can stay up and eat some more. Then his eyebrows do these amazing waggles (Sapphie used to do this too). You can see him savoring every single sip, and you know he would stay down there forever if he could.
Other times, when I pull him up for air to burp him or switch sides, he get so upset! His little lip curls and and he starts up with the most pathetic cry you've ever heard as if he hasn't eaten in days. When I let him nurse for too long, even if he isn't hungry he stays there playing around and having fun. Then when I pull him up he's got milk all over his face and he looks half drunk he's so full.
Babies are so funny. At least for mine, they have both been so passionate and serious about nursing. It's like as long as they have the boob, all is right in the world.

Hilarious phrases by Sapphie
I'm so scared I'm going to forget the latest and funniest of Sapphie's vocabulary. Here are my favorites:
When she's feeling sorry for Teo - "poor guy"
When Kevin is talking too loud while Teo is sleeping - "No daddy stop that! That's not nice per Teo! He needs a good nap!"...or "no daddy that's not true!"
When she's been whining and I am visibly tired of it, she'll suddenly start talking in the sweetest little voice and say "Mummy, I'm talking like a normal person per you!"
When Cabot chews her shoes - "Babot, you're a bad boy up there!"
"No teeth at-all!"
"Mummy, I want some gunk (gum)"
Sapphie: "This goes in here."
Me: "No Sapphie, it doesn't."
Sapphie: "It dooze mummy, it dooze!" "I think so!"
When she first wakes up in the morning - "Wanna go for a walk or somefing?"
When we're hanging out doing nothing - "Can we go for a walk so I can enjoy my day?"
When she loves what I'm wearing, or likes the bag I'm carrying - "I love that mummy"
Often, she says "I want all them all"
When we are wearing the same shoes - "We all both have slip-flops!"
Almost daily now, when she gets the tofuti cuties out of the freezer by herself and it's not time for dessert so I take it away...she says "Gimme my ice cweam samich!!!!"
"Mummy, can we watch a show? I'm in charge!"
And she's always walking around like she is in charge. It's so funny. Here she is visiting a farm with Kevin, walking to give the goats some water, as if she owns the place!

Isaacus
We grew up with Isaac, and so he's like our brother. My dad calls him "Isaccus" - he loves Isaac. And for Sapphie, Isaac is quickly becoming her best friend. She loves him so much and he loves her, except when she calls him "miss Isaac".
As many of you know, Isaac is a professional photographer. He's shot some great photos of Sapphie, and the thing I just love about the pictures he takes is that in addition to being beautiful, they totally capture her spirit and her love for life. Here she is in our back yard on Memorial Day, playing with the airplane Papa got for her.
I keep telling him...you've got a gift for shooting kids...see for yourself:
