before a hair trim - a few hairs kept stabbing her in the eyes



can't catch me! (Elliott is REALLY fast)

after the trim - oops, a little too short. Lorelei is mulletted.



Elliott Mud Magnet - you know he's had fun when every pair of footware he owns is drying on the heater




Elliott working with a piece of rope, something he really enjoys



both kids LOVE Basil Bunny




finally, high-tailing it out of the limelight

We made a corn box from Elliott's turtle sandbox. It's hard to keep Lorelei from eating the corn, but they both LOVE it




No mom, it DOESN'T FIT! (it's 18 months, sheesh)

Elliott finally gives his remote control car from Marie and Peter another chance

At Christmas, he kept bending the remote control antenna, but now he seems to be able to control himself and has a blast driving it away from Lorelei, who runs after it trying to eat the antenna off.

MMM, fresh bread thanks to Dad

Lorelei trying to explain something

Ugh, snarky girl is frusrtated!

GROAN, she just doesn't get it!





Hmm, too much snuggling



Lorelei's egg (fell and whacked her head)

Elliott's matching egg from standing up too close to the wood stove and whacking into the corner - owee!

Elliott is starting to draw recognizable things, on occasion - here is an elephant!

Artist seriously studying his model (see the pink elephant?)

Lorelei loves Elliott's doctor kit

sippy cups are way fun!

Cheese and crackers and cheese and cheese and crackers and more cheese, please!



Yes, they're actually starting to really play together!
