J is for Jedi

Mom's been meaning to post this video for awhile. I got a new Star Wars ABCs book for my birthday, and instantly memorized what each letter stood for. Here I am showing off my skills until I get bored with Mom taping me.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease? Then why is it EVERYWHERE?!?!?

Once again, a plague has descended upon our household, this time in the form of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. I was the first to bring it home, and though pictures don't seem to do it justice, here are my feet. I won't show you the picture of what my poor butt looked like.

Next Tommy got it, and though I had the higher fever and more rashy bottom, I think he got it the worst. He's pretty much covered from head to foot, and even has some especially painful ones in the back of his throat and between his toes.

How do I know they're painful? Because Mom told me. Yup, she has it too. Adults rarely get it, but I guess she's one of the lucky few. She just wants to experience everything with us. So devoted. Here's a picture of one on her finger, but she keeps finding more by the minute on her hands, arms and toes.

The fun never stops (or is it starts?) around here. Here I am tonight in the backyard telling Chewy about what wussies Mom and Tommy are being. I've already got this disease beat, and am back to preschool tomorrow. Good luck, Mommy and Tommy!

More Sibling Rivalry

Mom borrowed a new Jumper for Tommy and put it in my room so he can otherwise occupy himself while I'm getting ready for my nap. I decided to test it out...

Then Mom came home with a new chair for Tommy so he doesn't have to crawl all over mine anymore.

And since Tommy got his first tooth, they made his crib into a padded cell so he doesn't chew on the wood (like I did when I was little). I helped him test it out...

And so did Chewy.

Now I'm trying to grow a mustache like Daddy can...

New Tricks

We have all developed some new talents lately. Tommy pulls up on EVERYTHING. Here is the little face Mom sees every time she goes in to get him:

I have taken playing with my food to new architectural heights...

And Chewy and Daddy have become vicious moth hunters.

Tommy's Photo Session

Here's a picture from Tommy's first photo session at 7 months old. Such a big boy! In fact, he's so big and mature now that his first tooth even broke through this morning. Mom and Dad are currently frantically searching for the teething rails for the crib.
