Preschooler

I am starting a preschool type structured play time with Titus and Elsa. Mostly Titus, but Elsa is so interested in what Titus does I have to include her somehow.

Today Titus is using kid scissors for the first time! I knew all that scrap paper would come in handy someday. Right? He loves "doing school." Even though he wants to ride bus to get there.

Elsa joins in the fun today by coloring. She does such an amazing job at holding her crayon correctly and drawing shapes and straight lines.

I am in awe at how different these two are. I really look forward to seeing them develop further and to see how Oscar resembles and differs from them too. (it's his nap time)

Oscar is 6 months

Six months ago a little 3 1/2 pound little baby boy waiting sleepily in a NICU for us to hold him. Now at six months old, Oscar still loves being held. But, he is close to sitting up by himself and he is learning to "swim." (aka pre-crawling!)

He is so much fun to hang out with. Tummy time is a family favorite! He's even enjoyed his first swing. Big brother Titus loved pushing little Oscar in his swing. And Elsa loved swinging next to him.
