February 20, 2008

I sat outside for two hours last Wednesday and took pictures of the lunar eclipse. It was really interesting to see because I don't think I have ever actually sat through one of those in its entirety. I got several really good shots so of course I had to post them here.

Rhiannon said something funny this week. She told me that when she grows up she will give her babies treats (chocolate) before breakfast, before lunch, and before dinner if they want because she will be a good mom! I asked her if I was a bad mom because I didn't do that and she said that I wasn't, just all the other moms. Hmmm....... I caught her reading to Brad one night when they were way past bed time. Brad was sitting up in his crib and she was reading to him from a pile of books in her bed. She is such a great big sister to him, almost motherly.

Brad has been saying "more" both verbally and by signing it. He says it when he wants to eat even though I have been trying to teach him how to say and sign "eat". He has also been saying "hi" a lot. It seems like this week he has changed a lot, although it is hard to point out too many specific things. He is able to sit in the bath now without the seat that suctions to the tub, which is good because the seat never stayed stuck anyway, and he always tipped over. There is also a McDonalds commercial that has just the right beat and song and he goes crazy dancing to it whenever it comes on. Dr. Phil's theme song is another favorite of his to dance to. One other big thing we noticed this week is that Brad will sit and "read" his books but now he brings them to us and points to things that he knows, especially the picture of the cat.
