Mamaw & Papaw
For Mamaw & Papaw for their birthdays, we had photos taken of them with Naomi & Jacob.
It was so much fun and we love the way they turned out!

Striped pajamas
Both kids are going up a size right now so we had a little shopping excursion to buy them a few new clothes. I picked out these striped pajamas for Jacob and told Naomi to pick which she wanted. She chose the matching ones!
Jacob videos
I've been trying to get some videos of Jacob, but he doesn't perform well when I have the camera. These aren't great, but they're the best I've been able to manage.
He loves to play peek-a-boo with a blanket. (And no, it's not unusual for him to get the blanket stuck on his head.)
He also loves to clap and wave.

Brenda's Visit
Our friend Brenda from West Virginia came up for a visit this week. She's the one who had sent Naomi her recliner and was glad to see it used in person.
Brenda also brought a new special present for Naomi: a doll high chair. Brenda had gotten it for her dolls when she was 5, and now she's passing it on. Naomi is thrilled with it! Doll is now very well fed.
Butterfly Brenda also gave Naomi a new set of sheets for her bed and a few new outfits. (Guess what's on them.)

Naomi
Naomi is a great helper! She especially loves to help with cooking. She's proficient with pouring, stirring, and cracking eggs. Grandma even got her her own little apron. (She thought posing for photos was an unnecessary delay to the cooking.)
Here she is making a cookie cake with Ellen.
She also loves to help take care of Jacob. Most meals, she will get the jar of food for him out of the drawer. Here she is "organizing" the jars before picking one. (Our kids are bound to be either compulsive organizers like Sam and I both are, or are going to go to the other extreme and be hopeless. Naomi is definitely an organizer.)
With the weather finally getting warmer, Naomi is always asking to go outside to play. She'll take her stroller out and walk her doll up and down the front path. When she can't go outside, she'll tell me she and Doll are "going to the mall" and she'll push the stroller through the house.

Sunny Afternoons
We're so glad to have sunny spring weather! We took advantage of a recent nice afternoon and took the kids for a walk in the wagon. (I have no clue why some of my pictures are posting sideways.)
Of course, we had to stop at the park.
