What's New With These Two

Some Insight Into Their Little Personalities:


I was cutting up cherry tomatoes into baby-sized bites for Em, when I noticed Jax was flipping all his tomato halves upside down so that the seeds were face-down.  Odd, but whatever.  Then I heard his little voice whisper, "It's aw white, tomatoes." (aka. all right)  "Don't be scared."  I looked up again with a quizzical look.  Why exactly do tomatoes get scared?

"Why did you flip the tomatoes over, Jax?"
"So they won't be scared, Mama."
"Why would they be scared?"
"Because I'm going to eat them."
"Now they can't see you coming?"
"Mmm-hmm," he agreed, mouth full of unsuspecting tomato.

At least he's showing empathy?  Remorse?  Imagination?  Lunacy?

And she is cracking me up lately.



Just one year old and loves taking her dollies for a walk.

And loves accessories.  Yesterday she kept pulling her sock off and trying to put it on her head like a hat or a headband.  So in order to keep her toes warm, I got her a hat.  And she wore it for as long as my fear that she was losing blood flow to her brain would allow!



It's a little tight, poor melon.

She loves all things girlie.  Today she wore a string of beads to the playground and rocked her blue Old Navy sunglasses.  She kept giving me a piece of ribbon this morning and putting it on her head.  Sorry, kiddo.  Not enough hair for pigtails yet.  We'll get there!

So that's what's new with these two.
