Another tooth for Jimmy

Jimmy pushed out his third tooth today, finally getting one up top. He now takes the lead from Abigail, 3-2, and it couldn't come soon enough. He's been extremely cranky the past few days, and has also thrown in a few sleepless nights (for both him and mom) just to keep things interesting.

BOO!Happy Halloween!

Jimmy and Abby wish everyone a Happy Halloween. For their first Halloween, Jimmy and Abby paid tribute to one of the greatest movies of all time, Star Wars. Jimmy was Darth Vader, and Abby was Princess Leia.

How To Clinic #1Adventures in Babysitting

Jimmy and Abby ran a babysitting clinic today for Katie and Meghan. This on-the-job training featured the finer points of playing, eating, screaming, diapers and getting into trouble. They were a little worn out by the end of the day, but Jimmy and Abby said that both Kate and Meg handled it like troopers, and show great potential!

That's One Small Step for Baby...

... One Giant Leap for Jimmy!

Yes, that's right - Jimmy took his first step today. It was only one, he didn't get very far, and he couldn't do it again, but - it was progress. It's only a matter of time now until he's running around the apartment..

Mystery SolvedAbigail's Snack Hiding Spot Located

As reported on this very page on October 13, Abigail gave us a scare when we found her eating "something." It turned out to be Cheerios and Puffs that she just seemed to be pulling out of thin air. Security cameras have triumped over Abby once again, as her secret snack storage spot has been located. The photo speaks for itself.

Who needs hands when a mouth will do?

Jimmy has come up with an innovative way to carry Bunny, so that he can both crawl at top speed and still bring along his best friend. For Bunny's sake, I hope it doesn't hurt too much!

A Visit to the Doctor

We took a trip to the doctor today for our latest well visit. Jimmy weighted in at 21 lbs, 13 oz., and 29 inches. Abby was 20 lbs, 10 oz., and 28 inches.

Unfortunately, they both received their annual flu shots as well. Needless to say, neither of them was very happy, and the shots were quickly followed by a lot of screaming.

The best things in life...

The two things that make Jimmy the happiest: a Bottle and Bunny Rabbit...

... meanwhile, Abby's not as demanding. A bottle will do just fine!

Hide and Seek

Jimmy and Abby have discovered the joys of hiding from Mom and Dad. If it's a spot out of sight, it's for them. They both start laughing hysterically when they think that no one can see them.

Abigail Confesses!Major Break In The Binky Bandit Case

In a stunning turn of events today, Abigail confessed to being the mastermind behind the Binky heists. Court room observers believe that she did so to take some the heat off of Jimmy and Bunny. After her confession, Abigail was sentenced to 5 seconds behind bars, and had to pay a fine of 10 Cheerios, which she gladly offered up from one of her cheeks! As she was leaving the court house, she was overheard saying "if they think that this is the end of this, they've got another thing coming! They still haven't found the real binky stash yet."

Abigail is putting her cheeks to work

I thought that Abigail's cheeks had gotten a little bigger the past few days, and this only proves my point. She seems to be gearing up for the winter, and has begun storing food in her cheeks. On two separate occasions today, we found her chewing on "something." Not having any idea what it was, we of course panicked, and pulled it out of her mouth. Both times it turned out to be a Cheerio. We still haven't figured out where she was hiding them, or where she got them.

Jimmy's getting brave

Jimmy is a little closer to walking today. He can now let go of whatever he may be holding on to, and can stand on his own for several seconds before falling down. I think we may be in the home stretch now, and it's only a matter of time before he really starts his exploring.

Mom really does exist!Officially recognized by Abigail

Well, it took a while, but we finally have official recognition of mom. To mom's relief, Abigail can now say ma-ma, and does so on a semi-regular basis. We're still waiting on confirmation from Jimmy.
