Eliza is proficiently rolling around now. She is starting to explore the sounds she can make - "oooh-oooh." She is grabbing at everything, loves to eat paper, and gets stuck sometimes as she tries to roll into the furniture legs. She's on a great schedule. She takes 3 naps a day. She has her 'dinner' sometime between 7pm - 7:45pm, and then goes to bed about 1 hour later. She sleeps until about 7am - 7:30am in the morning. I love it.
Jed had to change the breakpads on the car the other morning, and of course he had his devoted helper out there with him. He is Jed's official sidekick. Benjamin is becoming more and more self sufficient. For instance, he just noticed a magazine on the table and declared, "I need some scissors so I can open this, Mom." Then he got out the big pair of scissors himself. Hmmmmm.... I traded him for some kid-scissors. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. He can dress himself (underwear put on backwards still counts), get out of the house himself if it's not locked, strap himself into his carseat, help himself to food from the fridge, 'read' to himself... He's actually really good at entertaining himself in general. His favorite is when Jed and I both hang out in his room. He loves having us in his room - he shows us his toys and how he can run fast from here to there... It's cute.
Our two morning cuties. Don't you love that strangled look on Eliza's face? haha! She's used to the uncomfortable hugs from her big brother. :)

I haven't had computer access for over a week so it was so FUN to see your updates. Loved the "strangle hugs", undies on the head for Benjamin, CUTE Eliza, and hearing about the fun activities. What a neat helper Jed has, I sure wish he was close to help grandpa and grandma Walker ;).
