Just announcing the latest accomplishments of our two cuties, after all, doesn't BLOG stand for Brag Log??? ;-)

Anyway, about mid-march (somewhere in the week of the 11-17th ish) Jael started walking. She wasted no time in taking that skill to the extreme, and can now be seen attempting to jump without holding onto anything as she claps and dances to music. Jael also walks around the house now saying "nane tisa" because she hears Caleb counting a lot, and she also says her version of "Clap Clap" when you tell her to, and a pretty good "Auntie" if you catch her in a good mood.

Around that same time, we are proud to say that Caleb actually potty-trained! We still take no chances for accidents (because when he tells us he has to go, he usually means in the next few seconds) and use a diaper when we go out, but he's still good at telling us even then. He's very proud of this accomplishment, and mommy is extra happy because she hasn't had to change a dirty diaper for him in a couple weeks now! Caleb can tell you all his basic shapes: circle, square, triangle (his favourite), star, heart, oval, and rectangle, and today, out of the blue, he asked Ezra to draw a hexagon on a paper (something he must have learned from Grandpa or something). Also, he can tell you a slightly choppy version of the alphabet. This one he learned on his own, either from a toy or from TV, haven't quite figured it out yet, but he just started rattling it off one day. He just gets mixed up between J and P... the usual tricky part, I think. :-)

Hello to Okoti Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents

Caleb loves talking on the computer. This day we made a video to say hello to the family we have in Kenya, however Caleb was a little distracted. We ended up counting in two languages, though, and if you look closely, Jael is busy causing havoc in the background.

Crazy Jael

I think these ones speak for themselves... I'm sure many of you have been given this snorting look before too...

Haircuts Again...

This time we went really short with Caleb's hair, so it was photo-worthy, and we had to cut Jael's too because it was only growing in certain areas. No more ponytails for a while.

















































Jac, have a look at that one eyebrow, she's getting good practice with "the look"
