finally baby pix



we've always heard that "you take tons of pix of the first kid, but not of the rest." we're finding that to be generally true. we were under the impression that it was true because the cuteness had worn off, in initial wonder had passed, etc. this is not true in our house. we're not taking as many pictures because with two of them under two, we can't get a free hand to work the camera.

emmaus, at a month old, has obvious needs that we attend to.

israel, at 15 months old, has the makings of a great worker. he always wants to help, but his help needs more supervision to prevent catastrophe. "let me share my toys by dropping a truck into the pack-n-play while the baby is sleeping." (he didn't actually do that, but he tried.) he likes to shake the bottles for us to mix formula. the problem is that he likes to take it out of baby's mouth to shake mid-feeding to the disgust of the baby. he's a big helper when he takes used diapers to the trash. but, too often he brings the diapers back (and then some) as if to say, "see? this is the diaper i put in the trash!"
