New Videos


Braiden ready to go bye-bye, in Uncle Scott's shoes on Saturday.

Noah just keeps on growing! He is loving the finger foods he has gotten to sample... Click here for a video of Noah being Noah, while eating Cheerios. He is becoming stronger and stronger too, and we think crawling isn't too far off. He pulls himself up on his knees a lot and gets around a little bit that way.

Here is a video of Braiden playing with a police car (he is very much into drilling these days), and more "Noah being Noah" moments. In the end Braiden shows off some of his signs. Speaking of which, he has been talking a lot more! Most of his talking is still "gooberish", but we have already lost count of how many words he has now. Good job!!! No 2 or 3 word combos yet, but he does combine words and signs into little sentences.

Braiden is really into pretend play. He goes bye-bye a lot (usually borrows the biggest pair of shoes he can find), and loves to "eat" and "feed". For the last couple of days, he has also been very willing to share his blankie and binkies... mostly with odd objects though, like fire trucks and bicycles on the road. He extends the object towards them and says something in gibberish. Sometimes he is a little miffed when there is no response.

During our trip, Braiden apparently learned to do puzzles. Here is a video of him from this morning... to our amazement, he finished the puzzle like a pro. This afternoon, while running our errands, we picked up two new ones. Click here to watch him do one of them - first time he ever even saw this puzzle. What other hidden talents does he have that we know nothing about?!

I loved the videos! Especially with the puzzles - Isabella still doesn't quite get how to turn the pieces to make them fit. There's hope, eh? Braiden's smile when he finished the puzzles was wonderful - what a great smile, and what a big boy! Noah is just such a little charmer! I love his little teeth!

Voi valtava miten hurmaavan ihana Noah on!
KIITOS noista videoista. Aivan kuin olisi ollut taas läsnä kuten siinä iChatissa! Ja oikein kunnolla oli etusormi- peukalo-ote.
Kiitos kun soitit.
Taisi ne Muumijutut tulla liiana aikaisin, mutta eikö aika tavaran kaupittele.
LOVE... sunnuntaihin !

Sennu - Did Abby enjoy?!

Sherry - It was so funny, because it really was out of the blue, as if he woke up that morning and just knew how to do it. As for Noah's teeth... there's four more about to pop through... ARGH!

Marsha - Haha! The boys are definitely settling in... Braiden is catching up on his eating and having fun with his "old" toys. :) And believe it or not, I'm all unpacked!! :-)

Äiti - Ai niin, piti sanoa että kiva se Muumi kirja, ja pojat ovat tykänneet kaivurista myös! Kiva että ne videot toimi sullekin.

Riikkis - Oooooh! Tulen katsomaan!!

Sennie said...

Great videos! Noah really likes to ham it up for the camera, huh? And wow! Braiden is amazing with those puzzles. I love how proud he looks when finished. I'm so glad both boys are doing so well.

Anya also love to pretend to go bye-bye, too, although it usually involves some sort of bag or purse (such a girl!) instead of shoes. Usually she tell me she's going to the supermarket to buy bananas and pretzels.

Sennu - Thanks for the blog award!! :) Glad Abby enjoyed. :)

Daniel - Thanks so much for the comment!! Yours are my favorites! Miss you!

Lauren - It is so impossible to try to take video of Noah doing anything - he immediately stops and hams it up, every time. I've been trying to get him in action, crawling, but nope... he stops and starts grinning immediately. :) Too funny about bananas and pretzels!!
