Manuevers in the Kitchen

We spend a lot of time playing in the kitchen these days...

It's plenty big, and we have it set up so that Silas & Zoe can crawl from the kitchen, down half the hallway and then go directly into the nursery. They play like little monkeys in the kitchen and hallway, and they like to sit and look at books in front of the bookshelf in their room.

Silas & Zoe's two favorite things in the kitchen include the refrigerator and the dishwasher. As soon as they hear either of those two things open, you better watch out! Silas could be playing in the nursery or hallway when the dishwasher is opened, and you will immediately hear the pitter-patter of fast little crawling as he beelines your way!

Zoe was in fine form this morning talking up a storm, so I started off shooting this video to capture her mood. Derek happened to be making bottles, so the video turned into a perfect glimpse into how we manuever the two of them and their favorite kitchen appliances!

Finally, I'm posting this last picture for Auntie Phee-Hee. She loves to see Zoe stand up because she looks so tiny. This picture really shows her size in relation to her favorite playspace!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

York's Wild Kingdom

Friday was our last day of vacation and check-out time at Village by the Sea was 10am. We wanted to do one last fun thing before coming back to Boston, so we headed to York's Wild Kingdom in York, Maine. The zoo had just opened when we got there, and apparently lots of other families had the same idea as us! This zoo is definitely aimed for little kids, and Silas and Zoe (and Derek!) had a blast! Our first stop was the butterfly sanctuary, and this was definitely my favorite part of the day... We had the kids both in and out of the stroller throughout our visit. The zoo was packed with people, so it was a little nuts having them roam free and try to manage an empty double stroller too. But they were happier to get in and out of the stroller at their leisure with all the walking. There were several highlights for the kids - all of which involved feeding the animals from your hand. One was the duck pond, The deer were pretty awesome, As was the petting zoo
