ILP rolling photo quarantine

Things is Beeps looks so damn confident there - "I'm gonna be skating over to that corner and then probably over to that corner" - and her little skates - so cute - I see little versions of Converses or Dr Martin's and I immediately want to have another baby just so I can buy 'em.
(note to self: this is not a good reason to have another baby)

haha Ned, you and me both. I still feel kinda sad about not having any more kids. But y'know, I don't wanna be this crazy mom with eight kids. Crazy mom with two is enough. hah

best face ever

also, re: "Gloria's Kid" I thought we were talking about Batman. Different Gloria. I think... I'm really not sure of anything anymore.

I can't believe how big your kids are Schwantz!

Straight-up toddlers, I know!

The boys found a skeleton. I had to explain to them that the museums wouldn't be very interested in "Cow N37".

Oh wow, Meg made another gorgeous boy yay!

Hope all the new parents are well and enjoying these first days. Am so broody!

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

I don't really know how they go from that little fragile bundle, more swaddling than actual human, into lunatic kids...

Archie is beautiful Meg! He looks so much like Howie!

Lulu is some kind of silent comedy goofball thesedays...

Or maybe she can do the wistful doomed romantic heroine thing too...

happy kiddo!

aww! all so cute!

michael jones, i am so jealous that your kids will grow up to have these beautiful photos of themselves as little ones.

i mean, imagine them on 'lolkindergarten: a picture thread' in 20 years. aw!!

Ben wrote (!!) his first word yesterday:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3539/3525121315_ae432bca4e.jpg

Ide is the nickname for his aunt Ilene. He's two-and-a-half.

woah!

O and B could say the alphabet around 18 m couldnt they? or did i dream that?

We hear "A B C D E F G, how I wonder what you are" a lot.

Which, to put some spin on it, I never realized those two songs had the same melody until I was like nine or 10.

i just realized right now.

Yeah, they are alphabet pals... I didn't realize the twinkle-abc connection until playing them on the piano a few weeks ago...

also only realized mary had a little lamb/london bridge connections a couple of months ago too. beeps has no hope.

i just realized that right now.

good thing she goes to school and isnt relying on our brains

Ben is smart! Ava's a good reader, not such a good writer (but she's come on a lot in the last six months - maybe it's a left-handed thing but she'd get tremendously frustrated at not being able to do much more than scribble at 3-3.5; now she's drawing "mummy, daddy and two monkeys having an argument on the moon" and it doesn't look like an off-day at the Pollock studio).

No way is Mary Had a Little Lamb the same as London Bridge!

<PRE>Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, LIT TLE LAMB</PRE>
<PRE>London Bridge is falling down, falling down, FALL LING DOWN</PRE>

i hope nieces are allowed:
