Gigi visited a week ago and apparently she never made it back home. On Sunday we told Joseph that Gigi needed to get on a plane to go back home. During a walk later in the day, Joseph pointed out a small prop plane flying over the neighborhood.
"There's Gigi!" he shouted.
And again midweek, we spot a jetliner. Gigi must be capable of some mid-air acrobatics, since Joseph points out that she's on that plane too. Clearly, she's a very capable woman...
Gigi: We enjoyed the visit and we're sorry you had to spend so much time flying over San Antonio!

Poor Helpless Joseph
Hey you folks in the blogosphere! Apparently Nana anticipated Lena's needs when she sent baby dolls last month. Before their arrival, Lena had looked for a baby of her own. Poor Joseph, however, didn't appreciate laying helpless during a diaper change while Lena grabbed a wipe and started "cleaning up"...

Joseph Enjoys his Birthday Ice Cream
Everyone just celebrated Joseph's third birthday. Grand Debbie came down to party and mommy busted out an awesome, homemade dinosaur cake. Also, Lena served as the official dinosaur mascot. Thanks everybody for the party. Check out the photos here:

Lena... You've Got Something... uh... Nevermind
Lena celebrated her first birthday this month--Wha???? Yes, I said it. First birthday. Here's the birthday girl showcasing her personality and her love for delicious, delicious cake.
After her birthday, Lena apparently decided to sprint ahead on the ol' developmental timeline. She can pretty much freakin walk and talk now. We're up to 5 steps and "What's that?" Say wha?! Yep.

Lena Stood Up Today
Heather tells me that Lena stood up without holding onto anything. Apparently she popped a squat, pushed her arms up like a weightlifter, grunted and took off. She didn't get very far, but good job baby!

Lena Smile Spray
Here's Lena enjoying some sprinkles from August. I'm sorry there won't be any new photos for awhile--Joseph turned the camera into an expensive digital photo viewer.
I took Joseph "camping" last night in his bedroom. We setup a tent and a sleeping bag. When I asked him earlier whether he wanted to camp, he replied, "No... I stay in my house."
"What?" I asked.
"My house," he said, gesturing impatiently at his outdoor playset...

Walking Wedge
Lena figured out she could walk across the room after Joseph left the "climbing triangle" turned on its short side.

Corpus Christ Beach Trip
We vactioned to Corpus Christi, TX, after my long stint away at training. The days at the beach were lots of fun. The kids went wild for the beach, though Lena's tougher than Joseph when braving the waves.
In contrast, the novelty of staying in a hotel room made the evenings pretty terrible--Lena pooped right out, but Joseph ran wild. I pulled a SuperNanny and kept putting him back in his bed, which worked after 40 tries. We thought he was down when we heard "Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up" coming from somewhere near the baby's folding crib. That's when I wanted to start spanking, but we made it through without.
After a few more freak-outs, everyone made it to sleep. Around 2am, starting screaming again which turned out to be gas. After some gas medicine and 20 minutes of straight screaming Joseph and I ended up in the van for a few hours so Mommy and Lena could sleep.
We hit the beach again the next morning and everything returned to awesome!

Best of March-April 2009
A lot of stuff happens in March and April! Lena smiles. Joseph runs after some helicopers and tanks at an Army post. Lena eats solid food for the first time and laughs on camera. Joseph eats dry oatmeal from his pants and steals the camera. Easter occurs. Lena swings on the playset. Joseph flies a kite at the Dog and Kite Festival. And none of it happens in any particular order...

Best of February 2009
Lena rolls over. Her prize? Getting poked in the eye by another baby. Joseph pops some bubble wrap.

I Crushed Joseph
When I come home most days, Joseph greets me at the door with a loud, "It's da!" He always pleads for me to pick him up. I make him say "please," then we rough house until dinner.
This Friday, I was supposed to be home on time so Heather could make an appointment. Running late, I had about 2 minutes to grab the baby as Heather scooted out the door. Joseph saw me skip past him to grab Lena. He crumpled to the floor, a sobbing heap of toddler. Not even an episode of Curious George could make it better. Daddy had forgotten him :-(

Who's that guy?
We went to the zoo again today because Joseph asked all week long to "see monkies." He even proposed riding there on his bike sans clothes. We decided not to let him go solo, and had a good time. Joseph didn't throw any fits and we spent a lot of time looking at the monkeys. We explored the zoo's new Africa section. Each time Joseph saw a new animal he'd say, "Who's that guy?"
When we reached the warthogs, he asked again. Then, looking at the horns he ventured a guess... "Ceratops?"
