The Games They Play

Grace & Isaac's personalities are really starting to come out these days. Their play is becoming much more intentional - pushing buttons on toys, chasing each other & investigating things that they're curious about - it is fun to watch them discover the world one adventure at a time. Here are a few of their recent favorite activities:

Peek-a-boo!! As you can see below, Grace is especially fond of this game. She hides under towels, blankets, buckets, toys, or just behind her hands. She thinks it's pretty funny. Isaac often finds it more amusing to watch his sister than to actually play himself.




Isaac decided he'd better play a little too.


Isaac is a boy on the go! He runs all over the place now & his pace always quickens if he's getting into something that he shouldn't. He loves to be outside & cries everytime we bring him in now. He likes to push anything that he can move, from highchairs, to toys, to small shelves; he likes to test his strength!

Pushing his sister on their favorite toy bus.



Taking a breather after pushing the wagon around the backyard.



We don't know why, but his favorite item to push around is the kitchen stool...maybe it's the terrible noise it makes as it scrapes along the floors!


Grace is little miss limber, you would not believe some of the positions this child sleeps in & some of the tiny spaces she can squeeze into. Lately she loves to crawl into things...she'll open a drawer, pull out everything that is in the drawer & then crawl in. She's pretty proud of herself when I find her in a new hiding place.

Did you want a towel Mom?



Why play with toys when I can play in the toy basket?



This last picture captures both of their favorites - Grace crawled into this little wagon, & then Isaac pushed her around in it. What a funny pair!
