BIG Day at Pokey Oaks

Wow...today was a big day. First off, it's my brother's birthday. So big shout out and birthday wishes to Barry. Hope it was a good one!

Here's Jumpy, Mommy and Kicky making our "aren't we cute?" faces. Watch out World!




I came home to B-I-G news. Jason was walking, all by himself, all over the place. He was even pushing his little musical push along toy that you walk behind. He was smiling and quite confident of his new found skill. Yay Jason! You go go go!



Here's Jason's squishy smiley face aka Gameshow Host Smile.





Kevin was very supportive of his brother and followed along happily.

Here's a picture of all the Doherty boys.


Other funny things.
Yesterday AM while I was getting ready for work, I heard much giggling and general merriment. I peeked into the nursery and watched as Jason and Kevin were playing hide-n-seek with each other. Jason sat in the Aquarium tunnel while Kevin peered around one end and then crawled to the opposite end and peered into it.  In the meantime, Jason was poking his head out the opposite end, giggling away. After Kevin peeked into the far end, Jason crawled out of the tunnel and then Kevin crawled in and they played another round, this time with Kevin in the tunnel and Jason on the outside. Adorable.

If you ask the boys "Who's cute?" they will cock their heads to the side and smile. Jason will even go "Awwww"... as in "awwww ain't I cute?"  It's pretty funny. Of course I will bet big money that when my parents are visiting, should I say "Who's cute?" that boy boys will stare at me blankly. Here's hoping that the cat doesn't make me out to be a liar.

Things the boys have eaten lately:
cat fur (we try to stop them)
chic (soy) nuggets
yogurt
american chop suey/johnny marzetti
macaroni and cheese
peas
pears
books
quiche
tortilla chip (just 1 a piece)
Annie's crackers (the bunny ones)
Life
Matzoh Ball soup (b-i-g  hit)
animal crackers

Tomorrow: carrot quiche and macaroni and cheese with peas. Tune in tomorrow for the details on how it went.
