If You're Happy and You Know It...

"They" say that learning to clap is a skill most babies don't achieve until 10 months of age, so we must have some pretty advanced babies. Ari has been clapping for quite some time now, and over the last couple of days Alex has also achieved this milestone. He is very proud of himself and has been clapping almost non-stop today:

Today we also opened one of the Hanukkah presents from Nana and Poppy Jack- animal rockers- and Alex and Ari squealed with delight as they rode their new toys:

We took advantage of another beautiful (70 degrees- 2/3 of the way through December!) day to visit the tot lot for a ride on the swings. We also attempted to apply for Alex and Ari's passports (for our visit to Chile in March) but learned, only after we got to the post office, that you actually have to make an appointment and that there are no appointments this week due to the holidays. So we have an appointment to apply for their passports next week. I should mention that their passport photos are very cute...much cuter than their Mommy's!
