Here's some more of Isabel's art.  This is a series called "Suns"  

I particularly like the 3 eyed one.

They really look like Tim Burton characters. I didn't post these because I didn't even know she drew them.  Isabel told me Bubbie drew them... I guess you can't trust a 2 1/2 year old.

I'm really impressed and didn't even believe she was capable of this as about 2 weeks ago she asked me to draw a sun and her copy of it was no where near as accomplished as these.

Man she's a damn bright kid..

The painting she did at school.  She seems really proud of it and likes it hanging up.  She calls it "Blue"

The light art was something I would show her but I don't think she understands it yet.  I will keep trying.

Well not to bore you but here's more jolly jumper videos.  I just wanted to show you that he's finally got it and really giving it.  Also he's taken to LOUD screaming.  I don't think he's unhappy but I'm not sure he's actually happy though...

He'll go like that for 15-20 mins straight and in that little section he's a little restrained.  The screaming gets louder and a little more frantic near the end as you can hear in the second video. Man... my ears hurt.

Also I wanted to share with you Isabel's family portrait.  The "person"

 on the far left is sometimes Charlie and sometimes Bubbie.  The next is mommy, I'm the potatoe with the stick arms and legs, and on the right is Isabel.  The big circles within mommy and daddy are our belly buttons.

Charlie really likes music but Isabel will be an artist for sure.  She loves to paint and draw and is pretty good with her control.  She likes to draw circles and is getting quite good at it.

Charlie likes his Jolly Jumper.  He's taken to it a fair bit younger than Isabel but it suits his flailing well.  He's really starting to get the hang of it.  It's funny how different 2 siblings can be.

Well, it's been a while and Mum's been bugging me for photos of Charlie so here's a couple photos from Halloween and a few videos.  Charlie's just started eating rice mush and he really is taking to it.  We can barely get Isabel to eat and you can see how agitated Charlie gets in between bites and how tough it is for Debby to get the spoon away from him.  He's so different from Isabel.  Also he flails about a lot and I like how he grabs my hand to get the food.  He was even holding the spoon on his own but he kept whacking himself in the head.  He did feed himself a bit though.

He's also really smiley and is ticklish, even to the point of giggling.  I will get a video of that later.

Oh yeah, check out the size of the mitts on the little guy.  I'm already giving him piano lessons.

In this last video, Isabel thinks they're posing for a photo so she tells Charlie to smile and uses the pillow to wipe the drool from his mouth.
