bits and pieces

so lately i have been so exhausted by two sick kids and restless nights of sleep that i don't feel like i ever have the energy to articulate anything on the blog. yesterday i fell asleep at magic mountain for like 45 minutes. normally i can't even nap in a bed, let alone in a metal bistro chair. but there are things happening around here everyday, and i feel like i have to at least put them down for posterity sake:

• ryder rolls both ways now. back to stomach, stomach to back, left to right and right to left. we are thinking he will be an early crawler, but hopefully not too early.
• his hair it getting longer and lighter, and more muppet-ish all the time, especially after his bath. when it is wet in the bath, he looks like alfalfa from the little rascals.
  
• when he sleeps, which he does better all the time, he fully extends his neck, proudly displaying his miniature adam's apple.
• isaac jumps now, well he thinks he is jumping anyway. mostly he sticks his butt out and bounces up and down, never actually getting off the ground.
• he had to take a break from his swim lessons while he battles his ear infection, but will return thursday.
  
• our boys are cuter than any others, and their mother is amazing.
