Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Koh: I rock! I mean, I roll. Today I rolled over onto my tummy for the first time. Grandma Jan was my witness. Mommy's nervous now 'cuz she can't leave me alone anymore. Let the fun begin!
Mommy got some advice from twins the other day about how to handle us when we start walking. When we take off in opposite directions at the same time, she's to push one of us down and then go after the other.

Wrestling match


Abraham: Since Koh weighed in this week almost 10% heavier than me, I have to outsmart him when we wrestle around at the house. The doctor said my head is bigger - even though my belly is smaller - so I know that means I'm smarter than he is, too. Check me out... look what I did to Koh on Friday after he tried to sneak up behind me.... boy was he surprised after I spun him around and PINNED HIM down hard on the sofa.... TAKE THAT CHUBBY!

Beatles Fan

Koh: Everyone tells Mommy and Daddy that they should sing to us, but they don't understand that both of them are really bad singers. Daddy's favorite is Yellow Submarine by the Beatles, I guess because our bedroom is painted yellow. Abe may like the Beatles, but I'm not so sure about them - especially when Daddy sings Rocky Raccoon.

Leader Treats


Abraham: I think we may have what it takes to be mountaineers; persistance and wisdom to know when to turnaround. We had to turn around on our first gorge hike due to the rain. So Koh and I hit it again last weekend and hiked up to Angel's Rest... and we made it to the summit. Okay, maybe it really isn't a mountain, but 1600' is the highest we've been yet. Mommy taught us about Leader Treats too. This is where all the hikers/climbers bring a treat for the leader and give it to her at the top. Since we're new at all this, Mommy gave us the treat instead and nursed us at the top. She brought her Hooter Hider so none of the other hikers would be offended. But two of her co-workers, Stephen G. and Kurt S. showed up and kept their distance so maybe they didn't like that.

Busted!


Koh: So those of you who know Daddy well, know he is very anti-TV. He claims it makes you stupid and professes to only watch two programs a year; the Superbowl and the State of the Union. He gives Mommy and Grandma a hard time whenever they watch anything and was very excited when Mommy told him about something she read that said kids under two shouldn't watch any TV at all. Last night, however, Ohio State was in the basketball championships and since he's from Ohio, he wanted to watch the game. So downstairs Daddy, Abe and me went. It was fun hanging out on the couch with him. And that TV thing was actually pretty cool. But then Mommy came down to get us for dinner and busted us. Well, busted me. I swear it was Daddy's beer.

Little Angels

Abraham: This weekend Mommy and Daddy took us into the wild for the first time. We picked a hike in the Columbia River Gorge since it is one of their favorite places to go. We did a trail called Angel's Rest - fitting since we're such little angels ourselves, don't you think? Well, we got about half way up and then had to hide out under some big trees because it started raining pretty hard. Mom and Dad were staying dry with all their gear, but we just had on cotton so worry-wart Mommy was concerned we'd get cold. Koh couldn't have cared less, he just slept in the pack in front of Dad almost the whole time.







I was having lots of fun with the raindrops hitting my face and couldn't stop smiling. The best part was Daddy let me wear his hat on the way back.
