recent footage

not to compare my two kids but...marianne turned over from belly-to-back at 11 weeks. henry is over 3 months old and hasn't made much progress in that department. i'm not even sure when exactly the "average" age for this developmental milestone should fall but i don't think we really have any reason for concern. my theory, though, is that henry is a little chunkeroo so he has more weight to carry over than what marianne (our little lightweight) did. plus, he wears cloth diapers so i think the bulk diminishes his leverage. the other day i gave him a few minutes diaper-less to enjoy the cool breeze on his bumbi. he was laying on his back and made like he was going to turn over onto his tummy. he had a few very close moments but didn't quite manage to make it. here's a short clip, in an effort to preserve his modesty i had to edit it down to a segment at just the right angle:



my little girl turned 3 this past weekend! of course it doesn't seem possible. we had a really fun weekend (more on that later) but i just had to share this take of her after opening one of her gifts : the lorax by dr. seuss. she loves loves loves that book (can you tell?) and asks to read it about 10x a day!!!!!
