Here is the play kitchen that Piper and Fletch got for Christmas. They love it! They spent the first few weeks with it just chewing on the pieces, but now they've gotten into putting their play food into and out of the fridge, putting the pots on the burners, stirring food in the colander, etc.
Piper has also started a love affair with the
spoons from the kitchen and insists on sleeping with them some nights. I expect
her to be on Top Chef in a few years.
And here are some pics from December, when they were still recovering from chicken pox, so you can see some of the rash still on Piper's face.
In addition, Fletch took a tumble at the playground and scratched up his nose. He tripped over a railroad tie and went facedown on the pavement, making an audible smacking noise as his head hit. Thankfully, the only damage was a few small cuts to his nose, which you can see if this picture if you look closely.
And here is one of the few photos of them on their favorite chair where they aren't wrestling each other.
Last weekend, Piper and Fletch watched a few minutes of the Patriots game, while wearing their Pats jerseys. I'm continuing their education in proper New England sports. We can't wait for the big game in a few weeks.
Those are our most recent pics. Not much else new to report. On Friday, we go to have their hearing checked, just to make sure everything is okay and there are no issues contributing to their lack of speech. I'm 99.9% sure they are fine, but it's good to rule that out. (Also, I think Piper is actually saying a few words...she's definitely saying NO NO NO when she doesn't like something. Not sure if we'll consider that her first official word because if it is, Lord help me when she's a teenager.)
