The life and times of Jack, Owen and Ella Crossett

On to the New Material!

First we have a few cute things the boys started doing today. Jack has always done simple tasks that we ask him to (ie. Getting on his chair or bringing us something) but today he did something we didn't even know he knew what it was. I asked him to take a dirty burp cloth that I had and put it in the hamper in Owens room. Sure enough he ran into Owens room and opened the hamper and put it in. It was a task with multiple parts (the right room, the right basket, etc.) and he did it all correctly! He has also started "parking his truck" when we tell him to.
Also, when Owen and I were playing on the floor today I had my face close to his and he kept reaching out and grabbing my face. He was obviously doing it on purpose and kept doing it over and over again. He is really starting to gain motor control!
Since we are starting on a warming trend here the Jeep lost its spot in the garage so we could get out all of the outside toys. We took Owen out for his first walk and outside playtime while Jack got a chance to remember his old toys. Owen didn't seem to care but Jack was excited.
Here is Owen all bundled up to go out

we would like to see Jack park his truck. I like Owen's fuzzy blue outfit!
