From the mouths of baby smiles

Kira's big, beautiful smile says it all.  Max's big, giggling mouth has a lot to say these days, too.  On the way home from school mommy treated him to one of his favorite pastimes- going through the car wash.  The salt covered car needed a bath and since the insane cold has kept us housebound, a field trip was in order.  At some point during the trip, mommy said "Darn it!", one of her go-to child-friendly phrases.  But Max gave her the dagger eyes.  "Why you say that, mommy!"  Mommy explained that "darn it" is not a bad word, but he did not buy it.  As soon as he saw daddy, he reported, "Mommy said a bad word!"  Apparently Max is as receptive to tone as he is to language.  And he enjoys a good tattle, too.

Just can't stop comparing these two bambinos 

Max cannot keep his lips off Kira's head.  Sometimes it is because he loves her and sometimes it is a stall tactic, as shown above.  And she knows it.

After school treat de jour: the car wash
