Yoga for Everyone!

It is so interesting what the twins pick up on. Gavin has learned to do the yoga position "downward dog" from watching Evie do it (and hearing me make a big deal about it). Gavin also discovered his tummy a couple of weeks ago and will pat it if we ask him where his tummy is. He also wants to look at our tummies all the time now!

We have had to start spelling out certain words already. We spell out "cold toy" (the teething toys we keep in the freezer) because when I say it, Gavin will jump into my arms and point to the fridge excitedly. So we had better give him a cold toy!

Here's our boy in downward dog (Evie is telling him 'good job!'):


Here are the twins doing yoga together one morning:


Peek-a-Boo!


On another note, we have kept our bird feeders full this winter. (In the past we have decided to let the birds fend for themselves.) As a result we have regular visitors right outside our window. This is last Monday, after the snow:


We also have a new kind of bird that we had not seen before. We looked it up online and it called a "dark-eyed junco" aka, "snowbird," and it only visits Midwestern backyards in the winter! We think they're pretty neat!
