Joanna lost a second tooth on November 13th and one of the top ones is very loose.  She cannot currently eat whole apples.  Bummer.  :)

The same day (I think? Or close) that I took the babies’ 13 month pics, we played out in the cul-du-sac.  The girls are in front of the neighbor’s house here.

James can often be found in this dress up ensemble.  I call it Super Cowboy Tiger.

And I loooooooove it.

For the record, the tiger is an size 18 month costume.  Here he is wearing it at 18 months.  :)

He likes riding with the bros. I’m glad Joanna likes pushing them around.  :)

Natalie was just sitting there, contemplating the leaves.

She’s so pretty.

When we came back in, James caught sight of himself in the pot on the counter (pardon all the dirty dishes), and he just got the biggest thrill out of looking at his reflection.  He was so tickled!

After I had taken pictures of the babies at the park, James told me he was ready for me to take a picture of him.

The other day I gave the boys a rice cracker as a quick snack, and I let them eat on the floor.  I looked up to see Thomas reach over, grab the rest of Michael’s snack out of his hands, and shove it in his own mouth.

Then he looked like this.  So if I hadn’t seen it happen, I wouldn’t have believed he could do such a thing.  :)

I think I’ll stick to making them sit in their chairs with their own, separate trays at snack time.
