a few tricks

pace loves technology!  he uses the iphone and ipad better than i do.  he especially loves the photo booth thing on david's ipad.  i don't think i could count on all of our fingers and toes the number of photos he's taken.

when we ask pace to smile big, he's recently started doing this:

maybe this is why?...haha!  always look to yourself when you wonder why your kids are doing something weird...

i think max is going to be our little comic relief.  he is always up for an ear-to-ear grin, a giggle, a tickle,  and prefers to be gabbing/chatting away.  well, really he's growling , but it'll be chatting once he gets some syllables mixed in with the growls.  don't leave this kid's side for a minute or he'll turn into a wailing banshee!

max has pulled a couple of tricks out of his sleeve:

he thinks shaking his head no is the funniest thing on earth.  he has no clue what it means, it's just for his own amusement!  ready, set, go!

then he promptly follows the head shake with some clapping, as if he's congratulating himself for a trick well done!  max LOVES bedtime.  he starts clapping and giggling when i lay him down on the changing table to get his pjs on.  he wakes up at the crack of dawn (between 4-5am for the day), so i think i'd be clapping, too, if i started getting ready for bed at 545pm.  

who can resist those thighs?!
