Yesterday Win’s Great Aunt Barbara and First Cousin Once Removed Paul came for a quick visit (that is Rachel’s aunt and cousin). Paul and Win enjoyed some couch time together. They were in the middle of moving Paul from Holland to his new place in Grand Rapids and took some time to stop by and see the kid.
Win has developed a taste for shoes lately, particularly Jared’s leather sandals. As soon as Win sees Jared’s sandals he gets a determined look on his face and makes a beeline across the room to them. He then begins vigorously chewing on them. If Jared’s sandals are not available or visible he will usually make his way over to any other sandal or shoe that is. In order to limit this gross habit we have been trying to remember to put our shoes away in the closet where he cannot get to them. Thus begins the age old parental ritual of protecting items from children and children from items.
Win attributes his amazing biceps to his twice daily workout of 100 pushups.
Today Jared and I are celebrating our 7 year anniversary. This was a very important day in Win’s life because this is when his family began. Jared and I love each other more now than we did then. It has been a short seven years. We are excited that this year we have welcomed Win into our family.
Here’s a short video of Win chomping. He seems to have decided that the way to eat solid food is to open and close his mouth repeatedly when the spoon hits his tongue. He usually says something like bah bah bah or dah dah dah while doing this. It’s pretty fun to watch, cuz it looks like he’s pretending to chew.
