Day 8 Love at First Bite
...and he's off....again
This is probablly the side of Ethan we see the most....his backside as he darts off on yet another wild adventure.
Thppppppppppppt...
Thanks for the advice mom but I think
I know how to handle one of these things....
Munch Munch Munch
Maybe those twinkies are in here?
Ethan caught in the act!! I was wondering
who got into my candy supply.
I swear on this binkie...I didn't touch any of Dad's twinkies.
Oh Yeah...smooth as my butt!!
Isabella gives her brother's beard a quick feel test.
I wonder what I'd look like with a beard
Ethan uses the cleaning mit to see what a
goatee would look like.....or perhaps he's
cleaning off some of drool...

Baby Stare Down
Like two ruthless gunslingers...the two babies size each other up.....who will get the coveted squisy thing....
Babies at Play
Here we have Ethan doing what he does best....that is
smashing his toys into the ground.  Isabella is content
to go for the golden binkey.
The baby foot rub
Don't ask me why Isabella needs a foot
rub....after all she doesn't walk anywhere.
I on the other hand do a lot of walking.
ahem ...ahem...
and what can I do for you?
Isabella gives a quick stare after Mom
disturbs her in mid-play.
Isabelle nibbles the bait
If you ever lose your child your best bet
to get them back is to go out and do
some baby trolling...take your hand and
dangle it by your side....a baby will
eventually take a nibble....
Wiggle the finger to show its still fresh
Hungry Kazak kids like their fingers
fresh...so wiggle them as they nibble in
mid troll....but don't wiggle enough to
break their grip.  Here Isabella is obviously
enjoying the taste of this fresh digit.
...Now ...reel that baby on board
wait for the child to commit itself..
At this point your thumb or other digit will be halfway down the babies throat.
Now Land Your Baby....Don't worry
D has two thumbs....I mean one, now.
Paka for Day 8
The Bunny Mural
Here's another picture of a mural in one of the staircases
of the baby house.....

Hi Everyone,

Day 8 was another fine day.  Today we learned more about the lil
Isabella and we went back again to Tsum. 

We finally figured out that everyday around 3:30pm, that Isabella gets
really tired or really bored....so how do you entertain your child...well
she seem to respond best to singing and hand clapping.  As soon as
she started up then so did we.  She seems to respond best to
In a Godda da Vida and John Denver tunes....go figure.

At Tsum we wanted to pickup a few more nicknacks (cuz we just didn't have enough before?!?!?) but D was digruntled over the vendors
lack of willingness to barter....no matter what you bring to the table all
they want to do is give you 6 bucks off.  A better technique is to pretend that you ran out of money....you do this on 1 or 2 items at a time....you'll get better results every time.... C & D
