What else can they do

Last weekend we attended a roofdeck party in the North End. Now with babies this is a scary thought but the deck was secure and we had safety harnesses on the kids that look like stuffed animal backpacks with a tail. At the party one of the guests taught Zev to do the fist bump. Once Zev learned it, he kept going back to the guy with his fist raised awaiting a recriprocal bump. It was really cute.
Orli's eye is clearing up which is great.
They both are using more words. For example over the last week they both say "up" for you to pick them up. They say ma-ma and da-da, "more", "baby". Zev kisses everybody and everything. Yester day he air kissed a prettly blonde on the train. They both can grab daddy's glasses off his face. They can sip through a straw, throw a ball, climb up on to the couch on their own. Orli can clearly say "helloooo" and they both say hi and bye. They can almost mimic anything you say. They babble to eachother when they go to bed, it is really cute because you hear all this chatter from their dark room. Their grammy and papa taught them this cute little trick: When you say "how much do I love you" they both put their arms up in the air and say "diii da" (this much).

Recently we visited some relatives and we captured this adorable picture of Orli with Uncle Stanley. Orli went right up to his chair at the table and made little grunts to be put on his lap. We did and she stayed there, it is so cute.
