Here are videos of the kids before Vivienne turned six months old.
Joseph sings “One, two, three, the devil’s after me.” He’s often disappointed that it ends with nine. This time, he’s missing eleven.
Vivienne crawls toward the camera. She’s still a few weeks from creeping at this point, but she’s on the cusp.
Joseph likes things neat, unless he’s making the mess himself. Here he’s putting away his alphabet stamps one by one.
Like every kid, Joseph enjoys dressing up. “Fashion Show” is both a description of a fun activity and a rallying call to get him to put on nice clothes.
Joseph knows a number of songs by heart. Here he’s reciting a Swiss lullaby, “I ghöre-n-e Glöggli.”
For his birthday, Joseph received a puzzle of the United States. He took to it immediately, probably because he already knew the States. Soon he was able to finish it mostly by himself.
Vivienne has started to eat solid food. Here she’s after veggies, and here she’s eating chicken.
I love “Calizona.”
He sounds so much like his first cousin once removed TL!
For those who are missing Joseph’s adorable pronunciation because you don’t know the song, here are the words to “One, Two, Three”: One, two three, the devil’s after me; four, five, six, he’s always throwing sticks; seven, eight, nine, he misses every time; Hallelujah, hallelujah, amen! Nine, eight, seven, I’m on my way to heaven; six, five, four, there’s room for many more; three, two, one, the devil’s on the run; Hallelujah, hallelujah, amen!
Sorry I can’t help with “I ghöre-n-e Glöggli.” 🙂
I ghöre-n-e Glöggli, das lütet so nätt.
Dr Tag isch vrgange, jetz gangi ins Bett.
Im Bett dueni bätte-n-und schloofe-n-i yy.
Dr lieb Gott im Himmel wird au by mer sy.
You can listen to it on youtube.
Cool! Now I can almost follow what he says. Now if only someone would transcribe Joy, who apparently also speaks a foreign language….
Faith says, “Is there another one? I really like watching those videos!” (actually, right now she’s whining that, but sometimes she asks nicely.)
Yay, Faith! I try not to be greedy, but I concur with her opinion.
