Videos from October 5 to October 27.

Vivienne went through a phase where she wrinkled her nose in a cute way.  The wrinkling was ephemeral and unpredictable, which is why we only have imperfect videos.

More an more, the two play together.  Here we have them playing dominoes, with Joseph kissing Vivienne as a bonus.  Sometimes it’s more of a side by side: Vivienne on the sofa, and Joseph in the baby-free nook, or both on the bed at family time.  Dominoes are popular because Joseph can do addition and Vivienne can chuck them around, I think.

Here’s an example of fairly typical dinnertime behavior for Joseph.  Only the “boom-shakalaka” is unusual.

And of course, we have a variety of number-related videos.  Joseph counts by tens to 1000, writes fours on the chalkboard, writing several numbers from 4 to 11, does addition problems with dominoes, .  And when he’s not playing with numbers, the States puzzle will do, too, or a good book.

He’s also started quoting the Book of Common Prayer: here are two examples from the early evening reading, the opening (O gracious light…) and the quote from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians (“It is not ourselves that we proclaim…”).  But sometimes he refuses to perform for the camera.

Of Vivienne, we have a laughing video, one of her playing with books, and playing with a board book.
