I realized my last two posts were about Drew. It's not that Owen and Samantha are boring, they're just quieter. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that.
Samantha can now walk up to six steps in a row! She's practicing more and more. She can stand up by herself, now, without grabbing on to anything.
'Mantha has been pretty crabby lately. Turns out she's getting three new teeth (I don't know why the odd number; must be she's odd herself. She takes after her mom)! All the new teeth are molars. I gave her a good tickle the other day so I could get a peek inside her mouth. Her laterals and cuspids (gotta practice using the proper names for teeth--school starts in January) show no signs of popping through, but she's got tips of molars shining bright and white toward the back of her mouth.
Owen is getting really good at baseball. Well, really good for a three year old. He has a miniature wooden bat that Aunt Ace got in Louisville a while back. I don't think it's meant to be a toy, but it's the perfect size for a kid of his stature to use for practice. We pitch a smallish Spiderman bouncy ball to him. His batting average is probably about .200; there are professionals with only slightly higher averages!
Drew and Owen are watching the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special for the billionth time since it originally aired 24 hours ago. I'm looking at the "feast" Charlie Brown and Snoopy prepare for Peppermint Patty who invited herself over for dinner. It consists of toast, popcorn, pretzels and jelly beans. Peppermint Patty complains, but I think it looks delicious. Not that I would want it for Thanksgiving dinner, but it looks pretty good for kids pretending to have a feast.
