Getting taller

Today I got a good measurement on Brody's growth. I've noticed lately that they can start to reach for stuff on top of the table that we have behind the couch. They stand on their tippy toes and reach as far as they can until they grab a tube of something that we don't them to have. Today Brody reached even higher. I was making their lunch, a very decedent PB&J sandwich, and had just finished cutting it up on the kitchen island. Brody was standing next to me doing his usual walk around the island exercise. When all the sudden he reached up and pulled the sandwich down to the ground (it was on a paper napkin). Both of them dove for the pieces like money had just fallen to the ground and started eating as fast as they could. I did not think he was that tall to be able to do that! I will have to be more careful now of where I set things. They are forever curious about stuff that is out of their reach.

Also, Kat & Brody may be starting their first volunteer project. Last month on one of our trips to Costco we got there a little early before the store opened. So we had to wait outside with the other people which mostly consisted of senior citizens. It was the best time we had that day. The seniors were all over K&B, they wanted to know all about them and were trying to make them laugh. Kat & Brody loved it too and totally put on a show. That got me thinking how much joy they bring to older people. So I called up a nursing home that is near our house and asked if they would mind if we all three came in and maybe we could deliver cookies. The coordinator thought that was a great idea, even after I told her they were 15 month old twins. She is going to call me back on Monday with a schedule. I sure hope it works out because I think that would bring a lot of joy to us and to them.

Lastly, Brody's rash is getting better. It's still there, but I can see it fading. But best of all, he is in a good mood again! Here is just a quick video after lunch today.
