matty has been loving his swim lessons. he still shrieks if a droplet of water gets near his eye in the bath, but he laughs and splashes all over the pool with miss janna banana (the best swim instructor ever). he was so proud that he could float "all by himself."
ben climbs on everything. he can almost get on matty's bed. this is his new favorite perch. he is still perfecting the disembark however, so we are sporting a few black-and-blues on the noggin.
he was not happy when jack stole his seat. this may be the first true pout from his pretty face.
and we're finally official. jack walks. after a couple of weeks on unassisted standing, and then a week or so of 2 or 3 steps, he now wobbles all around on two feet. anyone else have a 9.5 month walker? it's weird. like dancing baby from ally mcbeal weird.
and my big boy walks everywhere now. just waiting for his buggy board wheel to (finally) fall off and he is on his own! he is a snow-stomper at heart and we rarely leave home without his big snowplow. makes for good sleeping at night.
(and boston can make fun of NYC's snow clearing efforts but this was the only path, along a highway i might add, that was cleared three days post-blizzard. the roads were dry, but i had to struggle with stroller over and around huge snowpilesa and go about a mile out of my way to get matty home from school on unclear sidewalks (after walking over the charlestown bridge with traffic to get there!!). thank goodness the museum of science was on the route. a little run-around and some coca, and we were back on the road. today, i learn to drive in the snow!

WOW - 9.5 months!! That is incredible - I don't think I've ever heard of it! Phoebe has pretty much mastered crawling, and is kneeling a lot and just pulling up to stand, so I think we're still a few months away from walking. Sorry about all the snow - it was hard enough getting around with the single stroller, I can't imagine the pain of a double! Hope you get a warm spell soon and some of it melts :)
