Zane is discovering a new level of independence these last few weeks. When Zane started cruising his Daddy noted that he might be great at mowing one day. It had something to do with how he carries his body and holds certain stances. (I think Daddy just wants to hand off the chore. ;-) When shooting the first couple of videos below, I completely got what Daddy was talking about, and indeed, I agree Zane will be great with the mower one day -- look at the leverage he gets!
I included this video of Zane since I like watching him pretend to dig in an almost empty sandbox. Yes, we have more sand -- just haven't had the chance to refill. :) He's making cars zoom all over the place -- still looking for a clever way to get video of that. It's so much fun to watch!
And from about a month or so ago, here's awesome video Daddy caught of Vanessa being mischievous. She's really enjoyed the story of Rapunzel lately. :) Good thing the girl has curly hair to hide the site of the cut. Nobody has ever noticed. The hair is going in her scrapbook. And why does Vanessa have access to really BIG scissors?! The girl is generally pretty safe and trustworthy, so she's allowed to get in certain drawers. However, although Mommy wasn't mad and even giggled when Daddy shared the story, we had to have a talk about asking before taking and why we need the help of others in cutting our hair. Glad we didn't stab an eye by accident!
Funny note: The other day at dinner Vanessa wanted to participate in the conversation but she didn't really have anything to say: "So today Daddy we went to a park. Yeah, we played and blah, blah, blah . . . ." Glad I'm passing useful things along. :)
