Visitors

I have so many things to add to the blog, like a whole slew of nursery photos, pictures from Henry’s first days at home, more photos of Parker rocking his time at the hospital, and even some pictures from Henry’s first visit to the pediatrician. But! All the photos are stuck on my camera and phone because all of a sudden my laptop will not recognize these devices and let me upload them. {curse you Apple and your software updates}  So this weekend I will use Mark’s computer to hopefully get them off the camera so I can add them here!

In the meantime, here are a few more photos from last week and before, when both boys were still at the hospital.  They had lots of family come meet them when they were brand new!

Grandma and Grandpa O with Henry

Grandma N with Henry {not sure where Grandpa was?}

Grandpa O with Parker {since Henry was in the nursery and Parker was in the NICU at this point, they were never together, so everyone had to see them one at a time}

Conversations with Grandma

Last night, I was talking on the phone with my mom, who gave me a great idea for the babies:

Mom:  I was reading this website that tells how the babies are developing each week and what is happening to them inside the womb.

Amanda: Oh yeah, I've seen sites like that.  Aren't they growing fingernails this week?

M:  Yes!  And they can hear you and recognize your voice, so you should sing to them.  Then when they are born, when you sing to them they will know you and your voice.

A:  Ok, yeah.  I can sing to them.

M:  Yes, you should sing them that one song... what's it called?  What Do Foxes Say?

A:  Uh.. What Does the Fox Say?

M:  Yes!  You should sing them "What Does the Fox Say!"

A:  Ha, yes, ok.  I can sing them that.

M:  Yes!  You know, ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding


And there you have it.  My mom, Hippest Grandma on the Block, knows "What Does the Fox Say."  In fact, she "discovered it" in our family weeks ago and emailed us all to look it up.  That's what happens when you teach high school kids.  You are in with the latest Norwegian pop music sensations!
