Today was a bit of a rough day.  Archer and Griffin got back from Grandmommy and PaPa’s house late last night.  They had been there for three days because we didn’t have a nanny for them for the mornings.  Both boys were grumpier than usual all morning (it usually takes a day or two to get them back into our home routine) but they turned it around mid-afternoon after they got back from see the local production of Godspell Jr.  Alice and I stayed home since we didn’t think she would be able to sit through it and I think it did both of us some good.  Opportunities to play quietly together are rare and I treasure them.

Her personality is really shining through in her little smirk.  She is one of the happiest babies I have ever seem but this little lady’s little smirk gets me every time.

I might have to call the media. This is definitely the cutest thing ever.

 

 

After watching Archer unlock the gate, go through, and close it behind him, Alice figured out how to work the latch.  If she holds onto the bars and stands on her tip-toes she can push the latch just far enough up to pop it open.  She is very proud of herself and has been going back and forth and back and forth through the gate for about 20 minutes now.
