Around the house

Fisher is definitely Hayes' brother!  He LOVES balls, just like Hayes did as a baby and still does!  He crawls around holding balls, rolls them, and even throws them (something I was hoping Hayes wouldn't teach him for several more months).  Here he is playing ball in the ottoman:
 Fisher also loves to climb up on things, liking the vantage point it gives him:
 Anna brought a really neat gift for Hayes when she came to visit---a butterfly kit!  We sent off for the larva, which came in the mail.  We watched them crawl around their jar, then form their chrysalids.  We then transferred them to the netted basket and watched them hatch into beautiful butterflies!  Here is Hayes setting them free:
 Hayes has begun to really talk on the phone, listening, responding, and telling stories.  He LOVES talking to his grandparents!

 Fisher is into more and more---the pantry, the drawers, and the cabinets---look out tupperware organization!!!
 Hayes got a new backpack for our upcoming airplane trip---he was so excited!!!
 Fisher has learned to respond to the question, "Fisher, how big are you?" with his arms outstretched to answer, "SOOOOO BIG!!!" 
 I cut Fisher's hair for the first time (and kept a few locks for his baby book).  He all the sudden looks older to us, which is wonderfully sad!
 Fisher has learned to climb the stairs.  In fact, if you don't let him get down and crawl up himself, then he gets really pissed!
 Monster face!!!!
 Fisher has even started walking behind his push toy!
