Discovering our New Normal

Lately we've been in transition to discovering our new normal.  Transitions are always hard and this one is no exception.  Baby J is fitting in quite nicely here but we have had to change our routines up a bit.  Luckily, he's a really chill baby so he mostly just lays around and stares at things.  He's very curious about his world already.

I've tried to provide L with the activities he's used to.  The other day I mixed shaving cream and food coloring and had a great time watching L paint on his easel with a new medium.
This activity resulted in more shaving cream play, one of L's all time favorites.

Today I cooked a bunch of noodles and added food coloring and oil.  We took them outside and played in the front yard with them for a while.  L had a blast.  He threw them on his hair, squished them in his toes and ended up sitting in the middle of the bin looking around the neighborhood and eating a ton of noodles haha.  He cracked me up.

Afterward we were both covered in oil so I gave L a new hairdo and snapped a quick picture.
