Spring is here---maybe, and Kjell is up to no good.

Kjell is growing and picking up new words like crazy. The last few weeks have been all about language development at our house.

These are a few photos from the last couple of weeks. Kjell is getting really full of personality. He tells jokes that keep us laughing. These ususally consist of a funny word that Kjell says at the wrong time. We laugh, and then it is the new joke of the week.

This weekend he decided he was into being wee little baby again. He wanted to carry the pacifier around--something he rarely did even when he was very little. He was giggling and laughing about being a "baby." He also got a charge out of clapping his hands up to his cheeks and looking surprised. We thought it was too cute to miss for a picture opportunity.

The photos outside were from an unseasonably balmy day. We decided to "grill out" North Carolina style and enjoy the brief respite from the rainy weather. It was lovely and Kjell and Daddy played the game where Kjell tries to bounce on Daddy hard enough to make him revisit what he had for dinner. Kjell is also very much into wearing hats, especially Daddy's hats.
