This weekend Andy came down to visit.  We decided to take an outing and went up to Sandy where we caught TRAX, rode to Salt Lake, had lunch downtown and then rode the frontrunner train up to Roy and back.  Andy's sister and her kids did it a few weeks ago and we thought it sounded fun and Caleb would like it.  Caleb did like it, but got bored of sitting still (no surprise).  At one point on the frontrunner he told Andy, "I need you to sit still."  Passengers around us started laughing.  It was pretty funny.  Annika was really good and hardly fussed at all.  Caleb ate well at lunch and both of them really were good.  All of us were pretty tired and I got a headache, but the kids were really, really good.  My parents also enjoyed the time off and went to the mountains together.

Andy also brought another car load of stuff down and Caleb said, "Thank you for bringing these toys to me, Daddy."  I thought it was so cute!  Andy got some cute pictures of the kids and maybe he can post them.  I really need to buy a camera.  Maybe tomorrow.

Annika is eating food now.  She's had oatmeal, bananas, applesauce, carrots, honeydew (which she really loved!), and prunes.  Yes, poor little girl needs the prunes.  I didn't know that bananas cause constipation and fed her a ton of them.  She had such a tummy ache!!  I felt so bad!  So we've been feeding her prunes.  

Annika also loves toys.  Caleb took a while to get interested in toys.  Maybe it was that I had all my attention on Caleb so I thought it took a long time for him to be interested in toys.  Then with Annika began thinking that it would be a long time before she was interested in toys.  Whatever it was, she really likes toys.  She can sit up pretty well on her own and loves to sit on the floor surrounded by toys and play side by side with Caleb.  Andy brought her little jumper think down and she likes to jump in it as long as someone is smiling at her and telling her what a good job she's doing. :)  So much for a sitter...oh well.  She's also started doing this motor sounding thing with her lips and tongue.  I will try to get it on video.  It's so cute!

Grandma Evie sent a package of clothes and they are so cute!!  Caleb loves his kayaker shirt and has worn it twice even though it is long sleeved and Annika looks so stylish.

I think it would be fun to live by you. Hope all is going well. Your kids sound so cute!

We recently did the same thing with bananas with James. Poor kid, I guess I missed that learning experince with my first kid.
