Ilyas finally started drinking out of a regular cup. He had been using a straw with a regular cup, but got into the disgusting habit of sticking one hand into the cup while sipping. Yuck. So I took away the straw and voila! It took a day or so with some spills, but now drinks perfectly out of a regular cup, holding it with both hands.
The other day we were looking at some photos on the computer, and I was so happy because when Ilyas saw Aunt Ilene's picture he said "Aunt Ilene!" And then he said "Grandma Hazel!" since he saw that the picture was taken at Grandma's house. Hopefully next time we're in New York he will be happy and calm when we see them.
Idris started climbing up onto these low shelves in the living room. He's also doing a bit of cruising along the couch. He loves being mobile and doesn't want to stay still even for a few seconds to have his diaper changed.
Last Friday we had some new friends over. Ilyas and the 2.5 year old girl had a great time playing together. He was so happy and engaged and talkative. He said "I gonna catch you, Miriam!" and "Miriam, go in the tunnel!" I just loved watching them play together.
Ajiniyaz and a friend took the boys for a walk one evening. They stopped at Illy's favorite ice cream place for a treat. After Ilyas ate his cone, Ajiniyaz went to pay while his friend put on Idris' hat. When they went to leave they saw that Ilyas had a brand new ice cream cone, apparently a gift from a mysterious benefactor!
Ilyas is in love with vegetables, specifically zucchini and mushrooms. He often wakes up asking for vegetables, and continues to ask for them throughout the day. I feel pretty lucky to have a kid who loves vegetables so much.
