Silas learns stuff
Silas was in a chatty mood the other day so I recorded him demonstrating some of the things he's learned this year:

Christmas
This is how Titus felt about Christmas:
"Huh?"
"You mean I get to eat this entire tube of M&M's? Yea!!!!"
We started off with Christmas Eve at my parents' house. They refurbished a rocking horse that was originally handmade by Bumpa (Matt's grandpa), and Silas gets a real kick out of sitting on it:
On Christmas morning Silas got to open his present from us, and he was ecstatic to come face to face with Bob the Tomato:
Bob now does everything with him. Silas gives him rides in Titus' baby swing, takes him to bed, brings him on the rocking horse, feeds him Cheerios -- they even watch Bob on TV together!
He also opened his present from Great- Grandma & Grandpa Rausch. He now knows letters A through I, along with M and O.
Here's Silas with his new silverware from Gramaidi (Matt's grandma):
On Christmas afternoon we had both sets of grandparents over. Silas was pretty amazed that there were TWO grandmas in the same place! And I don't think Titus ever touched the floor.
The day after Christmas we celebrated with the Jones family (see train video below) and came home with a giant basket of toys, books, CDs, and clothes from grandparents and aunts and uncles. I think Titus' shirt says it all:
"Who needs Santa, I've got grandparents!"

SNOW!
We had a rare opportunity this weekend to see snow in the Willamette Valley, so I bundled Silas up and took him out to build a snowman. He just stood there the whole time (he was not used to the boots) but he was very interested. Now he will point outside and say, "snow!"

December so far...
Wow, I haven't had much time to blog lately. Although, I can't take all the blame, since I haven't been the photographer lately. I need to pester my sister-in-law for pictures of the boys from Thanksgiving and my dad for pictures from our trip to Ohio last weekend. However, here's what I do have:
