10/28/14 it's almost halloween and josh is helping noah make a train costume. (or rather, josh is making a train costume and is finding ways for noah to help).

yesterday, at the park, noah was playing in the sand and another little girl came over. she stood there in the sand and looked at noah, and noah looked at her. they stood there awhile and looked at each other. then they walked toward each other and hugged. then they stopped and she walked away and noah continued to play in the sand.

aviva is crawling. she's kind of wobbly and shaky, almost quivering. but it's a little crawl-step, and another, and another. she's especially motivated to move toward shoes - mine, noah's, josh's. she likes socks a lot too.
