Museums and milestones

Last Sunday, we met up with former classmate Juliet and her mom at the Providence Children's Museum.

Then Summer and Madeline made a delicious apple pie together.

As is generally the case, Oliver approved of the goings on.

On Thursday, Madeline turned 33 months old!

And on Friday, Summer had a birthday too!

Madeline did a cake dance.

And Oliver, again, approved.

Yesterday morning, Oliver got a kick out of trying to walk ...

... and another kick out of lying on our guest bed while we got the room into nicer shape.

Madeline discovered a cabinet full of toys and games that she hadn't noticed before and was introduced to a chessboard.

We also dissected an owl pellet.

Today, Oliver turned 3 months old!

Now that Oliver is 3 months old, we figure it's time we belatedly share his 2-month-appointment vital stats: he weighed in at 14 lbs, 13.5 ounces, and measured 24.5 inches long.  By now, he's probably half again as big.

While Summer had business in Cambridge, Madeline, Oliver, and I went to the Harvard Museum of Natural History.

Madeline said her favorite item there was the Triceratops skull, but she would not allow herself to be photographed with it.

After we finished in the museum, we played on the grounds a bit.
