Brothers

As soon as I lean Christian in the corner of this chair Alex climbs up next to him and tells me to take pictures. So I do. Alex, natural ham that he is, stares at the camera and offers up a huge cheesy grin. So cheesy that I often have to tell him to try to smile more normally, please. Christian doesn't understand the whole camera thing and is usually looking at Alex with the beginnings of wee idol worship.

Except for in that second picture down there, where Christian's expression is less "My hero" and more "Dude, you're a freak." And really, can you blame him?

He might not crawl, but he's clever!

Christian has figured out how to avoid tummy-time altogether: as soon as I put him down on his stomach, he flips right over on to his back. Repeatedly.

Okay, maybe he'll crawl

In spite of pretty much zero "tummy time", Christian rolled from front-to-back yesterday for the first time. So maybe not all is lost.

April, April...

The Swiss have a saying: "April, April, macht das Wetter was es will." Basically, in April the weather does what it wants. Which explains why I woke up to a mixture of rain and snow today. Sigh.

Genius

Alex wrote his name today, all by himself. When Reto is back in the office (he's in Zurich this week and next - ugh!) I'll have him scan it and show you all. Genius, I tell you, genius.
