My Menagerie

In addition to our beloved (but now neglected) cat Tommy, Jim and I have apparently acquired two new animals in the house:

A panting puppy… 

…and a roaring lion.

Rebecca now pants furiously like a overactive puppy whenever she’s excited.  If she’s in her jumperoo, she leaps up and down while panting, further looking like an eager young pup.  If she had a tail, I know it would be wagging!

And Susanna has this new hilarious noise she loves to make.  It’s a cross between a guttural growl and a raspy roar, as if she’s pretending to be a lion who’s about to devour you.  It’s especially cute because her eyes are twinkling while she does it, and you know she knows she’s adorable.

I’ve never posted a video on the blog before, but let’s see if I’m successful.  This is a short video clip of our girls showing off their animal noises.  If you listen very closely, you can hear Rebecca panting.  Susanna’s roaring will be more audible.  Here goes!
