The Days of Our Lives...

Finger Painting

I posted all the pictures of our finger painting adventure with Lily on Facebook. Here's a video for your blog enjoyment.

The Buck Stops Here. Well, at my feet, at least...

Well, I guess there are some advantages to having a sloped driveway.

Some snippits

Daddy's post-bath hairdo

"Riding" She still can't make it go but that doesn't mean she doesn't like to sit on it!

Dancing baby, dancing baby, dancing baby.

Thanks for the Valentine's balloon Grampy!

Thanks for the pretty dress, Auntie Stephie!

Baby needs to eat too

A Valentine Poem

My Valentine in pink and red,

will wear no bows upon your head,

You will not lie still on the ground,

No decent pictures have I found.

But still my Valentine you are,

Just look at this, we've come so far!

You walk, and talk, and laugh, and play,

And I love you more and more each day.

My Maid

One-year-olds copy EVERYTHING. Apparently I sweep too much.

Valentine Giraffe #2

A Valentine balloon and giraffe,

(posted on Daddy's behalf)

She gives him a clap,

And crawls up on his lap,

For a hug and a kiss and a laugh!

Not a good discovery...

Necklaces and Big Ducky

Gramma and Pa sent a Ducky and a Necklace/bracelet for Valentines Day. Amelia, of course loved them. She paraded around with the Ducky to show him all the features of our house...the spice rack, Soxy's food dish, the pots and pans drawer, and Noah's Arc.

She also thought the bracelet would make a nice anklet...uh...webbed-footlet?

Off we go, new friend!

Thanks Gramma and Pa!

Fashionista.

"Mom, have you seen my leg?"

So cute...

...but hats never last long on this one.

Morning Play

Green Light Studio

Tristan and Amelia were getting bored at home so they decided to try out an indoor play space in Portland called Green-Light Studio. They had a blast.

We'll be back...

"Lily want an apple?"
