What a look she has on her face! Annalise LOVES to hang out in the exersaucer, though you wouldn’t know it from that serious expression. When she presses the animal noise/music buttons it startles her a bit, but the dragon is her favorite friend to hug and she gives lots of kisses to the sunshine. [...]
Annalise’s first Easter was a wonderful occasion. The weather was beautiful, the kids were in great moods and we were able to snap a few cute pics before we went to church.
The Easter Bunny brought Tommy a much-anticipated toy…the DJ character from the movie “Cars.” It plays music. It lights up. We can’t wait for the batteries to die. And here he is again a few days later:
Recently Tommy’s picked up a few not-so-nice sayings. They’re not completely awful, but not what you’d expect an almost-three-year-old to utter… “I’m going to go sit in my friggin’ Elmo chair.” Elmo is Tommy’s time-out buddy in his room. When he’s naughty, he goes to his room and sits in this special chair until Mommy [...]
Tommy wasn’t the only one who had fun with Henry! While Tommy was in school one morning, Jess and I took the kids down to Town Square for a little shopping. They rode side-by-side in our double stroller. They debated pacifiers…Henry’s is called “Nummy,” Annalise calls hers “Poppy.” And they admired each other’s snuggle blankets, [...]
Tommy’s good buddy, Henry, came from Portland for a visit last week. They had a good time playing together, though Henry was often on the defensive while Tommy tried to toughen him up a bit. (Come on, Tommy…he’s only 14-months old!) It’s hard for an almost-3-year-old and a little guy to find things to do [...]
Annalise took her first bath in the big tub March 5. She certainly enjoys splashing and kicking her legs in the water (which is why we had to move her to the big tub…she was soaking my kitchen every night!)
Tommy politely made Annalise move over on her tummy time mat. Since this was once his toy, he felt compelled to show her how to do it right. She’s now boxing at the fish like a little Mike Tyson thanks to sparring lessons from big bro.

No raw fish for this little guy just yet, but he’s very interested in soy sauce (he dipped the Del Taco quesadilla that we had smuggled in for him) and tempura ice cream. Here he poses at Osaka’s sushi bar with his pops.
Tommy models his new big boy underpants on top of his pajamas. Quite a look for him, no?
Tommy attempts the New York Times Crossword puzzle. Perhaps if we adults try it with crayons we’ll have better luck solving it?
Annalise tried rice cereal for the first time March 1. We had to coax her to open her mouth at first. She ponders the taste and texture. She goes for it! She’s now eating her cereal twice a day, often waiting with an open mouth between spoonfuls. Now she’s a pro! A short video of [...]
Annalise loves to dress up! This pretty dress was a Christmas gift from our friends Lesley and Brian.
