I must be feeding this boy something right (he had mashed roasted butternut squash yesterday) because I turned around to see this scene...Adam had ripped his toy from the kick and play. RIPPED! It was the one with a mirror, so maybe he's a little narcissistic. I have no clue how to get it back on, but he's pretty proud of himself.
There's a sense of accomplishment when ALL your children are napping at the same time. This picture was taken weeks ago and unfortunately, this was the only time it has occurred since then. At least I have this memory and the hope that one day it will repeat itself.
Here's one of the reasons the naps have been at a minimum...Adam can't stop pulling his pacifier out of his mouth. He acts shocked every time it happens, as if someone ELSE were taking away his source of comfort.
Our attempt at food storage
A two week supply is our goal. It seems we've gone heavy on breakfast and snacks. Opps, but it's where we spend our most time.
For some unknown reason I thought my second child would be just like my first. I've always been a little naive. While Shannon never finished a single box of rice cereal, Adam's finished his first box in less than 2 weeks. He's also ventured into the world of squash and carrots. He's going to be my good little eater who's willing to eat curry and tomatoes. Definitely a Gruwell.
At enrichment, my mom won a photography session with our long time friend Amber Lockhart. She was gracious enough to come over the day before Christmas Eve and patient enough to capture the best family pictures we've ever had. The fact that there is a picture with all our eyes open is a feat in and of itself. Thank you Amber for giving capturing the essence of our family.
Steve and my "cheez" face
I added the bow to see if he would look like a girl...since most people can't tell babies' genders anyways. Melanie made me feel better when she declared that he "was not a cute girl."
Aubrey's home = more craziness and more fun!
TN for Melanie = spending hours in the sewing room making 3 dozen burp clothes, diaper wipes cases, rice heating bags, Martha Stewart paper Christmas trees, fabric owls, etc.
Once we get some sleep and clean up, I'll post some more from our Christmas adventures! Oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I turned my sound machine onto thunderstorm for a little added drama and voila I was in Forks.
Ho Ho Ho
Adam's favorite pass time...chewing on his hand, but he sure was eyeing those Chick Fil A nuggets. Steve later dipped his pacifier in hot chocolate and he REALLY appreciated that. Forget the fact that he hasn't started on rice cereal yet.
Adam's slept in his crib two nights in a row...a new record.
Some daddy/daughter time. Steve feels the need to introduce Shannon to new electronic activities. The latest has been PBSkids.org. She's already a master at mario cart thanks to the wii at Best Buy.
