Atticus sees what the rest of us don't

The other night we were all sitting down for a yummy pasta dinner. Out of the blue, Atticus started excitedly saying, "Bunny! Bunny!"


It took us adults quite a few minutes to grasp what he had seen immediately in the loaf of bread on the table.


Young imagination at work!

Emmeline's first smiles!

I started smiling a couple weeks ago, but I'm very elusive and don't let Mom and Dad document them on camera too often.

Thinking about it...


Getting ready...


Ta da!


PS: Check out my belly and double chins!

My first playdate

Mom's friend Nellie had her baby on April 8th. Last week we went over to welcome Clay Christian Hedegard to the world!

Wow, this guy's kind of cute, but he doesn't seem to know I exist.


Maybe if I just casually reach out and grab his hand...


Nope, that didn't work. Hey Clay, over here--look at me!

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny came and hid Easter eggs, and I found all of them and put them in my Easter basket!

Sibling play time

Atticus loves to play with his little sister!

(And this time she isn't even crying.)

And Kody the Play Mate

Ever patient.

A's first taste of Nutella...

Oh yummm!

Ready for my closeups!

Sound asleep.


Waking up.


Lost in thought.

Kody the Protector

When I have my Ocean Wonders adventure time, Kody is never far behind.


I know he and I will be great friends!

What I did instead of napping

I was very quiet, so Mom and Dad thought I had actually gotten into bed and fallen asleep. Silly them!

Instead, I somehow got my hands on the cortisone cream and managed to apply it. All over my body. And the floor.

Poor sick little boy

Poor Atticus was very sick with a nasty chest infection which caused a lot of wheezing and trouble breathing. So off we went to the doctor.

Here he is getting his first breathing treatment in the office.

And then they monitored his oxygen.

Finally they sent us home with our very own nebulizer to continue treatments, every four hours.

Atticus was a real trooper--and happily he's all better now!

Hello Piggies!

Look, I have toes! But seriously Mom, it's not that warm out yet. Cover them up!

Oh so cool!

I like wearing Daddy's sunglasses. The more pairs I put on, the cooler I look!

An almost family portrait

Some day we'll get all four of us (five if you count Kody!) in one picture together...

Bounce House!

I had my first experience with a bounce house last weekend.

I was a little hesitant at first, but once I got the hang of it I couldn't be stopped!

Somewhere new to sit!

Mom went over to her friend Nellie's house today. Nellie's waiting for her own baby to arrive. In the meantime, I helped her out by testing her bouncy seat to make sure it worked.

Based on my extensive and rigorous testing,

I'd say it works just fine!

Morning stretches

I like me a good, long stretch first thing in the morning. Ahhh, that feels good!

It does kind of look like I'm doing some sort of funky dance, though, doesn't it?

Check out my double chin...

...and my serious Buddha belly!

Two important milestones

On April 2nd, I officially turned 4 weeks old.

Then on April 5th, I celebrated my one month birthday!

(Astute observers will note that yes, Mommy forgot to take the one month picture until one month + one day. But you get the point.)

From here on we will officially be celebrating months, and no longer weeks!

Warm weather is here!

Or warmer than it's been, anyway. Last weekend we all bundled up and off to the playground we went.

I'm such a daredevil that I like swinging with my hands in the air!

So much better with two

Or at least Atticus thinks so!

"It's OK Emmeline, don't cry."

Bathtime

I know my brother loves his baths. Me, I'm not so sure. The jury's still out...
