Atticus' Monkey Chair

It's one of his prized possessions. He very generously let Emmeline sit there for a bit--and holding his baby and his dog no less!

And then he joined her, and they posed for some nice sibling photographs!

Goodbye, Moppets

The year ended at daycare, and with it came my last day as a Moppet. I'm now a Toddler!

To see us off in style, the Moppet teachers had a farewell/moving-up party for us and our parents. I'm certainly going to miss my teachers, Miss Rose and Miss Lindsay.


Luckily, though, most of my friends (like Chloe here) are in my new classroom with me!

Daddy's work

I love going to visit Daddy at his job, and here's why:

I used to be afraid of the big gorilla, but now I like him!

The importance of oral hygiene

I had my 2-1/2 year dentist appointment--and she actually cleaned my teeth!


That sucky straw thing is kind of funny...


I did a great job!

Who's that handsome guy in the bucket hat?

Siblings hanging out

E in her swing, happy as a clam.


A with his juice, even happier.


And posing for a picture together!

"Baby wants some milk."

Too precious for words.

Look at those baby blues!

Yep, same as my big brother. A gift from my Daddy. :)

Happy Birthdays!

Mommy's 40th birthday was on June 18th. I helped Daddy put the candles in the cake,


and then we sang "Happy Birthday dear Mommy,"


and then I helped her blow out her candles!


10 days later, we celebrated Daddy's birthday. I helped decorate his cake!

(Can you tell??)

Here's a video of me and Mommy singing to him.

Sunny summer fun

A family outing! With Mommy holding Atticus and Kody,


And Daddy carrying Emmeline.


What fun we all had!

A trip to the park with Opa

Opa came to visit us! We went to the part and went on the swings.


Weeeee!


And we let Kody explore the river.


And Emmeline enjoyed the sun (and flowers!).


Thanks for coming to see us, Opa!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Fun at the dinner table

Emmeline likes to join her big brother for dinner.


She sits in her seat and looks around and smiles.


Atticus, for his part, enjoys his dinner...


And his sister's company!

Happy girl...

and sleepy girl.

Togetherness time

Atticus is very protective of his little sister.


Wherever she is, he wants to make sure she's OK.


Hi Mom! We're just great! (Emmeline's still not convinced...)
