Two Big Milestones

On December 5, 2011, little Emmeline turned 9 months old. However, Mommy neglected to take any pictures that day, so please consider the following her photos as well...


On December 6, our beautiful boy turned 3 years old. Unbelievable.
We had a birthday party at Nana's house, and we all wore Thomas party hats.


There was cake, with candles.


And Atticus blew them all out!

Then it was time for presents. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for my new train!

Thank you, Aunt Rachel, for this very cool book.

And thank you, Aunt Vicki, for my awesome car carrier/launcher!

Emmeline, meanwhile, spent some quality time getting to know Ollie.

Well, hello puppy!

A walk with Nana

On one of our first cold days, we went over to Nana's and took a nice walk outside.

We got E all bundled up--once she got over the shock she was good with it.


A insisted on wearing Nana's wool hat.


It looks OK here. A little big, but OK...


But it really was way too big. Seeing became a problem!


No matter, we had a great time!

Do you like my hairdo?

Yes, I thought you would.

Does Atticus like...

...Chinese food?

I'd say so!

How about cupcakes?

Most certainly!

Another month...

Another series of high chair photos.







Happy 8 months, my sweet baby girl!

Siblings Playing Happily Together

It doesn't always happen, but they do seem to enjoy each other's company.


Sometimes they even share.


Atticus dotes on his baby sister...


...even if he's not always as gentle as he should be!
