Noah reads a book

Grammy read Noah a book on her kindle.

Then she read it to him again.

Then he did this.



Then Mommy, Grammy and Grammy Sue picked their jaws up off the floor.

Also mommy resolved to do a better job watching her mouth because apparently her 2.5 yo can pick up and memorize ANYTHING.

Best. post. ever.

I know, right?

Eva at 6mo

I'm basically sharing this one because she is the best sitter and cutest baby I have ever seen. No bias, of course.

Baby's first pickle

Seriously? We're giving her a pickle?

Hmmmm... what's this?

Is it food?

No! Not food!!!

That's about when we remembered you really aren't supposed to give babies salt and switched out the pickle for a water bottle.

This will do.

Is it food?

OMG! MOMMY!!

OK, what's next?

Is it food?

Prelude to a crawl

Eva loves to be on all fours, even though she needs help to get up there. She is just starting to do the rocking that precedes crawling... I think we've got a bit of time before crazy babyproofing v.2.0 must occur.



And by writing that above statement out loud I have probably just ensured that she will learn how to crawl next week when I am in the bathroom and launch herself down the stairs. Good luck kid!

Popper toy

I dug out the popper toy, thinking Eva might get a kick out of it. She loves it, but isn't quite strong enough to push the button on top down by herself.

Luckily, she is nothing if not resourceful.



Clever girl.

Baby's first haircut

My god, it was overdue. We basically have to pull the front back at all times, otherwise she looks like she's auditioning to be the fifth Beatle.

I'm ok with pulling her hair back, because she looks great with a ponytail or a barrette, and because I just do not have the skill or patience to maintain bangs on a baby. But the baby mullet was getting to be a bit much.

So I seized a moment when Grammy Sue and Noah were distracting her to de-mulletify the baby. Now she's got a cute little bob!

Still crazy, but cute crazy instead of aging rocker crazy.

Thanks mom. Also, maybe the black onsie/pants combo isn't a great choice for me.
