side by side

Sisters!!!  Can you tell?? :)

check out their first smiles:

and more!

 Notably more experienced parents with Addie - no knives next to the bath. :)  And Addie was a bit bigger - had to sponge outside of the pink tub rather than in it.  She was also more awake for it!

And next - possibly a favorite of mine - just for the fact that they both struck the same pose with their first wearing of the same snuggly body-suit:

(Adelaide's photo is a bit more fuzzy.. she is by far the wiggly-er of the two!)

Magical Time of Year

Fairies, a troll, the overwhelming smell of cedar, and a bit of magic ~ at the botanic garden's Christmas Train display:

peek inside

look closely

and you'll find... where fairies secrets are kept

the magical world surrounds you

teeny tiny living space ...

... inside a hollowed log

every bit of it - made entirely from plant materials !

(except the electricity)

TROLL under the bridge!

*A silent Christmas wish*

2 months!

Happy 2 month BIRTHDAY sweet baby!!

2 month **milestones**

• *SMILES* - especially when daddy makes his funny voices or when mamma squirts milk in your eye
• massive blow outs - the best was through your double layered new outfit, through 2 blankets & sheets onto the mattress and up to your neck!! (And you were so proud!)
• bath without tears (big sister required)
• first early evening nap
• first trip to: dog park, grocery store, ride on metro, neighborhood playdate group
• whapping fists at dangling toys
• gurgles, splutters, coos and even a shriek

look at that smile!!!

lots of big sister kisses

booger!
