Adventures of eating and sleeping

First Tomatoes

peter - 24 July 2011

We know summer must be here since we have tomatoes ripening on our deck. Every day after school Thomas likes to eat the days tomatoes.

Hello Momma!

4 Months

Julie is 4 months already!  But we forgot the diaper picture… at least we’ve got the Brown Chair Pic!  She’s a cutie!

Big Brother Duty…

Thomas loves to help with Julie.  Running to get a diaper.  Splashing in her bathwater.  But when it comes to being pinned to the couch, he’s just not sure.

Thomas has a sister in his lap.

Outside Fun!

Thomas goes on a playdate.  Bikes in puddles… what could be better?  Then he practices some more at home with Daddy while Julie hangs out in the shade.

A bicycle date!

Looking cool!

Smile!

Just lounging around...

Look at my pretty toes!

Oops! We were supposed to take 2 month pictures right before our trip, but we forgot, so we took them when we got home. If you see a big difference between 1 and 2, but not so much between 2 and 3, then that’s why…

Baby Julie close up

Momma took these pictures a while ago to use for Julie’s birth announcement.  If I ever get around to sending an actual birth announcement, some of the pictures might look familiar.  It’s taken months to get new pictures up, so no complaining allowed!  She is almost 2 months old in these pictures.

Happy Girl!

Weeeee!

Getting dressed in my girly tights.

In my special dress.

I'm not sure what you're doing, Mom.

Yawn

Cupcake Proof

kristel

Grandpa let Thomas pick out a cupcake the night before they flew home.  Grandpa needs proof that Thomas got to have and enjoy his cupcake the next day.  Just to be clear, he did actually eat some of the cupcake, but the sprinkles were the highlight!

First, let's have a sip of water... gotta clean my palate.

I'm ready for a sprinkle ...

... and another sprinkle.

Yogurt goes with everything!
