Thomas and Daddy play Legos while Julie and Mommy watch!

Lots of Legos

Building a Train Station

Having lots of Fun!

Chillin' on the Couch

Hello Momma!

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

4 Month Brown Chair

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.

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!

Thomas practicing his bike.

Brother and Sister playing outside!

Picking up my feet... going a little faster!

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…

Month 2 (and a half) Brown Chair

Month 2 (and a half) ~ Julie

I'm wearing my brother's PJs... and my NiNi barrette matches! (No, I don't sleep with barrettes; My mom is just having fun!)

After we visit Pittsburgh, we head to Oregon to meet Mommy’s side of the family!  Yay!

Snuggly Baby... Happy Daddy!

Joy!

Julie and Uncle Alan!

Thomas gets attacked by the coffee table!

Some serious egg hunting... too much chocolate was consumed...

Uncle Tom is so happy to get his arms around Baby Julie!

We make a trip to Pittsburgh so Julie can meet her Dobratz relatives.

Thomas & Grandpa check out the Smart Car!

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.

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!

I’m organizing the Take a Hike for Humanity fund-raiser event again this year.  I’ll also be hiking up Mt. Monadnock on May 14.  See my pledge page.

Julie turned 1 month old so it was time for her chair picture. I can’t wait to see how she grows with the brown chair pictures and also compare Thomas and Julie at the same age.

Month 1 Brown Chair

Month 1 Diaper

Thomas turned two and a half and things have sure changed in his life… he has a new baby sister which means he is a BIG BROTHER now! He loves to help but he’s not always a fan of being helped since he has entered the “do it myself” stage. He’s a big boy learning and growing all the time.  See how Thomas has changed since he was a baby.
