7 Months: Little One

My little baby sister ("Little One," as I've been cleverly calling her), is seven months old today. Where has the time gone?

And believe it or not, this is the first time in seven months that Mommy has dressed us similarly. We just so happen to have coordinating purple shirts and skinny jeans, so Mommy had a little fun playing dress up with us.

Summertime

Summer is (almost) here! As soon as we had a streak of nice weather, Mommy started packing our days with outdoor activities. 

Objects in chair may be smaller than they appear.

Tandem swinging. So efficient.

It's very, very rare that I keep my hat on.

Park bench lunches and pigtails.

"Mommy, I'm ready to go outside now!"

I insisted on carrying my new umbrella.

Sisters, sidewalk chalk, and a snack.

A little piece of shade.

The water table is fun for the whole family!

Yes, I'm watering my flowers with a Neti pot.

Homemade bubble fun.

B is For Bathtime

I usually don't like to bathe with Aiyana because she's known to be an enthusiastic kicker and a huge splasher. But now that she can sit up in the tub, and therefore doesn't splash me in the face as much, we're back to enjoying our nightly baths together.

Strawberries for Zadia

Mommy and I planted strawberries on our balcony. I watched them flower and grow, and even though I've been ready to pick them for weeks, Mommy said I had to wait until they got a little bigger and a little redder. Finally, one was ready to be harvested.

Tots in Tulle

My friend, Hana, from our old apartment building came over for some girlie fun.

Even Aiyana got into playing dress-up with us.

Halloween in May

Mommy and I were looking through old photos and came across some Halloween pictures of me in my Shirley Temple sailor dress. I said, "Mommy, remember that dress?" and I went straight to my closet to get the dress and matching hat. You may recall that my baby sister was born on Halloween, so the dress holds extra meaning for Mommy. So of course, when I asked to run around the house in it, Mommy obliged.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Great Weekend = Great Pictures

A great family weekend in Virginia led to some great pictures of some babies.

Happy cousins.

Cry babies.

Daddy calls this my gumdrop dress.

A picture with the grandchildren always seems good in theory.

Somebody call child protective services.

The diva and her DogBunny.

Seeing the world through rose colored glasses.

No idea she's about to get pierced.

Say "Treeeees!"

Notice the ears. Ignore the nose.

Three Birds, One Stone

It's hard to believe we haven't been to Virginia since Christmas. Visiting Nona, Poppy and my cousins should be enough of a reason to make the trip, but I guess we needed three reasons this time. 

#1. Ysabella Turned 2 (and she got a cool new car, that all of the kids enjoyed.)

#2. Baby Anthony's Baptism

#3. Mother's Day

And if it's mother's day, why is it the men that are all sitting around doing nothing?
