The Cutting Room Floor

Mommy takes more pictures than we can ever possibly post. These are some great ones that didn't make the cut recently.

Sisterly Love

People say that some day we'll be the best of friends. We're already pretty tight.

Double stroller, double trouble.

The Yin to my Yang.

I'm already teaching her everything I know.

Indoor play on a cold day.

Sleepy sisters.

Shades

It sure is bright in here!

Friends

Just a cute pic from a recent play date with our big and little friends. That's Ollie on the right, holding Aiyana's hand. And Zoe in the middle (she's a month older than me) with her baby sister, Kylie (who's six weeks younger than Aiyana.)

Family Day

Last Saturday was family day with Grandma Marcia, Nana, and Papa. Aiyana did a lot of standing.

I did a lot of napping on Daddy's lap.

Aiyana practiced her silly faces.

But also showed off her contagious smiles.

4.5 Months: Monkey See, Monkey Do

Mommy and Daddy can't believe Aiyana is 4.5 months old already. She's gotten heavier since staring solids, and like her big sister, she's small, but very (very!) mighty. She smiles at just about everyone, but she also has the loudest cry most people have ever heard, which probably makes for some very angry neighbors.

Grabbing at everything with her little squirrel fingers.

Smiling at strangers.

Looking a lot like big sis.

Aerial view.

And everything Aiyana does, "I do it, too." So here are my 23.5 month rocking chair pics.

And another example of monkey see, monkey do.

6am

It's 6am.and Mommy and Daddy are still half asleep. But not Aiyana. She's wide awake and ready for her daily dose of Sesame Street.
