a few that I missed

More pictures from the last two weeks:


What? You've never heard of a pirate-witch wearing leis and coke-bottle glasses?



Playdate with a classmate- the girls made sandwiches out of peanut butter, crackers, butter, and cheese. They insist it was "delicious."

two weeks, condensed

Hurray! I found another usb cord and can once again download pictures to our computer, and share them with you. Although, I haven't been snapping many lately.

A few updates, in no particular order:

Evyn and I "camped out." In other words, had a girls-only slumber party in the living room, with a crackling fire in the fireplace. Evyn slept in her fort (looking worse for the wear, above).


Andrew is standing! I have no pictures as proof, but he's been standing for a couple weeks now. He tries to walk, but hasn't succeeded in taking solo steps yet.




New words: hi, yes, up, and yum yum (not to be confused with the singular "yum"), which sounds like a constant stream of "um-um-um!"

New trick: crawling up the stairs (repeatedly), crawling up anything- his sister's shoulders, a pile of pillows, anything crawl-able is sure to be an Andrew magnet

New foods: homemade vegetable stew, chocolate (stolen from his sister), Fruity Pebbles (stolen from his sister), toilet paper (a favorite), bread, rice, mashed potatoes.

New habit: putting his fingers up his nose. It must be a cozy spot for his little fingers, because he does it often (sigh) and will sit for several minutes like that.
