Babies, Beanbag, Belly Button & Ball

I dropped in later yesterday to visit Sparty’s family.

Jen proves it can be done – carrying 2 kids at one time.

And Maya succeeds in stuffing the pacifier in the baby’s mouth all by herself.

Here are some pictures of Alo sent to me earlier this week from Akuch. He’s 8 months old now!

All in anticipation of her NEW BABY BROTHER!!! Bruce picked Maya up at 6am and Jen & Ron headed off to the hospital. We’re going to the ZOO this morning, Alo joins Maya this afternoon, and Maya has swim. Sometime during all this excitement Sparty will enter the world.

Watch out for that … !!!

I’m not sure if Alo noticed that big, uh, “thing” creeping up from behind …

One last day of Maya being an only child. Life is going to change forever in a very good way.

Three Days a Blog

I’m in a workshop this weekend, so I’m turning this post into a 3-dayer. If I’m able to post tomorrow, I will. If not, this will have to hold you over until Monday

Alo with the stuffed bunny the Easter Bunny left at our house for him.

And with his Papa at music class Tuesday.

Little Maya and Jen spent the night last night. The cabinet guys were at their house making noise & Maya needed sleep. This morning playing with the toys from under the stairs (she knows where everything is…).

20140426-080819.jpg

Today Robb & Akuch are dropping Alo off at 2. We’re going to babysit while they go to Jud’s wedding. We met Jud at Robb’s UCSD orientation lunch, so I think that makes him Robb’s oldest “college friend.” I’ll get home from my workshop around 3:30, so we’ll get to spend some fun time with Alo.

Music, Maya & Alo

Alo attended his first music lesson yesterday. This isn’t the typical music class. It’s a class where kids (babies in this case) and their moms or dads, grandparent(s) or nannies sit and sing, bang on drums and other interesting objects, to the beat of whatever song Miss April is singing. Bruce went with Akuch & Alo and took these pictures.

This is the same place where Maya has been going for her music classes. Last week, Ron went to join in.

20140423-073250.jpg
We run, jump & dance, too.

P.S. Grandma arrived safely yesterday afternoon.

Wednesday and Thursday nights, Jen & Maya spent the night due to remodel fumes at their house. Maya enjoyed her Rice Krispies in the morning.
