Money Fairy

It’s a lucky day – I found a wet $5 bill while out on my walk with the dogs this morning!

Yesterday with Alo, he pretty much cried the first 45 minutes straight before he fell asleep in my lap.

That nap didn’t last long, but at least he was happier when he woke up.

And later, he took another short (25 minutes) nap.

Then Maya arrived.

Waking up with Maya

Yesterday morning Maya woke up early, but we won’t talk about that… She was a sleepyhead, but happy.

While I brushed my teeth and got ready for my shower, she kept herself entertained playing in the big bathtub.

20131216-074615.jpg
When we went downstairs, she sat in the high chair and shared some breakfast snacks with her friends Ernie & Big Bird. Look closely at Big Bird’s mouth …

Then it was Ernie’s turn …

After Ernie had about all he could eat, Maya bent over and helped him out …

It was too cute! She ate all the organic “O’s” right out of his mouth!

Double Duty

First off, what a great birthday party for Bill at Pizza Nova. The staff there decorated and some of the staff who were off duty came and celebrated with him. The best part – they even brought him a whole cake!

When we got home from Bill’s party, Akuch & Alo were at the house waiting for us, and we spent the afternoon babysitting. I took him for a nice walk down to OB and had some quality time at home with him. He took a short nap in the stroller.

20131215-092535.jpg
The weather was beautiful.

20131215-092609.jpg
He was very happy in his stroller when he woke up, smiling and talking.

20131215-092448.jpg
The Double Duty began when Ron & Jen dropped Maya off for an all-nighter, and there were plenty of hugs.

Tune in tomorrow for pictures of Maya after she woke up at 1:30am … But don’t worry, she fell back asleep after about an hour and a half.

Today – HAPPY BIRTHDAY RON. Say it isn’t so that our youngest son is 35!!!

Friday with Alo

The little man was delivered awake & hungry. When his mom left, he was awake & full. Within 10 minutes after she left, he passed out in my arms (see self portrait below).

20131214-081157.jpg
And shortly thereafter, he and Santa Bear were tucked in for about a 90 minute nap.

20131214-081255.jpg
When he awoke, smiles!

20131214-081413.jpg
A little kickin’ back in the chair.

20131214-081642.jpg
… and playtime.

20131214-081725.jpg

After a while as the sun was going down and it started getting cold, I noticed Bear found the only place in the house where the sun was shining in (pay no attention to the chewed corner at the bottom of the stairs).
