Recent Happenings

New photos are here - finally, right? :) It's taken me longer than usual to get some new photos up, but I guess it's that time of year where 'busy' is an understatement. The holidays are feeling really magical this year, as opposed to last year when I could barely lift my tired head out of my cereal bowl. Newborns are cute and all, but I really like the better sleep as they get older. We are quite enjoying watching our little man grow and develop a groove all his own. Here are some recent pix. Hope you enjoy!

Today he fell asleep in his high chair during one of his i-don't-want-lunch-just-feed-me-crackers moments. I heard rumors of this trend from the daycare when he was younger, but it's the first time I watched it happen myself. I was doing dishes and I noticed some 'extended blinks' and wondered if he might drift off at some point. Next thing I knew, this is what was waiting for me in our high chair. Pretty cute.


A few weeks ago my mom was here and we ventured to the park with cousin Gabriel. I thought it was cold that day (of course, it's waaay colder now), so we bundled up to go play outside. With baby in his stroller it was easy to snap a few nice shots.

I love the colors in this one, love that he's not looking at the lens:


"Mom, lemme take one of you next." - or maybe, "let me eat the camera. again."

Gabriel cheering Baba on!


Thanksgiving was really fun this year, especially as he had learned to walk just a couple of days before we broke bread my sister and brother-in-law's new house. Great house, you guys; thanks again for hosting!

The little man was all decked out in a seriously stylish outfit, complete with button-down shirt and a shiny new vest (courtesy of Great Grandma Flora - thank you!).

Here is a great moment. My mom is an artist and she always told me, "add a touch of Cadmium Red to any painting." I think a touch of red goes along way here too. And, sigh, this was my father's beret:
