A Weekend of Chocolate, Shopping, and Make-Up

Chocolate pudding is always fun!
"What you doing, Mommy?"

Looook who Daddy took for a ride in the shopping cart! And boy did she have fun!

She just loved it in there! Thankfully Lucas cannot pick her up and take her joyriding!!!

Ok, so you can baaaarely see it, but Lucas was in my make-up today. He thought his upper lip could use a bit of brown eyeliner!

Jumping Bananas!

Just how many dolls can a big brother pile on top of his sister?
Guess who's......

JUMPING!!!

Or just trying to figure out what she's wearing!

Mmm, banana. Now this is MUCH better than the jarred stuff!

Such a tiny girl in a big world. We can't put the tray on the chair yet......she'd never see over it!

Sleeping Peanut

Our BUSY boy keeps us on our toes all day, and can be a real challenge to one's patience! There is nothing sweeter than seeing him sleeping...it's one of the only times of the day he's peaceful!

Looking very cozy, with Bunny by his side. So sweet.

Mmm, carrots.

"Mommy, you've ruined my appetite now. Now I don't even want my rice cereal!!!"

Big Boots and a Blue Bath

After 10 craaaazy months, the time has come for Pat to go back to work. He is doing a gradual return, and started with 4 hours today. Lucas probably doesn't even REMEMBER his Daddy working! He was suuuure fascinated with those big boots!

Better take 'em for a test run. Bare bum and all!

These things are tricky to walk in!
...but FUN!

Maliya enjoying (err, not really noticing) the BLUE bath water tonight!

...but Lucas sure thought it was neat!

Squeaky clean and off to get ready for bed!

Play Date

We went to my friend Kathy's house yesterday for a playdate with Carter and Cohen!

Maliya all buckled in and ready to roll!
Lucas is just letting Cohen know that his sister is off limits :)

Try getting 4 kids under the age of 3 too all look at the same time!

It's impossible!

7 Months Old!!!

It's that time again! Another month has gone by.....ever so quickly! Our baby girl is 7 months old today!

...and looking as cute as always. Our teeny, tiny gal!
Remember THIS boy at 7 months?
Ha.
So serious!

And of course, the pesky big brother just can't leave her alone!

Happy girl!

The kiddies. (Aka...Trish and Pat "mini-me's") I like this picture because it shows people who always say Maliya looks JUST like Lucas....that she DOESN'T!!! In fact, we don't think she looks ANYTHING like Lucas!

Again with the pesky brother. Blowing 'raspberries'...aka spitting at her!

Her reaction? "He is RUINING my photo shoot!!!!"

"Mommy, would you GET this kid OUT of here??? It's MY special day!"
