Visitors!

This weekend we had some special visitors!! Uncle Tom came back from 'Sanfrisco' to visit and brought his girlfriend, Alba, by for a visit. Jack was kinda stand-off-ish when saying goodbye to Tom and Alba but then after they left he said something like "Uncle Tom needs his girl. She's nice."

Speed Racer

Jack loves to play dress up with Henry. Henry is more than willing to oblige. He loves these racing goggles.

This picture makes me think of that new HP ePrint commercial.

It's a beautiful thing

Cookies. All in a row.

Super.

I can now say that I have performed the Heimlich on my baby in a restaurant crowded with onlookers. Oddly, I totally kept my cool. You know how sometimes you stay calm in the moment but then later you feel all shaky? That didn't happen at all.


Why is it that something simple like being at a petting zoo can cause full "I'll make a scene if you try to pick that thing up off the floor because I'm so grossed out right now" panic attacks but my kid choking results in calm relaxed non-panicking problem-solving mommy?

Enchanted Fall

At one time, an outing with the boys was totally overwhelming. Jack wasn't able to listen and Henry's needs could be measured by the minute. Now Jack is nearly 7 months older (than when Henry was born) is a much better listener and Henry is much easier to take out and time the feeding/changing/napping. Making outings with just me and the boys actually fun!

Dinner Time

I thought Henry was done.Jack disagreed.
