Future Olympian

Well, if they decide to add an 8 mo old chair walking competition, then CJ has it in the bag.




...unless he comes across a rug.

Dress Up Fun

Fun in the Snow

Mia's got to live up this snow while she can. Who knows if she'll ever see this much snow again!

Buried & more coming

The storm started around noon on Friday and brought 6-8 inches by bedtime; respectable, but not bad. This morning, we woke up to about 16 inches and another 6-8 are predicted. Oh dear...

Mia's Update

Mia hasn't been up for photographs much, but here are some recent cute ones. She loves school and playing with her brother. Her favorite game is Dora Memory, though she not so good about letting you take your own turn and is pretty good at remembering where all the cards are.

She has become obsessed with robes. She got one for Christmas, but insists on also wearing one that Nina and Taid got CJ.

She also really enjoys watching the snow fall. She's a big fan of winter. We're not sure how to break it to her that this is a very, very unusual winter for here and she's not likely to see this much snow again until she goes to college and chooses someplace in the north.

CJ's Update

Yes, it has been a very long time since we've posted new pictures, but life has gotten a little crazy. Here are some recent pictures of our crazy little man, CJ. He's really fast at crawling, wants to stand all the time, and cruises or uses chairs and the like to push himself along standing.

Daddy was able to get a few shots of him actually sitting still.



Then, Jabber came to visit while Nina and Taid went on a trip. CJ and Jabber are very close and Jabber is very well behaved with him. CJ can even grab toys out of the dog's mouth and he doesn't even flinch!

He did protest with some whining when CJ tried to invade Jabber's personal space in his crate.

Buying New Baby Cards in Bulk

This week, we welcomed two new friends into the world. This week's set seem to go together so well, they could have been twins!

First, Charlotte Ann was born on February 2nd to our River friends Mary and Dave. Charlotte is joining an ever-growing list of children of Mommy's friends from Thousand Island Park. We hope to be able to see them this summer and have a nice little reunion!

Next, Claire Evelyn was born on February 4th to our friends Susan and Matt. Susan and Mommy went to college together and have followed each other to various cities around the country. They still live in San Francisco so we're hoping they eventually wise up and move to DC! (Though, we're not holding our breaths, sadly.) We can't wait until we get to meet Claire!!
