  • Our littlest leprechaun!

    Our littlest leprechaun!

    Happy Saint Patrick’s day from Teddy!

    And the photo outakes: If Teddy could talk he’d say, ‘wait….are you going to keep taking pictures of me?! I’m not sure how I feel about that.’

    ‘Ughhhhh. I’ve decided I don’t like this!’‘Stop taking my picture lady! I HATE THIS!’Note he learned all these reactions to having his picture taken by me from his father.

    And the soundtrack for this, ‘NO CHEESE!’Let’s hope the school pics turn out better!

  • Snow day

    Snow day

    10+ inches of snow outside and lots of snuggles inside. ❤

  • Books, books & books!

    Books, books & books!

    In advance of the snow storm- and looming mandatory time at home inside- I thought it necessary to get Andrew out of house yesterday evening for a bit….frankly both our mental sanities depended on it. Andrew seems to really enjoy the library and books though his favorite part is standing on the step stools to pull more books out. But whatever- he’s happy.

    During yesterday’s jaunt to the library Andrew discovered the Thomas books and it was all over. He pulled all the Thomas books off the shelf to look at them; like a moth to a flame. Whether at home or out, there’s no escaping Thomas apparently! 

  • Playtime 

    Playtime 

    Big brother is still really into his new sibling (thank goodness!) and loves to play with Teddy….and all of his toys. Though I predict that sharing will be a problem in our future as there is a lot of ‘MINE!’ going on. ? While it’s hard to appreciate from this angle, Teddys neck is really strong! He can turn from side to side and lift his head all the way up- pretty impressive for 3 weeks! 

  • First ‘real’ bath

    First ‘real’ bath

    Yup, he’s filling out fast!

    We take cocktail hour seriously in our house! ?

  • Teddy’s first trip to Jockey Hollow

    Teddy’s first trip to Jockey Hollow

    Another 60 degree and sunny day…before  3 inches of snow tomorrow. So I took Teddy to my favorite park for a little hike. He better learn to like walks because there are a lot in his future!

    TBT: Andrew’s first trip to Jockey Hollow…

    Don’t the boys look so much alike?! 😉

  • Play date!

    Play date!

    It was nearly 60 degrees today so we decided to soak in the warm weather…especially since it’s supposed to be 30 on Saturday ?. We met Andrew’s girlfriend Abigail at the park for some playground fun, duck feeding and train spotting. Then the moms tagged along while the two enjoyed romantic cupcakes at the local French bakery. Success is measured by pulling in the garage with 2 (!) sleeping kiddos. Point for mommy!
