9 Months Old

 February has been "sick" month for our little guy...a terrible cold, ear infection, bronchitis...  But, despite all of that, he amazed us by how much he smiled and how well he slept despite his sickness!  Such a trooper!

Our Valentine's Day

Waiting for Daddy

Daddy coming home from work is a big deal around here!  With the nature of Patrick's job, he can be gone anywhere from 1 night to 3 consecutive nights...the kids and I always love it when he gets home!

Addie trying to pass some time by playing the piano - This way, she can turn around and look out the front window every other second, and she is a mere few steps from the front door.

Big sister telling little brother what's about to take place...(daddy is coming home!)

Waving to daddy as he pulls in the driveway!

Bath Time

Playing together after their baths...I'm not sure how much longer Charlie will be so agreeable to playing "kitchen" and "tea party," but for now he doesn't seem to mind!

Charlie - 8 months old

January continues...

getting close to crawling...

"Charlie, let me help you crawl...this is how you do it!"

Adeline, just having finished her chores!  :-)

A Mild January

We have had a snowless, mild January.  Adeline has even been able to "scoot" about outside!

We spent last weekend up north at the cabin...so peaceful and relaxing!

hugs from big sister

First Swimming Lesson

Since Adeline was a baby, she has always loved the water and has had no reservation when it comes to lakes or pools.  We thought it would be good for her to take a few swimming lessons, so she would have a few skills to support her "no-fear" attitude when it comes to water.

Family Time

 One of Adeline's Favorite Toys:  Dora doll from Grandpa

 7.5 Months Old

 

Isn't this funny?! Adeline always wants to get in Charlie's crib with him when he gets up from his naps...

 I will never deny this obvious fact:  Our house is louder and more fun when daddy's home!
Look at these three faces...my joy!!
