Lunch time

Lunch has become a little more of a production now that I have two eaters. Davy has a voracious appetite (that word always reminds me of a dinosaur...) and he's pretty much eating whatever Lia's eating now. They're favorite are shell noodles in alfredo sauce. Nice and fattening. :)

Davy going in for a bite...

"Not so fast there, buster!"

Bananas!

Eating isn't just about nutrition, its a fun and interesting activity. Lia LOVES that she can ''unbutton'' fruit now, peeling clementines and bananas are special treats. :)

"My babies!"

Probably thirty times a day I hear Lia squeal those words... they range from when she finds David gnawing on her baby's foot, to when she's carrying them around lovingly.

This is Baby Bee, who was bought for Lia by GG (Great Grandma on the Lock's side) when Lia was probably only three months old. There's something about Baby Bee that Lia really loves... and I've got a pretty big soft spot in my heart too for sweet little Baby Bee.

Dancing girl

I was messing around with the settings on my camera, and I took these couple pictures of Lia "dancing" which is basically freestyle movement for her. There were twirls, rolling on the floor, stomping, laughing and gallopping.

He is also sweet :)

The billion and one faces of my sweet daughter

She is the most adorable, sweet little person ever. She just brims over with cheery goodwill (...well, most of the time anyways...)

Row three: the first three pictures are my all time favorite. So Lia. :)

Family Shoot with Terra

We have pretty much no family pictures with all of us, so I took it upon myself to remedy that. We hired Terra Tabbytosavit to photograph our family, and I am SO happy and thrilled that we did.



This is my favorite:

St Nicholas Eve

Tonight is St. Nicholas Day Eve. :) The kid's shoes are out and filled. Most of Lia's stuff is courtesy of Big Duck. I'm a BAD mom and hadn't gone out and gotten stuff (word to the wise: the Dollar Tree is spectacular for stuff like this). But I decided last minute to give her her Sylvanian Toys for tomorrow- they are these little toy animals that we used to play with when I was little... the letters are made out of cookie dough. :)



I've decided another tradition will be that I trim the tree on St. Nicholas Eve and tell the kids that St. Nicholas did it. :) Didn't I do a smashing job? :)
