March 2009 (So Far)

Daddy and Talulah hangin' in the kitchen at Grandpa Bruce and Grandma Brenda's house!

Grandma Brenda, you're so funny!

"Normally I squirm and fuss in the sun, but look at me! I'm a happy little camper!"

Byron was turning away cause he's the only one without sunglasses. I'll have to go get hime some doggles.

See? Baby Bandz are a necessity... We need to protect Talulah's little eyeballs in this bright sun!

We got to test out Talulah's new sunglasses again, it was still pretty sunny when we took Byron for a walk!

We're ready to head out into the sunshine to go to our play group!

Talulah's such a cool little cat in her Baby Bandz.

"Here are my new sunglasses and sun hat... I'm so ready for summer to come!"

Okay, show's over...

Cute little tooth buds!

This is when they were first coming through... they're coming out fast so you can see even more of them now!

Look at my new teeth!

Forget it... getting outta here is too much work. Let's just go to sleep.

Let's get outta here!

Jack needs some sunglasses too!

Sooooooooooo, what are we doing? Just sitting in the snow?

Jack and Talulah enjoying our wonderful March weather!

It's bright out here, where are my sunglasses?

Crystal getting Jack and Talulah set up in their snow seats. We wanted to build a snowman, but it got colder and the snow wasn't sticky anymore. Next time the weather gets a bit warmer and the snow is sticky we'll get a snowman made!

Donovan, Talulah, Steve & Jack... hangin out after brunch.

Steve teaching the kids to play guitar!

Jack and his dad... jamming together.

"Watch Dad, I can do it!"

"Mmmm... I love getting kisses and chewing on my fingers!"

Later this same day we found TWO BOTTOM TEETH poking through Talulah's gums!

Reading about Cows in the Kitchen.

Reading is SO MUCH FUN!!!

"Look at how good I am at holding this book up!"

When I went in to get Talulah from her morning nap I was surprised that I didn't find Talulah... but a mermaid instead!

Talulah loves bunny ears.


Jack LOVES bunny ears!


Breakfast with Grandma Gwen!


Talulah and Jack found some birthday hats at Ikea! Luckily their birthdays are only a day apart so they can enjoy their hats together every year.


Jack was so excited about his birthday hat that he wore himself out!


Okay, seriously... Isn't Talulah's boyfriend the most handsome little man?


Yumm, Winnie-The-Pooh books are tasty!

"That book looks fun Talulah, let me read it to you!"

Talulah and I like to spend time with Crystal and Jack. As some of you may know, Jack was born the day before Talulah so it's such a treat to see them together. Sometimes they're into the same things, sometimes they're exact opposites!

When we're in the car together and one of them yelps, Crystal and I frequently find ourselves saying, "Which one was that?"

Right now Jack is REALLY good at sitting on his own! It's amazing, you can just plop him down and he'll sit like it's no big deal. Talulah on the other hand... she's not so great at sitting. When we plop her down, she prefers to topple over onto her side so she can then get up on all fours and rock. She has no interest in sitting still and Jack's perfectly content hangin' out.

Today was Talulah's last swimming lesson at the Y. We had so much fun swimming with Julie and Alexis! Alexis is two and a half months older than Talulah and she LOVES the water. She splashes and splashes and squeaks and splashes... until she's sure that everyone around her is soaking wet! Talulah likes getting splashed by Alexis and also enjoys kicking her little legs like nobody's business! We didn't get to see Julie today, but it was a nice surprise to see Aunty Ashley swimming with Alexis instead!

Now we just need to find another swimming lesson to register for. We're on a wait list at one pool, so I think we'll have to check out some other options before we're too late for anything!

At least there's always Mom & Baby Aquacize... We've got a few of those classes lined up!
