Good Morning Merry Sunshine

Milo: From the archives

51 weeks ago... Milo at the Sip n Ship

Here Comes The Sun

Finally! Seattle delivers a GORGEOUS weekend day. We went to our new favorite park at Matthews Beach to play.

The boys enjoyed rocking on this big-boy plane. Until Levi tried to throw himself overboard.

The baby version of the Indiana Jones bridge was a big hit. They cruised back and forth for 20 minutes. And Levi discovered how delicious the metal chains are. Yum!

Sweater Models Part Deux

These are so good I had to share the rest of them. Even though they are watermarked you'll enjoy them! if you want to order them you can get them here

Picture Perfect

Levi rockin the hizzy at Gymboree.
Boys + bath + bubbles = fascinating.

And still another photo of Levi in some kind of basket. This time he is in their hamper.

Maybe Milo Will Be A Dentist.

Thanks for sending your photos, Gramma Carol!

Bathtime is funtime!

All photo credits go to Auntie E. :)

One For The Road

Our wonderful Nanny, Naomi, left us this week to go become a mother herself. Today was her last day and we wanted to commemorate it with a little photo session.

We'll miss you Naomi!

Bye Bye Auntie E!

Auntie E and Milo had a special sushi date after his doctor appointment today and before her plane took her back to Los Angeles.

We miss you already... come back soon. Move here!

We love you.

Back in Bath

Sometimes a boy has got to have a bath. And when that boy looks like this a Mommy has to take a photo. And when a photo is this cute the photo has got to get published on the blog.

Forgive me, Mishy.

More Boys in Boxes

Dave sent me some lovely flowers for my birthday (I KNOW!) and the box they came in is a hit in the house.

A Little Perspective: Bouncy Seat Edition

This was taken not long after the boys came home. they might have been one week old. They are sitting by the window in this photo so Milo could get a little sun to help his jaundice go away. Anyhow, the boys used to spend a lot of time in these... they had acid reflux and could not sleep in their crib since it was flat. The angle of the bouncy seat was one of the only things that helped them.

Elizabeth took this one of Milo when she was visiting during her on her birthday (May) 08.

And I took this yesterday... the boys' bouncy seats are leaving the house and I put Milo in it to say goodbye. He absolutely manhandled it - practically got up and scooted away with the seat on his back like a hermit crab. The blur is his hands waving.

The Aquarium!

We visited the aquarium this weekend with Gramma Ellin and Grampa Michael. The guys loved the visit, especially this wall of fish!

Gramps Makes Milo Laugh

Please enjoy this video from Gramps' visit last month.

So, This Is What The Big Deal Was All About?

It was a big day! We got the guys in their BeBe Pods, whipped out every camera in the neighborhood and made the rice cereal.

Well, the guys didn't exactly love their first taste of solid food. Milo had some fun smearing it all over this face.

Levi somehow managed to spit out two times more food than we put in his mouth. Miraculous!

Have a look at some great "Why are you feeding me this stuff?" faces here http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/baby-food-face.htm

We'll try again today... maybe we'll add some fruit to it. What has worked for you all?

Gramma Carol and Grampa Lenny visit

Last night Gramma and Grampa Lenny arrived via Amtrak from Portland. We wasted almost no time taking a photo session of the four for the blog. Even though it threatened rain and pterodactyl sized flies were buzzing our heads.

They had just woken up from their naps as we took these photos so they are a teensy weensy bit drowsy and out of it. See?

Sacks Appeal

The boys love to sleep swaddled in their Miracle Blankets. But since they are such big healthy boys they are busting out of them lately Hulk-style. Once they've busted out they get cold and it isn't safe to have them scooting all around their cribs with loose swaddle blankets trailing behind them (I'm looking at you, Levi). So tonight we put Milo down to sleep in his SleepSack. It is a wearable blanket that keeps them nice and safe during the night. He looks so adorable that we had to share.

Tomorrow we'll try to have Levi sleep in his sleepsack as well, since we keep finding him in his crib on his tummy unswaddled with his face jammed up against the walls of the crib like a tiny, handsome, drunk prisoner (usually there is a tiny pool of drool as well).

Yawn Yawn

After a few hours of the photo shoot with Bllen Drake the guys got soooooper tired (YOU try being this cute all the time!). Bellen was fast on the shutter and snapped this gem.

Milo and Levi Take a Bath

Twin brothers bathe. Crying (and cleaning) ensues.

Their First (non-family) Visit!

The beautiful and talented Alecia Craft, who threw us our beautiful baby shower with the beautiful and talented BFF Caitlin Angeloff was the first non-family visitor the boys got. We commemorated the occasion with this photo.

The Boys Come Home
