Wakin' up slowly

Snugglin' with dad and a good book.

Peekaboo on the Plaza with Zack and Esther

New books for bedtime

Evening walk

This is the most into food she's ever been.

Communication skills

I am pretty sure Sylvia yelled at me tonight. And bit me on purpose. She really, really wanted to go to bed. I got the message.

Caption contest

Picnic table with Grandpa

Easter egg hunt video!

Happy first Easter Sylvia!

Traveling

On our way to the farm.

Nighttime ritual, with giggles

Sylvia's version of "eating"

The time before this she did get some banana into her mouth -- and shuddered like it was the sourest thing ever!

Who's that girl in the produce aisle?

She enjoyed this so much. For about 60 seconds.

Dad comes home on a little break from work

Happiness ensues.

Welcome home, Uncle Paul

Helping Paul forget about his poison ivy.

Flowers

I told them they could pick all the violets they wanted and one tulip each. They've negotiated up to one tulip of each color. Each. Who could say no?

The right gardening tools

No big deal

Lucky number 7 months old today

And growing so fast.

"I love your dress! Can I bite it?"

Sylvia really knows how to make friends.

What booties are good for

Chewing.

Evening chuckles

Ok, a post with no pic of the baby (gasp!!)

I took a walk the other day near my office and discovered this amazing monument. Check out the engraving, it's pretty cool. Do Liz and Marian qualify as Pioneer women?

"Daddy, I will hold the coffee for you."

They were almost holding hands

But then we started videoing.

Porch sit

With the lovely Amelia, who is 11 weeks older than Sylvia.
