Daddy's Day

Family trip to the Zoo

We went to the zoo again! This time Myles came with us, and we had so much fun! We got to spend a lot of time looking at the new baby elephant "Sam" and his momma. The sealions were also being amazing today. I'm not sure if Adelaide has any idea about what any of these animals really are, but Myles and I had fun. Of course we had to stop by and check out the Hippo's on the way out, they are Myles favorite =)




This little guy will be a year old in August. He had a rough start, but he is diong really good now and it will be fun to watch him grow. He has already gotten so much bigger than he was! I'm reading up on the other elephants as well, so hopefully one day I'll be able to tell them all apart and know their names! I'm doing that with the Orangutangues too.


And some more pictures of us together...

The girls are back in town for a trip to the Zoo

Some of our best friends, Pasha and Dani came to see us, along with their mom Callie. We love when they come to visit. We have nothing but fun with them. This was their first time meeting Adelaide. Adelaide LOVED the kids, especially Danica. We wonder if she thinks that Dani is a kid or a grown up? They did a great job at making her laugh. We had a great trip to the zoo, and I even got a membership so I hope to spend a lot of summer afternoons walking around there!

More bath fun

I went back to bathing Punkie in the sink. I like it because I can make the water all soapy and get her really clean, and then hose her down with the faucet thing. She doesn't seem to mind getting water in her face or eyes much. She doesn't like to lay back, so there is nowhere else for the water to go! Now that her hair is getting thicker it's really fun to wash it =) She loves the bath, and doesn't splash and kick as much as she used to so it's a little easier. I'm not sure what will happen once she gets too big for her little tub!

Playgroup with Jai

Remember this guy?



Well here they are now =)

Hanging out on the couch

Adelaide LOVES the cats, and Buddha really loves her back. They are really cute together. Here is a video and some pictures to show their relationship. I wonder if Adelaide knows how to tell the two cats apart?

Tremendous

Today as we were leaving the restaurant where we had lunch, I was stopped by this cute little old couple sitting side by side in a booth near us. They had to be in their eighties or ninties! The woman said...
"I just have to ask you, is this your first baby?"
"Yes" I replied with joy in my eyes, I am always excited when someone wants to talk about Adeliade
"I can tell" she said. "We have been watching you, and the love you have for that baby is tremendous"
I almost started crying. I don't know if it's because my love was acnowladged, or because I somehow was doing something to show even a perfect stranger the love that overflows out of me for my daughter. Of course I love her tremenously, she is my kid...but for someone else to point it out...that she actually noticed that....I felt proud and greatful. It seems like an obvious thing to notice with any mommy and baby, but has our culture gotten so far from the basic happieness in life that people notice such natural things like the way that I love my own baby? I hope Adeliade knows how much I love her, and Myles knows how much I love him, and if I can make it more obvious to the world as well, then I must be doing something right!

Everybody needs a Buddha for a pillow

Thank you Natalie!!!!!!

Our friend Natalie sent us a package with some very special stuff in it. Here is Adelaide in the shirt Natalie made for her. It's so perfect!! The color is darling, and the stitching is amazing. She also sent me a nursing necklace, but I forgot to take a picture of it. I'll be sure to put one up soon. Thank you Natalie for all of the special stuff, and the book too! I have begun trying to make some super porage for Adelaide. Did your kids really eat that stuff? I really hope she does!

I think this picture looks like Adelaide took it of herself =)

Happy Birthday daddio!

Hello baby!

Adelaide first tried to wave last Friday on May 22nd at the end of our playgroup. I have been working with her to get better at it...and here she is today!

Happy Birthday Jamie LOVE

My favorite time of day

I love waking up next to my Punkie girl and my cutie pie hubby. The mornings are so different now that I don't have to rush to get up and go to work. I feel like the luckiest person around, to get to wake up with my baby and start the day happy every time!
