Trips and Birthday's

We spent the weekend in Florida celebrating David's grandpa's 90th birthday.


Aaron is delighted with the hotel shower curtain and being able to wrap himself in it. Again, he is giggling like a mad man.


Hey mom, it was me the whole time!


Stella playing the piano with Colby. He's the grandchild of Stella's gma's sister. It think that makes them cousins? He is a sweetheart!!


The birthday boy! Aaron's middle name is Augustus after this man here. PopPop is the coolest 90 year old I've ever known.


I'm pretty sure Big Gus is pinching Little Gus on the cheek.

It was a great weekend. And really, how many 90th birthday parties does one get to attend? PopPop is a wonderful man and I'm just thrilled the babies actually get to see him. Happy Birthday!!!

Pudding!

I forgot I had a box of instant pudding in the pantry from when I was trying to up my calcium intake when I was pregnant (I am not a milk drinker). After the babies woke up from their nap I let Stella help me make it while Aaron ran around in circles...he's a funny boy.


Imitating me mixing everything up...


Licking the bowl clean.


This just melts my heart.


Pudding grin!


Pudding coma beginning...

Dad and his little man

On the back porch with Dad on a particularly warm Spring day. Note the length of Aaron's hair because now it's gone!!

Stella and kitty

The love of her life.


This is her thinking face.


And her 'i am humoring you mom now leave me alone' face. So cute...but I am biased.

Stella and the Jellyfish

Not sure if we should be worried...

Stella is more than happy to go upstairs for her naps. Even if she's not seemingly sleepy or if she's dog tired she's more than happy to have you take her up. She has a lot of babies these days - original baby (her frog), a kitty (named...kitty), a baby dressed as a lamb (no name) and a teddy bear (it's actually Aaron's - they gave it to him at the hospital when he got his MRI. Stella let him hold it...once). We put all of them in the bed with her and when we go up to get her after her nap, we usually see this.



She jams all her babies between the wall and her crib. I don't get it. Maybe she likes to look at them as she's falling asleep? Kitty never gets this treatment but I don't know if it's because kitty is her favorite or because kitty is too unwieldy to do that to. Stella continues to be a mystery.

He's special

That bump is Aaron. Under the tent. What you can't hear is his crazy giggling.

Exhausted

She refused to take a nap so when we got to Sams she was done for.

drinking

Sometimes they just like to hang out together and drink.

nekkid butts

Waiting patiently for grandma to fill the tub...

Snow!!!
