Little of This, Little of That

We've been busy little bees these last few weeks! Here's what we have been up to!

Went to Santana Row with the Atwoods to meet the stars of Disney on Ice...this is the moment when Mini met Mini. She was excited. I think we need to plan a trip to Disneyland ASAP.

I finally got the duckie print from one of my besties, Heather, framed and hung. It's so cute, and it makes me think of Eriika when I see it. Thanks, HT!

We finally installed Beezie's Johnny Jump-Up. It hangs in the kitchen, and she jumps around while I make dinner and clean up. She loves it! My boss gave it to me, and it came with a little musical mat that goes under it. When she jumps on it, it plays different instruments. We have family dances complete with horrible dance moves. B eats it up like we're Soul Train dancers.





We took advantage of a balmy day and headed up to the Exploratorium in SF. B was excited by the all of the light installations, and spinning color wheels.


Check out my sticker--it's my first time at the museum!

Gingersnap #2 was more interested in Blakely's nose...

B also got a little walker that she loves. It has a little wheel, and some spinning letters. When she gets bored with the jump-up, we move her to the walker.





She might be a little too excited by the walker!


Her favorite thing is to have her neck nuzzled and munched on. She's quite ticklish. I took a picture of Lancer getting her good, and then hopped over to the other side to see her little laugh.

Lancer does "nature walks" with Beezie in the backyard. He takes her out and shows her the different plants, fruits, birds, etc in our yard. He's been doing this since she was born. She's always interested in the plants, and loves touching all of the different textures.

I love this picture

Thanks for the tour, Pops!

Lance's 43rd birthday was on Monday--President's Day. He had the day off, which was fun. We slept in and did family snuggling until 1:30, and then grabbed lunch before heading up the coast. It was a cool and breezy day. B stayed in the car sleeping.




After we got back, we dropped Blake off with the Grays, and then headed to Tamarine for dinner. As always, it was delicious. B was sleepy on the way over there...but judging by these pictures, she had some partying left in her system!



They used her new pop-up Peapod travel bed--I LOVE this thing! It sets up in 2 seconds, and is ready to go. It's a great investment. I've already used it 5 times!

We documented her messy milk face....

Logan ate a box

Blakely loves being in Papa's pocket. That's what we call it when we snuggle up to her, and she hangs out in our little crook.

She still loves her baths, and splashing around. She gets water all over the counter now.




And last, but certainly not least, B's latest tricks.

Lifting up her legs for us when we change her. What a helpful little gem.


Leaning forward in the swing


Holding her bottle...all by herself!

And educating other babies on the importance of protective sun gear..and looking fashionable while doing it!
