Here Comes Santa Claus

We saw Santa!!  Noah asked Santa for Heely's, then ran back to ask for a few other things that I couldn't hear (at least I got one covered, right?).  Julian had just woken up from a nap and was on the cranky side...he was bribed to go to Santa when a candy cane was waved at him.  He refused to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas, then he said he didn't want anything ("I want nothing" are his exact words).  Naomi didn't even make a peep.  Maybe next year will be her 'crying on Santa's lap, throwing a fit' picture.  

Nekked Babies

Here's a quick comparison of my kids, all around the same age.  So similar, but so different.  Leo and I think Naomi looks quite like Noah when he was a baby...but just the other day she made an expression that resembled Julian.  It's fun to watch how she changes from day to day - looking like the people in our family.  This is an exciting age too...lots of cooing, arms and legs waving around, recognizing faces and giving those faces smiles, glimpses of personality.  And by golly, I love every minute of it (just like I did 2 times before).

Noah - 2 months (2006)

Julian - 3 months (2009)

Naomi - 2 months (2011)

It's Summer Somewhere!!

6 years ago Leo and I were in Maui for our first anniversary and we found out we were expecting a baby.  During the trip we bought our first baby item...an itsy bitsy teeny weeny cheetah print baby bikini.  I have never been able to use it because, well, we had 2 boys in a row.  Now that Naomi is here, guess what?  It's not Summer so I still don't get to let her wear it.  But I decided that I needed a fashion show - and so do you!

This is Halloween

In this town we call home everyone hail to the pumpkin song.
