Trip to the zoo!

Playing in the old van in the African section of the zoo. He'll probably drive a stick shift better than me!

What a cutie!

1st trip to the pool as a part of Christian's potty reward
She did great! No fussing at all!

Christian is a great little swimmer.

green bean face!

1st rib bone. We're teaching her to be carnivorous before she has any teeth!

Sleepy baby fell asleep in her exersaucer last night while I was loading the dishwasher.

My dad came to visit last week & took all these pictures for us. We had a good time even though I developed strep throat right before he left. Georgia still has no teeth & does not crawl. Over the last week she's started rolling on the floor to get to whatever catches her eye. The rental house fell through. Andrew has working hard as always. Christian's new obsession is Scooby-Doo movies. None of the monsters scare him. What does scare him is when Scooby eats hot peppers & flames either come out of his mouth or his pupils turn to fire. Christian has been telling us, "I don't want fire in my eyes." We assure him it's just a cartoon or that Scooby is all better now.

Conversation between Christian & my dad early one morning:
D: Come give me a hug, Christian!
C: No, you can't hold me!
D: Awww, I want to give you a hug.
C: N-O, I said no!

Talk about sass. I thought that was only supposed to be little girls. He also frequently tells me that he is the boss or that the answer is yes for whatever he wants to do after I've already said no: "But I say yes!" What a rascal.
