Family Resemblance ?

We are really starting to see a resemblance between the kids. When Amelia was born, we thought she looked like Miles, and we continue to see it as Amelia is getting bigger and her face is filling out. While everyone thinks that their kids are the cutest, we are thrilled to know that ours really are. (grin)

Big Girl!!

With Amelia's growth into the forward facing Bjorn, we decided to dust off the exersaucer. She really seemed to be enjoying herself, but also concentrating really hard. Apparently, focus causes drool...


It really is amazing to see her grow up. She is 3 months already and is getting more stable every day. She is an easy little girl and we know that the incredibly hard days of infancy are behind us.

Could Have Been Worse...

We were out at our favorite restaurant on Sunday night for Mother's Day when Miles just started saying "Baby coming" "Baby coming right there". What it took us a moment to realize was that he was pointing to the heavy (but not pregnant) woman sitting a table down from us. He went on to "talk" about how the baby was in her belly and even went so far as to lift up his shirt to demonstrate where the baby was. While he pointed at her and emphatically declared that the baby was coming, at least she didn't know what was happening...

Another day at Happy Hollow

Mama and Pop-pop Reeth were down for Mother's Day to see us and we just couldn't resist taking Miles back to Happy Hollow on Monday. Miles was a bit tired from the weekend, but we managed to get several rides in along with hours on the jungle gyms and at the petting zoo. Amelia also made an appearance in the Baby Bjorn. She is getting to the stage where she wants out of the car seat to explore and learn about the world around her. As soon as she was got tired, we put her back in the car seat and she immediately went to sleep.


Miles is also growing super fast and is getting more coordinated, both physically and linguistically every day. At Happy Hollow, he mastered a rope bridge for the first time - much to everyone's delight - but no one was happier than he was.

Daddy's Baby

After the bath the other night, my 2 night owls posed for a shot. We still haven't gotten Amelia on an early bedtime yet, but last night she slept from 9:30 - 6 am so not much to complain about there!

CT Visitors

This past weekend, Daddo and Beebles came out to play. While Daddo "played with pigs" on the HP Ranch, Beebles rolled up her sleeves and dove into our hectic life. We had lots of adventures that included another trip (and gift membership) to Happy Hollow, a couple of dinners out, and a windy afternoon at the beach. Miles also got a new pair of shoes. It's amazing to think that this time last year he was wearing a 4.5 and now he is in an 8.5 - he's growing up so fast!!

It was wonderful to have my mom around and just live life next to us for a while - our lives are crazy and we don't always have time to visit over the phone so it was nice to be able to catch up in person.

Piggy Back Ride

Miles gave Amelia the first of a lifetime of piggy back rides... and Daddo was there to capture it on film. Miles still loves his little sister. Lots of playing peekaboo, kisses, and "I wanna see Mia"s. It's wonderful he is just so sweet with her!
