Update

We haven't been doing much exciting, except adding Mommy's Sunday soccer games to the schedule. The kids love going to the county parks, which are really nice, and exploring. They have running trails, playgrounds, and the newest one has a pool and a fishing pond. Other than that, we've been playing inside when it's been raining, and going out when it's sunny.

Lottie enjoying the neighbor's ramp. Every kid in the neighbor hood loves it, and it's good for so many things - walking, running, riding bikes, wagons, and trucks over it.

Peek A Boo

Crinkle Nose

When Lottie is especially amused, she crinkles her nose at you. Like this.

You've Got Paws

Adam's encore presentation of his original song, "You've Got Paws."

Austin Children's Museum

Last Friday, Chris had the day off, and we headed to the Austin Children's Museum with Tonyamas, Bryan, and Claudia. Tonyamas was my maid of honor, and it's nice to live close enough to hang out and let our kids get to know each other. The first thing you see at the museum is a child's size replica of an Austin city bus. Adam, Lottie, and Bryan were already having a great time driving and playing with the intercom system.

Adam was happy to see the train!

Lottie uses the telescope with her nose.

Claudia and Lottie are not amused.

Adam does NOT want to be a bat! Austin is home to thousands of bats that live under the Congress Street Bridge.

Hauling toy cows to the ceiling using a pulley system. Most fun of the day!

Claudia and Lottie get in touch with their Mexican roots.

Adam is a Mexican cowboy drummer!

Lottie helps Daddy make tamales.

Speaking in a Whistle

Talking to Adam at the Chick-fil-A:

(Loudly) "Excuse me, please. Excuse me, please. Excuse me, please!"

"Let's try it in a whisper."

(Just as loud) "Excuse me, please. Toot, toot!"

"Not a whistle. A whisper."

"What's that?"

Leg Dancing

Lottie's new method of dancing - between Daddy's legs.

Coldplay Dancing

Adam loves Coldplay.

Whiny Whiny Juice Letters

Why I crave quiet.

Oreo Lover

We made the mistake of introducing Lottie to Oreos. The first day of Oreo eating was fun and messy.

The second day of Oreo eating was even more fun. And much more messy.

The crying when it was over.

Playing with Nani

Hey look, Nani is here. Let's pull her leg.

Maybe poke her in the eye.















Let her eat my hand.














Use her as a pillow.

All that playing makes a baby tired. And drives a dog to another room.

Doing Her Own Hair

Lottie found one of her headbands, and decided to do her own hair.
