Come back

Lucas has been getting short shrift in the photos lately, so i think i'll throw some in of him.

(The title there is also a reference to one of his new favorite phrases, "Come back! No, don't go! Wait!" This is said when he's not cooperating with nap time so we say, "well, alright, i guess you don't need to be tucked in. have a good nap." It is important when imagining him saying these things to picture them said in an overly dramatized fashion. He's completely sincere but sounds worse than a beginnning actor overstating his lines.)

Lucas, um, "helping" me clean.

In his apron from Ruthie. Thanks Ruthie!

Happy 9 months, little bird

3 seasons with Wren already.

I am so totally in love with this happy, smiley, giggly baby. She's so snuggly, playful, and expressive. Last week she officially stood on her own two feet and every day since has gotten better and better at it.

Today she was having a great time walking around the great room pushing Lucas's ride on airplay back and forth. We fully expect her to be taking her first steps sometime this month.
