Determined.

When he's not on all fours, this is his usual perch.

Olivia likes to wear shirts/pants on her head while on the potty.

Last weekend, I was putting Olivia to bed, and Bill was feeding Gabe food about one foot from our window, and it just shattered. It sounded like a huge crash. We're still not sure why it broke...maybe a large bird? but it would have hit Bill and Gabe if our blinds hadn't been drawn. It was boarded up by 10pm and replaced the next morning.

Happy on the floor.

About a month ago, we took the fam to Chuck E. Cheese's. We were celebrating Olivia taking a step to become a big girl: no more pacifier! Just shy of age 3, we decided it was time. It was a great experience...clean, vacant, and very cheap.
One of his last times in the bumbo. Those thighs just can't fit anymore!

Santa Monica

2 weeks ago we spent the afternoon and evening in Santa Monica with our friends Jesse and Missy. They live a few blocks from the beach, so we spent a little time at the ocean, and then had dinner.
