growing like a weed

this is what happens when i'm napping and dad's at the Y...mom makes oliver pose for pictures.

my baby brother is trying to get teeth. he chews on his fist a lot. and he doesn't fit in any of his clothes.

soon he will be able to sit up on his own!

happy birthday, nana

dad made chicken cordon bleu for nana's birthday, and i helped decorate the cake with candles.

oliver wore his first party hat, and it was a great celebration. hope you have a great year, nana!

the fabulous baker brothers

oliver keeps growing, and i can't wait to teach him about all the things i love to do, like taking swim lessons, playing george games on the computer, swinging, and running...and baking!

one thing i made with my mom the other day was cinnamon rolls. we made the dough in the bread maker and then rolled it out, rolled 'em up, and waited for the dough to rise...

it sure did take a long time, but they were yummy. this month we have made brownies, sugar cookies, cupcakes, rice crispy treats, and chocolate chip cookies, too. i love to bake!

like father, like son

dad likes to tinker and do projects...and so do i. oliver is trying to decide...

simply sweet

this is my favorite lunch...it's a mix-up snack lunch, and it is great for when you want to have a picnic in the car on your way to the park.

under the sea

the best part about my trip to the aquarium was seeing all the cool fish...

not the dolphins, though...that part was too scary.

i loved climbing through the penguin tunnel...and taking pictures with my dad's phone.

the coral and tropical fish were really pretty.

my little brother...

oliver likes to have his picture taken.

whenever he sees the camera, he smiles.
