My mom and I had the BEST time baking this year. It was fun and everything was soooo good! Sara enjoyed licking all of the spoons and bowls.
If anyone wants to give ideas for next year’s baking event, please do!

Yep, Lj “does” computers, and Allie is learning. Or, just hanging out.

Allie got Baby Legs early for Christmas…and she sported them nicely… I don’t know what sound a giraffe makes, but if I did, I’d tell you to imagine that sound when seeing the leggings.

I decided to make a first and do Sara’s birthday pictures, actually close to her birthday. So, this year, I’m a little early. She turns 3 on November 11th. This is part 1. More to come. Which is your favorite?

1 month…it’s gone by fast! Next to Sara, Allie still seems so, so little to me. I’m feeling great…it’s sooo nice not to be pregnant anymore! Sara is so cute how she mimics what we say to Allie, “she must be hungry”, “she must want a binki.”

It’s not always easy, but it is so much easier 2nd time around. It helps that you can reason with Sara, and that Allie sleeps so much. Oh, and hurray for swings. I literally remember with Sara being totally lost if she got off her schedule. What if she was hungry 2 hours instead of 3???

For Memorail Day, we decided to head to the beach. It was a beautiful day, ironically. It was picture perfect, and very nice to get out of the house.

This was Sara’s favorite game. And they did it over and over and over…until she got cold

And the sunset…was gorgeous…

This guy was just chewing away and it looked so funny

This weekend was forecasted to be a bit cooler (below the 90′s) so I decided to go to the zoo with Sara early Saturday morning. Early as in 9:00 early.  We just beat the crowd when we got there. I’ll explain as we go along here.

 There is a baby monkey who was showing off.  He’s pretty small but can move real fast along these ropes.

 

Just a pretty bird. 

This arangatang was pretty darn cool.  I couldn’t shoot him when he was swinging because I had my arms full with Sara, but he has the longest hair and he is SO BIG.  It really looked cool when he did it, but here he is just sitting.

 

I took these at Sydney’s shoot. 

Syndey and Sara are just learning to take each other’s hand to go somewhere. They don’t quite have it down, but it’s real cute to watch

Sara and Sydney share pretty well… Sara has her snacks as usual

Can you tell these guys like each other?

Since we have left Sara’s cooshy stroller in Seattle, she has decided to swipe Sydney’s whenever possible, seriously.  She’s even gotten possesive about it.

 

We love naked babies!
