nana!

my folks came over. nana's funny......
there's obviously a drooling issue, so he got a bath......

tummy time

these were my attempt to take pictures down on his level- like uncle pete does soooo well. mine, not so great- but he's still so pretty and sweet to look at, right?

toby the chef

toby decided to be a chef. so he put on 2 white shirts- cause chef wear white coats, but he doesn't have a white coat, so 2 white shirts were his substitute. and donned a lovely white paper bag as his chef hat, then proceeded to make a large batch of fruit salad. as you see, my hair is wet. he did all the dressing and fruit salad making while i was in the shower. then i came down, snapped a few pics, and helped him cut some cucumbers too- he wanted to know how chefs cut so fast. so i showed him the curled finger technique.

tiny valentine....

no explanation neccesary!

friends, romans, countrymen???

apparently this is the only picture we took of anyone in our family from 1/31 to 2/13. i have no idea what is going on in this obviously special moment in time. hmmm.

toby the photographer

how a 6 year old sees the world:

my lego's:


the rug in mom's bathroom- hey, valentine's day is just around the corner!
(i like that you can the tiniest bit of right big toe at the bottom!)


and an extreme close-up:

with a goofy crooked smile ;)

miller's first playdate!

back on january 28th, we went to visit our friends, aimee and oliver- he's only 2 weeks old here. aimee's the advanced choir director for the ccc, of which i conduct the jr. choir- so these meetings will be a regular one......

they enjoyed staring blankly in each other's direction, making random noises at each other, sitting and listening to their moms talk and plan stuff, and just hangin' out! miller even got to try out oliver's cool swing, quite the novelty to him since we don't have one. boy, what a fun playdate! we know there are many more to come for these choir pals!
