Around the house silliness

nona's visiting right now... (cool!)

blur

She's on the go - Toddler-style! These are some of my favorite blurry shots from the last few months... call me crazy, but I find something strangely appealing about them. Maybe it's because I feel like the last year and a half has flown by in a, well, blur?

In/dependence II

These are some more pictures from the "dependence" side of independence: sportin the shades... on moms lap; giving mommy a hug; desparately wanting "up! up!" in my arms.

In/dependence

Never fear: Miss In/dependence is here! She can push her own tricycle! She can defy instructions not to climb the stairs alone! And she can enjoy a goooood cuddle. . . . sigh.

Backyard Fun

Point Reyes, Part II

Point Reyes, Part I

We were suckered into backpacking this past weekend and now I wonder why we waited so long. I had a blast, Zach had a blast, and most importantly, Molly had a blast. We went with some great co-campers, including a 4-month old baby who was just amazing. Totally cute, charming, and sweet (she was the one who suckered us into it - we figured if a 4-month old could hack it, a 16-month old could!). And the non-parent adults in the group were very accommodating to us parents and kids. All around, a great time.
