I know I've been bad...

...and I haven't posted much lately. Here are some pics from when Grandma and Grandpa were here. According to Jamie the "utter grandma and grandpa get here in a pew weeks". Less than 2 weeks now. Here are some pics from when my parents were here. I just downloaded a bunch of pics from my camera but I need time to organize and compress and upload and all that, but stay tuned for more posts!

sweet sleeping girl:

abby likes to look out the door window to see the cars go by:
little crawler:
in her crab boat, so nice to have the sun-shade for her:
with grandpa:
Jamie can swim all by himself:
he can't touch anywhere in the pool, so he's definitely swimming!
tried out the ring...
...but it didn't work out:
how 'bout like this?
look at those curls!
and ringlets!




Abby thinks it's really funny when Jamie's in her tent, but he gets a little clausterphobic if you try and zip it up on him.

Abby is crawling...finally

Hey, she's only 10 months old!



and Jamie likes to show off his crawling his skills, and be a lion!

Abby swinging

We went to Balboa park with my parents and Abby rode on the baby swing - she really liked it!








After that we walked through the Spanish Art Village and there was chalk out for people to draw with so Jamie and Grandma drew a bunch of things and Jamie layed down on the ground and Grandpa made an outline of him!






Finally, we went to the mini-train station and Jamie rode with Grandma and Grandpa. It was all fun but he had a heck of a time exiting the station thru the turnstile (he just wanted to make go round and round).

Jamie and Abby Cooking!

The kids seem to be getting bored with this apartment too (I sure am). So the other day while we were waiting for Grandma and Grandpa to get here, I got out a bunch of pots and pans and some utensils to play with. Jamie had a fun time making different things and telling me that the pan was "really, really hot" (just like I tell him). They both discovered how to bang and make a bunch of noise (yeah). Then Abby saw her reflection in the lid of one of the pans and she'd bend down really close and look at herself, and she'd try to touch her reflection with her finger - it was really cute. Here are some pics and videos:

shopping!

My mom and I went shopping at Horton Plaza on Sunday, while the guys checked out the waterfront and the maritime museum. Then we all met up at the mall for some Starbucks and then headed home on the trolley.

Starbucks makes everyone happy...




On the trolley...





Jamie's stylin' new Converse!
