Playing with cousins is always fun!





The great egg hunt:

Tristan at 10 weeks

At 10 weeks, Tristan is now sleeping about 8-9 hours a night (most nights but not always). He loves to watch his brother and sister and adores it when they pay attention to him (provided they are gentle, which is not always the case). He's smiling more often, especially when you talk to him. He is most smiley in the morning when he wakes up. He is a fairly content baby, sometimes he'll take up to a 4-hour nap in his swing. There are nights when he's pretty fussy and sometimes gassy. I can't seem to figure out what causes this so we just deal with it when it happens, although I do try to stay away from spicy foods at the moment. And one more thing about Tristan: he is so darn cute (just take a look)!!! Photos taken April 9th.

pool time

Fun at the pool. Jamie is such a good swimmer, he doesn't even use a life-jacket anymore! Abby is still working on her confidence with her floater suit.

Balboa park science center

Well, the past two days have been stormy here in San Diego (shocking!), so I took the kids to the science museum at Balboa park (and apparently every other mom in the city had the same idea). Jamie and Grandpa walked around and saw most of the exhibits while I stayed with Abby in the kid zone (which is like a mini children's museum). Tristan happily slept the whole time in his stroller. It was very low light inside, but with my new lens I was able to get some decent shots without a flash!







Here you can see how windy it is...and how hard it is to get two kids to smile and look at the camera at the same time!

The way Abby (and Jamie) sees it *archived

Check out the sidebar for some funny new saying from Abby, she is quite the chatty Kathy and has been saying some hilarious stuff lately. I'll try to update more often. You can see from what she's been saying that she is becoming the safety expert of the family, which is too funny, I don't know where she gets it!


Below is an archive of previous sayings.

"No like football, only like cartoons!!"

Funniest thing this morning: Abby was in her fairy custome for school, she starts bouncing up and down and says "not working, not working!", and I said "what?", and she says "fly, not working!", and trying not to burst out laughing, I say "oh, your wings?" and she nods her yes, s...o I say "well, they are just for decoration but they are VERY pretty!", which seemed to satisfy her curiosity as to why she could not fly!

Jamie:

I showed abby how to draw no allowed something
1. you take a color and you draw something
2. then you take red and draw a circle around it
3. then you do this (signifies an x)
4. and that's how you do it

Jamie: Mommy, next time you forget something you should eat more fish.
me: Well, maybe you should eat more fish too.
Jamie: No, I'm already smarter than fish.
