Coffee with Francesca and Blaize and Grandmommy

For the record, no coffee was had by either the baby or the toddler
and Francesca called Gmom, gramma.

Peek a boo!

Banana bonanza with Blaize!

His first bites of banana. He LOVES it!

Such a fun game!

Blaize invites mommy to play ball

That's what I'm talking about.

Toys, toys, toys, yeah.

Super slide for a super slider!

At Garfield Park with the Gmom

Good Morning Ashland!

Fun with balloon!

Grandmommy hugs Blaize!

We took a very spontaneously planned trip to Ashland and Grandmommy met us! Daddy is doing important and stinky projects, like staining the stairs and who knows what else!

She loves to do this now

At the zoo... love this outfit!!

At home and at the Farmers market

Catching up with Francesca pictures

At Mt. Tabor Park with Adriana

Princess dress with tights and bib.

She says, no dress wet! She didn't spill anything on her dress at breakfast.

Correction: TODAY is Blaize's 6 month birthday

Mommy was confused about yesterday's date, cutting back on caffeine is
having negative cognitive consequences...

Blaize is 6 months old today!

Here he is in a little swinging video, demonstrating what a big boy he is.

Funny thing about this outfit. I bought it for Francesca's first
Halloween-- she was going to be dressed in drag. . .

Francesca likes to close her eyes sometimes on the swing

Blaize said "Dada" this morning

He didn't have his stopper in when he said it...

Blaize takes a turn in the tree swing

Not so tiny baby and the "tiny baby"

Tiny Baby

Francesca plays a game now where she pretends to be a "tiny baby." And she says, "tummy time, me!" as part of the game. Sometimes she wants to be up on the baby's changing table or sometimes held with a blanket over her while she curls up and squeezes her eyes shut like, well, a tiny baby. . . Needless to say it is cuhYEWT. This doesn't really capture it.
