Mommy's little helper occupied himself the whole time mommy fixed dinner!

Blaize is ready for his big match in his new tennis shoes. . .

Just hanging out with the Blaize man.

Baby Blaize shakes, rattles and rolls. . . (OK, no he's not rolling over yet, but it won't be long now!)

Napping baby in the bjorn. . .

Little Blaize watches his big sister eating and drinking milk and all the goings ons of the morning.

Wow look at that beautiful girl in front of the beautiful freshly painted bumper! (Thanks Grandmommy!)

Not so long ago, in a park not so far away. . .

Learning to Climb

Here's an earlier attempt at this little climbing escapade.

This girl can climb!

A little note about the end of this video... after her little shriek, she holds up one finger... this means "one more time." We see this a lot, especially to read a book one more time. Her current favorite is a Dora the Explorer book about a backpack and a trip to the library to return library books. Sometimes one more time means twenty more times. . .

Francesca was bummed we had to save this gigantic slide for another day.

Francesca the explorer. . .

And happy!

Life is so colorful with Francesca Margot. . .

Francesca raises the roof while drinking her milk on a Sunday morning.

Francesca contemplates a climb at the Sunnyside park play area.

Francesca relives her salad days. . .

Tell me, is this not just about the cutest little mug you ever saw?

Blaize enjoys a bit of a workout in his baby gym.
