Another trip to the zoo!

These are from last week. Fun fun fun!
A big and a little, sitting in the eagles nest

Moon and O on the tractor

Lovers Quarrel

Not quite as big as the bears...

A few more sweet pictures of the Lanny Manny on his mama/papa only night!
And for the record, Moon is having a great time at the hotel pool with Nanny and Papou, "wimming".

This kid makes the best faces!!!!

Lanny Sits UP!!!!
As Lan was getting ready for bed Monday night, I noticed that he seemed pretty well balanced when I was going to get his onesie on. I let go and for about 4 minutes or so, sat and leaned forward, then sat back up again. We were convinced he was going to fall over, but it never happened. He eventually started to fuss like he was getting tired. Cute baby boy!

No hands for balance!

Going for the "chocolate chicken". Max and Ruby reference. Be glad if you don't get it. Seriously.

Lanny Manny in his wild new seat from Owen!

Catching up AGAIN!
I don't know how I get so behind blogging just pictures, but it happens.
I haven't been as excited about updating lately because our camera is not taking pictures so well, since falling into the Moon's hands more often than not...
Or maybe it's just that I am very very tired ;)

Anyhow, here are the girls. They made it into the front yard and I had to chase them around to get them into the backyard.

Lanny-Manny found his feet recently!

And he is teething. He loves chewing on everything, just like a puppy. We have taken to giving him dishtowels, which seem to be a big hit with him.

Lanny and the Heat.

Not good friends. He definitely has the Irish blood!
Poor babe was red-cheeked and hot hot hot the last few days. Luckily we are cooling down again for a bit.

Lanny has a gooney breakthrough!

We always knew he was a silly guy. Such a smiler.

And sweet drooling eyebrow baby.

These are what we call "Uncle Jared eyebrows"

More drool and more eyebrows!

Lanny's first stroller ride

Moon really wanted Lanny to ride in the stroller with him. Thanks to Auntie Sarah, we have this great stroller with a cuddly newborn side and a big girl side.
He seemed fairly content, although he will probably go in the carrier as a general rule for a bit longer.

Moon was very proud of her juice. For our Mother's Day morning we walked to the "flower store" aka Portland Nursery, then to the "coffee store" aka Starbucks.

The day before, Nanny, Papou and Uncle Jared came down to visit and work on my car. Here is Lanny in the carrier with Nanny. Just one second before he was signing I Love You. There are some traces left of it. He is totally snuggled into the carrier and sleeping.

Moon took this picture of Nanny. That little girl has got such great skills!

Lanny is 3 months old!

On the 7th, our sweet little Lan turned the big 3 months. Sigh. In so many ways it's like he has been here forever and in others it seems like he was just born yesterday. I know I will be saying those things for the rest of my life, but they are so bittersweet and true! He is about 13 pounds and I have no idea how long.
It seems as though the teething has begun...notice the hand chewing? Add a few cups of drool to that and there you have our daily reality :)
Moon loves laying right next to Lan, wherever he is.

Sometimes she even just crashes and gives him a break!
This is the extra carseat in the house. Moon loves playing in it and her new "game" is playing car. I think that Owen taught it to her.

A little comparison

Lanny at 13 weeks-ish (man I love that little baby smoochy cheek skin!!!)
Moon at 6 weeks-ish

I think that they look so much alike! I wish that I had all of the Moon pictures on my computer, so that I could find better ones, but this is something.

Moon shots

She was outside, taking pictures of the road repair crew.

They were actually doing some work

But less than impressed with the cute little girl taking their pictures.

And for good measure :)

A flirty little Lanny
(notice the smudged pictures. they have something to do with little girl fingers on the lens.)

Beach Photo's, round 2

3 kids, 2 adults. Massive amounts of baggage.

Moon getting O to drink the bathwater. gross.

Sweet kids headed to the pool. Moon refuses to wear a suit (big tantrum, proclamations of horror), so she borrows Owen's trunks. Once we get down to the pool, she refuses to get in and has another wild tantrum, begging to go home and see Papa. We go back to the hotel room. Thanks for the drama Moon. My life would be incomplete with out it :)

These phones were such a hit! I think we may need a set at home.

Who is this kid? Oh, Lanny. Right. He was sleeping or in the pouch carrier the whole time. He was a trouper, made it through lots of drama happy as a clam. Here he was watching the big kids in the bath. Soon you will be able to join them sweet boy!
