leafy fun with daddy

playing after the leaves were raked up was more fun than raking, I think...

Adrian loves, loves, loves his daddy...and loves, loves, loves to do everything his daddy does...play on the iphone, play on the computer, vacuum, and even rake leaves. I caught the two of them while Andrew was sleeping.

After daddy raked, I stomped on all the leaves!

discovering the art of play...

I don't think I will ever grow tired as a Mommy of watching my babies discover something...whether it's Andrew and his feet or Adrian and his letters (right now!)
It is such a joy to watch them smile after the accomplishment!

Merry Christmas 2009!!!

Santa Pictures

Taking Santa pictures is NOT my most favorite thing in the world...mainly because I HATE to see Adrian cry because he is scared or wants his mommy...it breaks my heart, really...
I love this top picture my mom caught of Andrew after we were done with Santa. He just looks like a picture of safety and that's exactly how a baby should feel in his mommy's arms...safe.

Adrian was clinging to Mommy after the picture below was taken...his red eyes make me weepy.

My sweet Adrian is not ready to 'love' strangers...

Christmas cheer

Adrian didn't want his picture by the tree...so I'll try later!
meanwhile, Andrew doesn't realize that Mommy is propping him up for pozes!
