the bumbo thing - fun times...sort of...these are the pics before all the spit-up happens...




the faces of tummy time






weekend mornings this winter...





our weekend mornings are pretty relaxing these days. sometimes we hit the winter market on saturday mornings, but this weekend it was 1 degree most of the time and we didn't want to go outside too much. yes, i made our baby wear a hat inside the house because it felt cold and he didn't have a sweater on. i'm a weirdo. greg sits around in a fleece vest though so i'm not totally crazy - it's still cold in here even with our brand new furnace blasting. my routine for reading the Sunday NY Times has changed slightly, overall weekend mornings are just more exciting with JGBB. no pics of mags 'cause she's such a late sleeper!

Day after Christmas...







we couldn't get many smiles captured on camera out of JGBB yesterday so we took a few pics this morning...

Christmas 2010











Julian's first Christmas! It felt like our best ever. Everybody got some good gifts, but best of all we spent time together and with our great friends and we ate lots of sweets (except Julian of course, but thankfully he doesn't know what he's missing yet!) We also got to Skype with family which is so nice - it's not the same as being together, but it's better than nothin'.

JGBB loves his playmat




He sure loves his playmat, but sometimes he even surprises himself with what happens while he's down there. He kind of hates tummy time, but here's a rare glimpse of him actually enjoying it for a moment.

Lexington Visit





We had a great time visiting with Grandmother, Granddad and Uncle Brian in Lexington. It was relaxing and fun.

The Bean and Uncle Vess


Megan and Vess took me and the Bean out for ice cream and Megan took this nice picture of my huge baby and his Uncle Vess. Thanks guys!

The HUGE Belly


not a flattering picture - no makeup, dirty hair, and a double-chin, BUT this is probably the last time we'll remember to take a belly picture - this one is from 37.5 weeks - getting close! (I have to be, right? how much bigger could he get!) :)
