After we dropped Omi and Grandpa off at the airport, Evan and I went to spend the day with Papa and Gramma. When we got there everyone was still sleeping because Evan, being the good sharer that he is, passed his cold on to both Papa and Gramma too. While we were there, Gramma showed us the snowsuit that they...

Daddy’s do silly things to make babies laugh!

As Evan continues to get bigger, he grows more and more fond of bath time. He sits up quite well in the tub and loves splashing and playing with his toys from his pal, Jayten. Tonight after his bath we had a little photo shoot of him in his adorable Pooh Bear robe. Such a little model!

Today the Cenotti’s (minus Chris) came to visit. It was a beautiful day and we were able to have lunch out on the deck, complete with Connor trying to eat leaves that Abby was gathering from the yard! All three kids were very well behaved and had a great time playing together. Plus they all napped at the same time...

In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue…or maybe not depending on what historian you listen to. Either way a Monday holiday is a good excuse to go shopping! Today Evan and I went to RI for the day. Evan stayed with Papa while Gramma and I went to lunch and shopping. A fun day for all! I'm ready to sail...

Today was my first attempt at making baby food for Evan. Until now he hasn’t had anything besides formula, rice cereal and bananas. When we saw Dr. Gonroff last week she told us we could start fruits and orange veggies so we decided to start with carrots. Plus we already had plenty of them in the fridge. As you can...

Evan has been a busy little boy the last few days. On Thursday night, the three of us went to Nicole’s for dinner. We had a wonderful dinner and a great visit with Nicole. The best part about it was that I didn’t have to cook! Oh wait, I don’t cook!! Evan was up much past his bed time but...

Today after feeding Evan his lunchtime rice cereal, we tried something new. I gave him a small piece of banana in baby safe feeder. On previous occasions I had let Evan lick my fingers after I ate a banana and had a little left on my finger. He liked it then and even more today! Check out video #1 and...
