more warm days

Jack has just started wanting to pull Lyla in the wagon. Unfortunately it takes twice as long to get home...

up to no good, I'm sure...

I LOVE this pictue!

bath time

I was playing with Lyla's abundance of hair tonight in the bathtub... I think it's a good look for her! (Not sure what she's doing with her hand.....)

Enjoying the Texas "winter"

Here are some more pictures from another day at our neighborhood park last week. Jack very much wanted to push Lyla in the swing. Once I helped him figure out how to push the swing (NOT his sister out of the swing), I got a few cute pictures. In other news, Lyla had her 9 month well-visit today and was a little over 21 pounds and about 28 1/2 inches. She was not very happy about the 2 shots she received, but she's a little trooper!

A day at the park

It got up to 80 degrees last Saturday (don't worry -- Monday's high was around 34 with freezing rain) so we took the kids to the park to play and feed the ducks.

A tooth!

Lyla's first tooth poked through right after Christmas

Lyla, chewing on her crib after a nice nap. Little stinker!

Playing with presents after Christmas

Jack got several games for Christmas -- here he is getting ready to play Hi-Ho Cherry-o

Christmas morning

A few pictures of the kids Christmas morning...

Lyla can hardly wait to open presents -- it is her FIRST Christmas, afterall!

Santa brought Jack the TAG reader

...and he brought Lyla this fun toy with balls and lights and music and spinny things!

opening more presents

Gingerbread people

I made gingerbread cookies (from a box) and Jack helped me decorate them. We left a few for Santa, each ate one .... and the rest ended up in the trash. Not the best cookies I've ever made, but we had fun!
