Nap time

Lila and Noah fell asleep on the drive back from Ballard.

Eyes open

Lila's doing a very nice job of waking up to the world.
We still have no idea what color her eyes are going to be.

Scary dinosaur!

We asked Noah what he wanted to be for Halloween.

His response was an unequivocal "T-Rex"!

Cleaning up!

Noah wanted to do a bit of cleaning up before bedtime.

A very helpful impusle!

Napping!

Doris and Lila spending some very nice time together.

Haircut!

Noah was very patient, and he got to drive a car while playing with cars, so it was a good time.

Playing

Puddle!

Noah has become a recent convert to washing his hands.

He asks for the sink to be filled so he can play with his puddle.

In the photo he's filling up his bowl with his "bottle garbage truck".

Mother and daughter

Doris arrived safe and sound!

Getting ready for a road trip

We're about to go to play at a farm and Lila let us know she needed a quick snack.

Noah holding Lila

Noah really wanted to hold Lila. He's a natural.

Tree!

Noah climbed up the trunk himself, got onto the branch himself, and then jumped back down to the ground himself.

I was around two inches away, waiting with baited breath.

Shooting hoops

Noah's getting better at sinking baskets!

Lila at 4 weeks!

She's doing really well, as are we all!

Ready for any weather

I put Noah in his raincoat this morning. Opening the front door I observed aloud that it was sunny. Noah asked for his hat and sunglasses, and so was ready for anything that Seattle had to offer.

Respite

On the six block walk back to the car Noah stated, "I just want to rest for a short long minute". So we did.

Lunch

It's probably the last really pretty summer's day in Seattle and we're out for a lovely lunch.
Karen's developed a one-handed feeding technique, and it seems to work really nicely.

Sleeping like a baby cont...

The sounds that Lila makes when she's asleep.

Turn up the volume.

Playtime!

We're still having nice weather, so we can still play outside.
