Here's another 'oldie', where oldie is defined as mid-October. Zara and Amity both show off their latest playground prowess...

Also, for those of you visiting after any length hiatus, there are several new but back-dated posts. So go on, click on back through Novemeber and October. You'll be glad you did, as the kiddos are so cute!

Thanksgiving in Brooklyn

So we spent Thanksgiving (which was lovely) in Brooklyn. But the more important thing is a) how awesome is the new (Atlantic Ave) part of Brooklyn Bridge Park?!??! and b) Carroll Park's an oldie but a goodie. We also spent some time at "red" and "yellow" parks... bonus points if you can find me, Z and A all in the top picture...

Word Up!

Zara's getting a lot of mileage out of her WordGirl costume!

Upside Down Head

Fuzzy upside down baby head!

This was taken some time ago, but recently found on Wes' phone.

Table for Two?

So they're not exactly playing together, but they're getting there!

Upgrades

Back when Zara was not quite 3, she was partial to the OLPC. As she's gotten older, she's also gotten wiser. Here she's explaining to me how something's working on her latest computer of choice... my MacBook. Kid's got taste. She also is wearing the same pants.

Kitchen Helper

Amity likes to help with the dishes. Or else take a bath, fully clothed, in the dish washer. Either way, it's cute!

Happy 9 month Birthday, Amity!

Amity turned 9 months old today. She's 22lbs and 29 1/2". She's also an awesome eater, as you can see from a peek at our usual dinner time shenanigans. Happy birthday, little one!

Fly like an eagle...

It was a teacher work day, so no school. We went to Richmond. Museums are closed because it was Monday. So after the usual Costco/Trader Joe's/Sticky Rice-a-go-go, we hit Maymont. Amity was quite taken with the sheep and goats. Zara's getting pretty big, but it'll be awhile before she's got the wingspan of one of those bald eagles they have hangin' there in Raptorville.
