Dressed with Love by Dad

Well -- we've been up to no good around here (more on that later). But even with all of the no good there was some good. I snapped this picture over the weekend after I came home from the gym and found Timothy decked out in this outfit picked out by Dad. Mark does have a point - the colors match. But still.. it's a bit much, no?

Foreshadowing

When I, Sarah, was little I had a doll that looked like this:
(not sure why I wanted a boy doll - don't most little girls want girl dolls?)
Now, I'm somewhat grown up and I have a baby that looks like this:


When Amanda was little she had a doll that looked like this:
Now she is grown up and has a little girl that looks like this:


Who would have thought? Hopefully I will take better care of my baby than I did my doll. Amanda took very good care of her doll so I'm not too worried!


(Note - because she was a bit older Kristin missed out on these "my child" dolls, but she still has a cute little girl that looks like this:)

Happy Easter!!!

What a wonderful 1st Easter with Timothy. The weather was perfect, you couldn't wish for a better day. We went to church, played with toys from the Easter basket, enjoyed a nice Easter brunch, went for a walk with dogs and spent some quality family time together. Thanks to all of Timothy's grandparents and Aunt Amanda for the wonderful basket, bunny, books, toys, bib, candy and cards.


Chillin on the couch in his Easter threads.


"Seriously? Why would you put these things on my head?!?!?!?!?"


Checking out the new toys and books.


Play time with mom outside on a beautiful day.


Look who's got an Easter bunny on his rump.


Winston and Annie getting their baskets too.

3 Months

Sorry for the delay. Here's our big man at 3 months, such a a happy baby.

Wink Wink ;-)

We Have A ....

Thumbsucker. Over the last week or so Timothy has started sucking his thumb. What, what? If this wasn't so cute (b/c he has this itty bitty little thumb), I (Sarah) would be more upset. I'm not exactly sure how we ended up with a thumbsucker. I wasn't one nor was Mark. Sorry to call you all out, but Aunt Amanda, Aunt Kristin, and I believe grandpa (maybe finger not thumb) were big fans of this bad habit.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if this sticks. Hopefully, we can keep substituting the paci for his thumb so that down the road we will only have to wean him off the paci (which can be taken away) and not his thumb too (which is permanently attached and therefore always available and cannot be taken away).


Such a cute little thumb.


At it again!

The Long Awaited First Meeting

Timothy had to wait almost 3 months to meet his grandfather and Vovo, as they were going through airport secuity for a trip to back to Brazil when he was born. Needless to say, it was love at first sight on everyone's parts.

Houston, We Have a Problem!

You knew this was coming... went all the way through to mom's jeans.

Roadtrip - Philly

What could be better than a roadtrip to Philly for some gymnastics... well a roadtrip to Philly for some basketball, but that's another story. Timmy really enjoyed getting to meet some of his mom's friends from college and checking out the Penn campus. And yes, we stopped for cheesesteaks!!!


Yummy crepes, don't ask what spinach does for Timmy's diapers.


Nothing but love for our little guy.


Checking out Franklin Field from high above.


Loving the palestra... if only it was a Big 5 hoops matchup.

A Message from Timothy

On this lovely Sunday afternoon, Timmy wanted to tell you folks out there to ....(see below - his shirt reads "Lock Up Your Daugthers"). Special shout out to grandpa for the adorable hat. It's a winner!
