I Hate Sleep!

Check me out! It's nap time!

Updated to add the somewhat less lovely after-nap wake-up shots:

Heading Home from Rehearsal

AJ and I have been in rehearsals for History Boys for the last two days -- although there have been brief loud screams that necessitate a hasty retreat from the room, most of the time she looks like this:

Matching Hat

Ready for Bed

Fun with Dad

Funny Faces

Mom's Eye View - Part 2: Tummy Time

Mom's Eye View

Getting Big!

Looking at Everything

AJ has now discovered that the world is full of things that can be looked at. Here she is finally noticing the cool mobile that Godmama Lara gave her!

AJ Speaks

Or rather, squeaks. I like to imagine she's telling me an elaborate story about her day.

Safe and Sound

After the Bath

Thanks for the rockin' robe, Uncle Buck!

Diaper Change Photo Series - #5

I swear, she does this same pose every time. She's like a diaper superhero.

Random Funny

P and AJ and I made a grocery store run yesterday, and on the way home, I sat in the back to prevent AJ's usual car-seat fit. P sat right in front of me doing what he always does on the way home from the grocery store -- eating a donut. For some reason, this view of P's shadow eating a shadow donut made me laugh so hard I had to take a photo. Hmm... maybe I need to get out more.


Edited to add: OK, so P has informed me no one can even SEE the shadow mouth eating the shadow donut in this photo. Feel free to re-title this entry "Stir-Crazy Mom Visions." :-)

Sweet Dreams

In which AJ expresses one of her favorite sentiments: "I don't know what I want, but I know it's not this!"

Pretty Girl

Blue Steel

Waaaait a Minute...

...there's no milk in this thing!

Monkey Feet

Getting Out of the House...

...is much easier with the Moby. Plus, it has magical power over AJ -- it puts her right to sleep!

Gala Evening

AJ made a brief but memorable appearance at Studio's annual Gala this weekend!

Parenting Question

Sometimes, when she cries, I take pictures. Is this wrong?

Diaper Change Photo Series - #3

This is the look that says: "You know that diaper you JUST finished putting on me? Well, I need a new one."

You Mean Dad Makes Milk, Too? Cool!
