Crawling

James 8 Months
His knees are red in the photo from crawling. James started crawling while I was in Israel. He was making one forward motion before I left, but while I was gone he put it all together and is now an official rug rat.
Otto 3 years 2 Months
"Daredevil"

Another Play date with Aria

Aya, Max and Aria came for dinner tonight. It was fun watching the kids interact a little. The babies mostly just watch each other and play with an object by themselves. Otto played with his cars and told elaborate stories. He also gave Aria two gentle kisses.

Easter 2010

Otto and I painted eggs today for Easter.
Tomorrow I will take Otto to his first Easter Egg Hunt. Edmonds is hosting an egg hunt in their city park. Our goal is to find a golden egg which equals a special prize...

James' Play date with Aria

My good friend Aya and her daughter Aria came for a visit. Aria is 19 days older than James. We had a nice visit and the kids played nicely.

Sun in Seattle

James plays in the sun while I do a little yard work. Otto is napping.

Otto's First Day of Preschool

March 16, 2010
Otto's first day at the Mukilteo Academy.
He attends twice a week for 3 hours.
He cried a little when I dropped him off, but settled in quickly.

Pumping

Otto doesn't want to be left out of anything. Including pumping his boobies. It really makes him giggle.

Pajama Play

After breakfast Otto and James play in their pajamas. We've had to install a new rule for Otto. No touching James. He was just too rough and James kept getting hurt. Now Otto has to ask permission before he can touch James.

Solids

Otto loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!
After watching Bugs Bunny Otto and James do a pretty good impression, "Aw, what's up doc?"
Plums
Bagel chips
Bananas, Cheerios, Blueberries, a typical breakfast.

Two Dudes

James 6 Months
Otto 3 years

Kids Love Soccer

Otto started soccer practice in January. It's a mom/dad and tot class. He is one of the older kids there, but is really cautious around the little kids. On his first day of practice he kicked a goal through the legs of another player. Score!

At the end of practice all the kids gather together with coach Ian and do a cheer, "Kids Love Soccer." I think this is Otto's favorite part.

Me and the Kiddos

James is 6 Months Old
