Nom, Nom, Nom

This girl's nickname is Miss Piggy! She will eat anything and can really shovel it in! She gets upset if the food doesn't come fast enough and tries to grab anything she can get her hands on which most of the time includes mom and dad's plates/food. She's also started trying to feed the person sitting next to her, holding out her grubby little hand w/ whatever piece of food she's been eating. These pictures are a little older but they capture her BIG appetite!

Chowing on a cracker. She didn't last long in the Bumbo seat. She kept leaning so far over and would use her feet to move it along the table.

Carsen always wants a cracker too.

Picnic in the Park

2 posts in one day! My readers are lucky tonight! I have so many blog posts and the kids are growing so fast that I need to be quick about posting. Of course, my routine is so unpredictable these days I never know when I will have time to write.

On an unseasonably warm February Sunday, we packed up our picnic basket and headed to the park. Carsen needed to run off some energy (hoping to guarantee a nap later) and it seemed like a fun family outing.




Miss Busy Body

These pictures were taken a few months ago but her activity has not changed. She is just as grabby and curious as ever. She's better at picking things up no matter how big they are although when eating, she often picks up a handful of pasta, eggs, etc. and tries to shove it all in her mouth. Most of it lands in her lap than in her mouth. She's pulling up on the furniture and loves to mess w/ her brother's toys. Of course, this means he collapses into a fit of whining. Then whenever he wants a toy of her's, he just takes it and claims to be "sharing." I can't help but smile.
