A Few Photos from January

I have been very lax about taking photos and posting them lately, so here are a few shots from the last few weeks to tide you over until we do something interesting enough to warrant a real post.

Ian had an ear infection and a cold, so he got to curl up on the couch with his pillow, blanket, and bunny and watch movies.


Mia took her first real bath in the tub with Ian. Even though she seemed to enjoy it, it was not a total success as this tub is junk so we returned it. Still looking for a good solution for combined bath time.


Ian agreed to take a break from watching Dora to pose for a photo with his sister.

Happy Girl

2 Months Old

Mia is 2 months old!



At 2 months, Mia:
- drinks 4-5 ounces of formula 5 times a day.
- weighs 9lbs 9oz and measures 21.5 inches.
- has grown out of her newborn clothes, and is starting to fit in some of her 0-3m outfits.
- likes to stay up late, but once she falls asleep, around 11pm, sleeps through until about 6am.
- has started to grin and coo, and has more happy awake time during the day.
- has recently decided she likes her paci.
- is getting very good at supporting her head.

Christmas 2011

Santa was awfully good to us this year!


Ian was very excited about each of his gifts as he opened them.


We took a break from opening presents to put together a puzzle.


Santa even brought Ian (and everyone else) a cupcake!

They do look a lot alike, I think.


Merry Christmas!

A Visit with Santa

Tonight Santa stopped by the Frugality Ct Christmas party to check up on all the boys and girls to make sure they were being nice instead of naughty. Santa brought a present for Ian, but he was too distracted by his delicious cookie. When Santa asked Ian what he wanted for Christmas, Ian said "a cupcake!"



Mia got a present from Santa too, but she was too sleepy to notice.


Mommy was hoping for a present from Santa too, but no luck.


Then Mia and Santa took a little nap.

More Christmas Fun

Ian loves to hang (and re-hang) the ornaments on the Christmas tree.




This evening we got all bundled up and walked to the main street to see Santa drive by on the firetruck.
