Isn't he a little too young to have the puppy-dog-eyes-look perfected already? I'm in trouble!

During Atticus' naptime, someone got to play with his balloon. Shhh!

Sweet little Ladybug

Just a picture of my sweet girl. The Doodle is staying with Nana and Papa for a few days, so Franny is getting more attention than she has ever had in her whole LIFE!

I think someone loves her Daddy.

The camera came in last night but it still isn't working. Too bad, because today I walked into Atticus' room to find Franny holding a football and wearing Mr. Potato Head's glasses on her face.

Word pictures:

I sent the camera in for repairs, so we should have it back in a week or so. If I did have pictures, this is what they would be:

-A dozen beautiful dyed Easter eggs, done by Mr. Atticus himself (with just a little help from me).

-Atticus hunting his eggs. He was sooo suprised to wake up and find them hiding in the living room. He caught on and started looking for them right away, and every time he found another, he'd shout "More Egg!"

-Franny at 5 months old. She can sit up on her own now for a few seconds before toppling over.

-The kids at their cousin's first birthday party on Easter Sunday. They had fun and both loved the balloons.

-Both kids in our humongous new double stroller. We've been walking to the park almost every day. Franny especially loves the stroller. The kids face each other, and she looks at Atticus and just laughs and laughs.

Hopefully I'll have pictures for real soon. =)

Another fun thing about having two kids under two:

Two babies teething at the same time. (Don't you wish you were me?) =)

Spring Break

Our camera is not functioning, so that's why I haven't posted any pictures in a while. I just got time today to dig up the warranty, and we are still covered for another year, so I'll be taking it in to get it fixed soon.

In the meantime, I'll add a few things we've been up to. This was Spring Break, and the weather was beautiful! We went on several walks and trips to the small park down the street from our house. Atticus is loving the slide and has gotten brave enough to go down it without me standing right there. Franny swings on the baby swing and enjoys herself as well.

Wednesday we went to a birthday party and both the kids had a lot of fun. Atticus said "Please" and "Thank you" without me reminding him, and Franny was as good as gold. I was so proud of them both!

Thursday we met some friends at Chick-fil-a to play on the equipment there. Atticus got up inside the toy and then got scared, but some nice older kids came along and helped him through and he ended up making friends with everyone there. All the kids were running through the toy shouting "Atticus! Atticus!" It was pretty funny.

We had our second-t0-last week of Storytime at the library, and Atticus is finally getting comfortable enough to start joining in for the songs, etc. Too bad it's ending next week.

To top it all off, we had visits from Grandma both weekends, and from Nana and Papa during the week. What fun!

Franny's new talents this month include rolling from front-to-back and back-to-front, and blowing raspberries. She cracks herself up. At her 4 month appointment earlier this month, she weighed 13 lbs, 13 oz.

Atticus is changing so fast I don't even know what to say. He is doing a great job putting together his "ABC" puzzle, is really starting to combine words, and is a goofball in general. He points at things he isn't supposed to touch and says "no no no no no."

With any luck we'll have the camera fixed soon!

Happy Four Months, Franny!

Franny has been with us four months today!

She continues to be precious, although she has started making this really high-pitched teradactyl noise. She has decided that Atticus is absolutely the greatest thing ever, and he can get her to laugh or stop fussing more easily than we can!
