leo is 2 and a quiet afternoon.



 my little boy is two. i cant believe it. he is so sweet, so fun, so happy, so funny, so smart and so dramatic. yes, we have learned the meaning of terrible two's. but that's okay. his happy times far outweigh his upset times. as you can see- he is obsessed with buzz and superman. he is speaking in small sentences now. "i'm hungry." "i'm tired." "i'm stuck." "i love you, mommy." "i like cheese." "i hurt knee." (i didn't say they were complete sentences) i am so grateful for his awesome communication skills. it makes his tantrums much easier to handle. leo is a great brother. always wanting to help sister when she cries by giving her the binky or a sloppy kiss to the forehead. we are working on his sharing skills. he is getting better and we give him a lot of praise when he does share. if he does something he finds particularly fun, he loves to come and tell me about it. my heart swells with pride and happiness when i hear him desperately trying to compile all of the vocabulary he knows to describe what he did. its so cute.
we had a great birthday party with yummy food, great friends and lots of playing on the playground. on leo's actual birthday we opened some gifts and went to the zoo with leo's friend anna (no pics sorry). the zoo was really hot and crowded but leo still talks about all the animals he saw. he had a great time.
mommy, daddy and sister love you, 2-year-old boy leo.


naked snack time after a nice nap. i told leo to make a "superman face" and he gave me the blue steel look above. the other face up on the right is a "bad guy face."


my chubby bunny baby girl is getting so big. almost 3 months old. she is so sweet, quiet and lovable. she is a very smiley baby, especially when daddy is around. she sleeps great, eats great and snuggles great. and as you can see, i love having a girl to dress up- even though i don't have much time to do so. 


yesterday there was a battle. zurg vs. superman. i'm not entirely sure who won. but it was a juicy battle. who do you think would win?
