Photos of the week

Random photos of the kids from the past week..

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had an enjoyable Thanksgiving today at (Joe's) Aunt Jeannie's house. Ava was hesitant to try new things... she was adamant the turkey was chicken, she turned her nose up at the cornbread stuffing, ate a few bites of mashed potatoes and couldn't get enough of Aunt Jenny's birthday cake and the chocolate pie. Go figure. Roman was pleasant the entire day, minus the 10 minutes prior to leaving. He just cut his first tooth yesterday (!) and was short on his naps today so he went from happy to pissed in 1.2 seconds... and screamed most of the way home.

Aside from the tooth, Roman has also learned to start rolling over this week. I have a feeling he would have shown off his tricks earlier but bad mommy here doesn't give him enough tummy time to practice. He also has started eating rice cereal. After some initial frustration on Roman's part, I think we have a system that works and will probably start feeding him 2x a day since he's been going through a growth spurt and is taking his bottle more often.
I have been taking so many pictures lately now that I have my camera working again. I think I'll post another blog in the next few days with some misc photos I've taken over the last week.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!

Houston, we have a camera!

My baby is back... woohoo! We picked up my camera from the shop today. I hope there are no more problems because I felt lost (and sad) without it.

I took both kids to the zoo a couple of weeks ago. You'd never know it was November by the clothes we were wearing. Both Ava and I had on capris! It was only Roman's second time there and his first on the train. Ava was so excited to be showing him new things...
Ava was "Star of the Week" last week at preschool. She got to bring in favorite toys, books and photos and show everything to her classmates. On Friday, Nanny Vicki & I went to her classroom to read a few books. She loved it.
I took a few extra pictures of the kids today b/c I was so excited about getting my camera back. Roman enjoyed smiling for me...
Ava decided she wanted her photo shoot outside but only stood still long enough for me to take one non-blurry photo.
