Giggles and Tantrums...

Evelyn will be 1 year old soon and with that comes toddler-hood. Evelyn just started expressing herself via tantrums. Oh joy... She really does not like the word "no". Sometimes the tantrum includes crying...sometimes she dramatically throws herself to the ground (great! another drama queen), and sometimes she just silently pouts and refuses to make eye contact with you.

In this video below she is one happy baby...playing around on the floor with her Babci.

In this next video, Babci told her "no" and that she couldn't play with the computer electrical cord. Drama ensues!

Pool time with Daddy...

Here is a continuation of the last post. I have two videos of Lorelai swimming with Daddy. Pretty cute. ENJOY!

Pool Time!

Summer time means pool time and both our little water-bugs couldn't wait to go swimming. They love the water!

"Ummm, ok Pop-Pop... Why isn't the hot tub open yet??"

"Ahhh! This is the life. The only thing I need now is a bottle of milk!"

Hanging out at Pop-Pop and Babci's house!

We loved spending time at Pop-Pop and Babci's house!

Lorelai and Uncle Joe!

Evelyn and her new crawling turtle. She chases it around all day!

Smelling the flowers with Pop-Pop

Mommy and Lorelai hanging in the yard. What a beautiful day it was!

This little girl loves her sunglasses. She is sitting her admiring Babci's peonies!

Evelyn has started standing on her own. She claps every time she does it (so proud of herself!). It won't be long before she is walking...

Meeting Cousin Thomas

We spent the first couple days at home at Uncle TJ's house. We also wanted to meet baby cousin, Thomas. He is a cutie pie and just 4 days older than Evelyn. I loved seeing them play together. It was a good time.

Enjoying the sunshine after a nap. A mild case of bed-head...

Two cousins of the same age!

And a picture of all the cousins. This picture was taken after a cheerio spill!

Beautiful girl

Happy Belated Father's Day!

Here are the pictures I took for Joe's Father's Day gift. We put the pictures in a tri-fold frame for him to put on his desk. Thanks to Auntie for helping with the picture-taking. Toddlers and babies can be uncooperative. The pictures spell out "D-A-D". They are going to be put in his office!

Leaving...on a jet plane!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Most of you already know that the girls and I have been in Nashua, NH for the past almost 2 weeks visiting family. Joe was only able to come for a short, three days during this period because he couldn't miss work. This meant that Momma was flying alone with two little ones. The flight up wasn't too bad. Thanks to everyone at home for their hospitality and taking so much time off work to spend with me and the girls. It meant a lot! Also, congratulations to Uncle Joe on his graduation from high school (our whole reason for going home in the first place!) We know you'll do great things at Sacred Heart University.

Lorelai has been flying before, but Evelyn is earning her wings!!

"Look, Momma! I see our plane!"

Waiting for our connection

Old Lady Walker...

Here is a video of my big girl, Evelyn, walking with her walker. She is getting better and better! She looks like an old lady with her walker...

Singing in the rain!

We were feeling cooped up in the house and had had several days of rain. That didn't stop us from going out. Equipped with umbrellas, we ventured out to the zoo. It started out great. A light drizzle that stopped and started again. This led to a torrential downpour!! We had to run back to the car (good thing we had the jogging stroller). We were surprised to find a minor flash flood in the street we needed to cross to get to our car. We had to push the stroller through knee-deep water to get out of there....but we were laughing all the way. Safe and dry at home....
