Lap Children

Crazy to think that these two little people belong to us.

Daddy's lap is a lot more crowded.

Just Dexter

Here are few more photos capturing our expressive little guy...

Dexter responds to allegations of eating foot on floor.

Dexter finds counsel.  Counsel (aka Daddy) suggests that he say no more about this matter.  Looks like they're trying the classic Cute Baby defense.

Saddest Dinner Ever

A few days after the beginning of the Stomach Illness 2012, this is what dinner looks like.

Wouldn't you love to join us?

Dexter Is Taking It Up A Notch

Dexter is getting big fast!! He's now enjoying much more grown up activities like sitting unsupported (hooray), playing in the exersaucer and the jumperoo thingy. He's very expressive and quite lovable.

Chillin' in the exersaucer.

Standing in jumperoo.

Now jumping in jumperoo. Very fun.

"Yes, I'm cute."

The cuteness can even bring a smile to a sick momma.

Crazy Aunties

Marimar and Coco are little crazy. They decided to share some of the great dance moves from their youth with the next generation in an evening dance party. The results were...interesting.

You may be noticing the flags hanging overhead. Everyone at Coco's shower made a little blessing flag for Coco's little girl to be. We decided to hang them up during the party.

Nice moves.

Hmm.

Looking good, ladies.

Three sisters head out for dinner after the dance party finishes.

Coco's Keiki

Happily, both Coco and Marimar came to visit us. We are very excited that Coco is expecting a keiki (Hawaiian for little one) this May. Even though she lives in Hawaii, she has many close friends from her many years in San Francisco, so her two sisters decided to throw her a baby shower.

Maya was delighted to take turns having stories read to her by Coco and Marimar. Coco first...

...then Marimar.

Three sisters.

Maya radios in for backup before the shower.

It was a rainy Sunday, but we had a wonderful time celebrating inside.

Coco absorbs some shower love.

Later, Dexter felt like taking a walk...

...with three of his favorite ladies.

Lulu and Oscar

Lulu decided to come back for a short visit while Pop was on a ski trip. What fun!

Beautiful.

Lulu brought a beloved doll that used to belong to Mommy. Her name is Annie K and she is only a little bit creepy.

Nice outfit, Annie.

Dexter is living it up in the exersaucer.

Dex and Daddy.

Dexter is now a very proficient thumbsucker.

He is also very huggable.

Lulu was here for Oscar night. This year, Brandon, Sara, Elliott and Nicholas joined us for the festivities. Dexter and Nicholas were particularly excited to see their first Oscars.

Maya spontaneously decided to put on her fanciest outfit like the people on TV.

Maya and Lulu.

Tickling Dexter.

Maya gets fancy again.

Hello.

Happy boy.
