Blame Daylight Savings.

Or the fact that I have two little kids and a job.

Want to see photos? August! September! October! Halloween!


Most importantly, the photos from her first birthday party. She stands, she can walk holding on to things. She says Mama, Dada, night-night, candy (blame Halloween), poop and something that sounds like Brother.

My going back to work has been hard for her. She's very laid back. She loves to climb stairs. She wants to eat whatever we're eating, but she'd rather nurse.

May, June, July.

My flickr account has lapsed, so to get photos, I have to post them on my facebook page. For those of you who don’t have facebook, you can still see Arwen, Samand all the cuteness you can stomach from May, June and July.

Just an FYI

I haven't forgotten about this blog, and I will be posting more photos of Arwen. It's been a pretty busy 2 months (moved), so I've been lax about organizing and uploading photos to flickr.

Fear not, your Elvish Princess will return.

Pieces of April

Many many pieces. Arwen's first Spring is wonderful.
Here are the photos.

She is rolling rolling rolling all the time now. It makes it nearly impossible to change her diaper or dress her

The other day she was on the blanket in the yard, "swimming" and trying to crawl while Sam and I played Tickle Chase. At one point, Sam ran over to her, crouched down and placed his hand on her head. He wiggled his fingers and said "Teekoo teekoo teekoo!" He then rested his cheek on her soft fuzzy head and said "I so happy!"

March is late. I apologize.

She's plump and precious and wants to crawl desperately.

Here are the photos of Arwen and her Big Brother from March!

February, Finally.

Blogger has been highly inconvenient lately, so it has taken me a while to get this up.

Arwen is growing so much! She's still a peanut compared to her older brother, but she's a plump, happy peanut. She rolls and wiggles and giggles. She's about to cut her first tooth (ugh) and she is madly trying to crawl (she looks like she's swimming). Sam tells her he loves her every single day and showers her with kisses. He has given us the nickname of "Momby" (Mama and Baby combined).



Good times. Photos.

First photos of 2009

Check them out. These kids are gorgeous.

Just Moments Ago

I was putting laundry away in their room. Arwen was on her blanket on the floor, wiggling and looking around. Sam ran in and when I said "Careful, Sam! Don't step on your baby!" he got on the floor next to her and said "Here you go." very sweetly as he placed HIS BLANKIE over her. He put his face near hers and gave her a kiss. She lit up like Piccadilly Circus!

Sam then ran out of the room and said some things to the bunnies on TV, then he ran back in and tossed his blankie over Arwen. I said "No, Sam, not over her face!". He yanked it off, then tossed it back over her. Then he did it again. It took me a minute to realize that he was playing peek a boo with her.

I told him that he was the best Big Brother in the whole world.

Arwen is such a lucky little girl.

December! Arwen's Very First Christmas!

The Photos!

Arwen had no real idea of what was going on, but there were lots of hugs and kisses and family and soft things, so she was happy. She's trying to roll over and she laughs every time her brother looks at her.

This little girl knows that she is loved, indeed.
