Date night

Enjoyed a cold beer on a warm night at the new beer garden downtown. So nice to have some one-on-one time! Thanks, Ba!

Picture Day

Rosie's picture day. This year she is sporting a dress that was once Di T's and the Mommy's.

Bottle victory

First bottle for Joseph. Only took DaddyO about half an hour to convince him it was a good thing. Just a first step but we mark this as a victory!

Joseph: month one

August 25, 2015

At Joseph's 2-week appt, Joseph was around the 40th percentile for weight, 80th for height, and 90th for head-size. He's been eating really well and chubbing up nicely. He's tracking with his eyes, making eye contact and loves light. He's grabbing a little more (mostly hair). He sort of likes baths; loves to be on the move in the stroller, car, or in someone's arms; and loves cuddling with his sister. He's not sleeping in very long stretches at night, but with Ba's magic touch we can sometimes get longer stretches. Love this little one!

First day of school!

Rosie's first day of TK was on Monday! The school surprised us with an awesome welcome sign. Rosie is in the Forest Friends classroom with 12 other 4-year olds where they sit cross cross apple sauce with bubblegum hands and zipped lips. After the first day, a new friend came running after Rosie to give her a hug. So sweet.

It was a pretty easy transition for this school pro. Now if only we could figure out morning traffic patterns to be on time...

Little no more

Second day of TK (first day pics coming soon!). We blinked and our little girl seems not so little anymore.

More cheeks

Even Joseph loves his cheeks

Zoo

Enjoying the last week of summer vacation.

Jig

Goody jig face:


Then back to serious:

I can't feel my face...

Happy 37th, DaddyO

Celebrated Dad's birthday with a concert in the park with family and friends Friday night, sleeping in Saturday morning, a ferry ride into SF and walking through the city. Happy birthday! We love you Daddy/Mike!

Hearts strong as horses

This week Rosie participated in her very first dance class, a My Little Pony dance camp. The week ended with a little performance. Woo Rosie!

Goodbye Lalo

We said goodbye to Lalo the Lizard yesterday. After a few good weeks of bunking with Rosie in her room, we decided he would be happier back out in the world. Take care, Lalo. Come visit.
