Sometimes...

...being put down is really thAT bad.

Teacher

Rosie lights up when she sees her teacher, Ms. Morgan. This morning she was thrilled to be first in line for class so she could stand next to Ms. Morgan and give her lots of hugs. At one point she leaned over to me: "Ms. Morgan, I mean, Mom. I don't LIKE Ms. Morgan. I LOVE her."

View never gets old

Jazz

Joseph finally met his LA cousin. Happy 21st cousin J!!

Tea time

Joseph got his first invitation to tea by Lady Rosa.

Roll over?

Joseph may have just rolled from tummy to back. As Daddy says, another level of supervision has begun!

Here he is post-roll. Not as exciting for him, it seems.

Joseph giggles

Joseph is starting to like sound of his own name. It's been tricky trying to get a video of him because he is so distracted by the phone, understandably. Here's a little taste.

2 bays 2 days

Last last Friday we spent the day at the beach in Alameda.





Because one bay wasn't enough we spent the next day at the Monterey Bay.

Mom's bday

After two failed attempts to post a gazillions pics of our Tahoe weekend (thanks L&M!), I've decided to pare down the list and share a few highlights from that weekend.

109 days of Bà

Grateful to have had Bà here for such a long stretch of time (though never long enough!). We miss her already!!

Sweetness

Hotel innovation

Rosie thinks hotels are magical. This morning I woke up to her creating her own hotel with DaddyO. She was sure to make a list of everything they needed and informed me that Hotel 410 had an app where you input your style, size, and how many days you'll be there so your clothes are waiting for you.
Pair that with an old school construction paper phone with coiled phone cord ("What's that, mommy?") and you've got yourself a sweet vacation spot!

Great uncle

Joseph loves to chat with Tio Al. They had a nice conversation the other night. Probably about their opinions on the presidential candidates.
