fat cats

daniel's idea of some great family fun.

playing some sort of shooting game with a fellow resident. where am i you wonder? if you'll notice, the binkie is now missing from winifred's mouth. that is me in the background, on the disgusting dirty ground with mice and yucky stuff, looking for the thing we're supposed to put in her mouth!! sick, germs!

bowling

she sleeps in a crazy loud bowling alley but not in her quiet comfy crib, with special rainforest soother to put her to sleep?!!?!?

bjorn-in it

it was a cold day, and me and my little pooh bear decided to watch daniel crush boxes on the porch.

here is winnie, just hanging out. that burp rag is permanently placed there. did you know that stuff shoots out of these little guys, left and right?!?!?

:( i miss my friend

this is dunk (2 yrs ago). i thought of him as my mini horse. neigh. when winnie came, he started pooing as much as she did. he wasn't wearing a diaper though.

my christmas list

i found myself a horse! it has been rescued. that is so in right now, haven't you seen ellen??

will all this bouncing tone my abs?

daniel doing the one thing that winnie sometimes likes, bouncing on the exercise ball. i think that one of us is on it pretty much all day (and also night).

i read that babies like to mimic facial expressions. i'm hoping that if daniel looks like THIS all the time, then winnie won't cry so much!

fencer's pose, my favoritest reflex of all

i will narrate winifred's thoughts...
"seriously mom, how much sleep did you think you were going to get?"

"oh wait, i was kidding... i need your help, i have no neck control."

no babies were harmed for the taking of these pictures, they were just precariously placed on the couch. notice the dark circles under my eyes.

adventures in midvalley 11th ward

we finally made it back to church on the sunday before general conference. winnie experienced some rather loud flatulence during the passing of the sacrament. daniel was holding her at the time :) haha

it is a special moment when she'll actually use her binkie. this is the first bow that i made for her.

wakie waking mr. alex

this is "playtime"
in an effort to keep her awake for "playtime" i undressed her. it did not work.

what i should have done was place her in her rainforest swing. she has shown some distaste towards her swing, which she is sleeping in here. it is generally used to wake her up, all you have to do is set her there and then she'll holler.

baby's first bath

winnie's umbilical cord stump fell off 5 days after she was born

boo!

sweet pea

winnie being a little pea in the pod (and/or boppy) when she was fresh home from the hospital
