Noah finally

got a coat. I asked him last night, and he says he thinks he had one as a kid. I've never known him to have one.

Ok, it doesn't look very special here, but it looks great on Noah. He's at work.

Mom gave her input in Kentucky, and Noah gave his in Cincy. We made a call on a "red phone" that wasn't red. I haggled with the salesperson. Did you know you could do that? $100 off and free shipping.

look what i can do

i'm so strong. i do yoga poses for fun: plank, dolphin plank, full boat, cat, and happy baby, of course! mom didn't know it was special until everyone kept pointing it out.
but she knew my mountain was special.

i do a mean center and side split, too.

this little piggy

went to the market.

Nohemi loves to "coupon" with me;

she likes the colors, the lights, the admirers, the deals,

and as daddy says, "Chiquita must go out every day!"

and how do you like her piggy?

We forgot

I was sad that we forgot to do a shoot on Nohemi's real 8-month birthday, but here's one I got of her that day. She's proud of herself for crawling.

Here's one a couple of days later-- her official shoot.

I like the candid better!

(I think the grass does, too!)

7 and...

Nohemi's already 8 months old, but we just got these7-month pictures from our trip to AZ. 

This is THE pic I was after. Great teamwork, everybody! Don't Alicia and Libby look alike here?

with cousin libby and the very interesting blanket

Happy for this because most of her pictures with a parent are daddy/daughter.

8-month pics are coming soon!

Happy Half-birthday to You!

We sure love this little one.

Today

We're playing with magnets.
