Chestertown Mayhem

I just realized that I left a batch of pictures
in a draft file on the blog from our trip to Chestertown.
I had meant to write a detailed blog about 
our adventures there, but I am starting to realize
that if I do not just post the pictures,
they will never get posted because it has been
several months now and all they are doing is 
collecting electronic dust.
I apologize, Ilea, for doing such a bad job
documenting your earliest days...
I assure you there are many pictures, just fewer
words than I had for your brother.
But luckily, pictures tell great stories
and I am going to let these tell the story for me
so I can go to bed early.

Prepare mentally for the chaos that is always
the centerpiece of our travels to Maryland.
Picture brightly colored stuffed animals
being chucked down staircases, joyful
shrieking, peanut butter and jelly stained everything...
Ok, you are there. Ready, set, scroll!























Good times.
That is the last of the make-up blogs
and now we are officially in real time
(or at least we are in the right month).

Baby you a song you make me want to... (cry laughing)

The other day I poked my head into Orin's room to
witness this.
I promptly went to get my camera and
started filming because when 
something is this funny,
it is just not fair not to share it.
Enjoy.

Ready or not

  Lately, Ilea has started to express an
interest in eating solids.
 Actually, let me be more specific 
because, Ilea has always
been interested in eating her hand.
But recently she has developed an interest
in eating other things… for example
brownie batter.
"Dude, let me try some of that...
why do you always get the good spoon."
Unfortunately for her,
she still has a couple weeks
before we will introduce her to solids
and her first meal will not have
any chocolate in it whatsoever
(actually, it will likely have almost no
taste whatsoever)
Ah, it is tough being a baby.
