My Baby Can Teleport

Where she started.

Where I found her three minutes later when I came back.

Conclusion? My baby can teleport.

How awesome is that?

It's my new Trump Card in Mompetitions. Example:

Other Mother: My daughter is 2. She now speaks five languages including Xhosa (you know, the African one with the clicks?), can forge Thomas Jefferson's signature and was reading at the age of 3 months. And she's potty trained.

Me: [significant pause] My baby can teleport.

BAM! I win.

Granny's Sweaters

Granny finished Meghan's sweater and sent it out to us. Here Meg is sporting it.

Nonwalking Walker

We got this because Vivian wanted to sit up and visit instead of slouch in a bouncer. I was going to get a saucer but we have so little room. This kills two birds with one stone and it folds down for easy storing!

Trip(s) to Google

Since Brian and Chriss were here, we decided to take a trip to Google so they could see all the puppies and rainbows. However it wasn't a very well planned trip. While Kyle was driving back home to get his badge, we walked at the nature trail that is right next to Kyle's buildings.

By the end of it Meghan was tired of all the walking.

Waiting for Kyle and Brian to bring the cars.

Well, we didn't get much done that first round and had to leave shortly after Kyle got back because it was lunch time. But Kyle took Brian and Chriss back up the next day to play pool and see some of the cool Google statues.

I think there is some sort of significance with all the food but I can't quite remember what it is.

Brian got to try out a Google Bike.

Chriss Our Stylist

With Uncle Brian and Aunt Chriss here the girls got all kinds of excitement they usually don't get. One such treat: hairdos!

Trust me. Addy's hair is hard to do.

Thanksgiving 2010

My first Thanksgiving where I was in charge of the meal! It was way fun, but I was tired when it was all over. Brian and Chriss came so it was quite the party.

And Now For All The Random Baby Shots

Well look at that. She's still a baby.

No longer scared of these strange dangling toys

Silly Daddy. Posture is for developed peoples with sufficient core strength.

Look into my eyes.... Now you will obey my every command...

Googleween

So Google threw a free Halloween party for Googlers and their families with free food, free candy, free entertainment, free Android toys, free pumpkins to decorate, and possibly free snakes if you could manage to sneak one out of the observatory tent.

Mom was a little... stressed by the crowds. For those of you who can't tell, I am supposed to be a Noogler. Ha ha, lame Google joke...

Yeah, that hat didn't last long.

Ahhh... Google grass is so much greener...

Swing Sweetie

There was just something so... Cuddly about these pictures.

Santa Cruz Boardwalk

At some point I suppose I'll stop bothering with the camera to Boardwalk. Now is not that time.

For some reason Addy never seemed entirely happy to be riding the rides.

Kyle after riding the big kid rollercoaster ALL BY HIMSELF!

The Peril of Markers

We experimented with markers recently. I discovered that on the PATMM scale (Post-Activity Traumatized Mom Meltdown) they rank far higher than crayons or coloring pencils but lower on the PLTD scale (Potential Long Term Damage). However, PATMM was just too high to be overridden by the low PLTD so we no longer have markers. I just don't like being angry...
