Time and time again, this kid chooses meat above all the rest (funny also, because I craved sweets non-stop when I was pregnant with him, way more than with Meryl). Here’s to cognitive brain development! Our savory little pork belly.
I’m still hungry
As a 4th of July treat, Meryl got a whole Drumstick ice cream cone that she picked out at the store. I don’t know why I was impressed that she ate the whole thing, it’s sweet and has chocolate! Upon heading back into the house, she stated that she was still hungry - and when Frank asked what she was still hungry for, she replied, “ice cream.”
Happy 4th of July!
Last minute bike ride with Meryl to Ken’s Market for hot dogs and ice cream! Though, Meryl really only ate the chips and French onion dip courtesy of Lorraine:)
Morning romp
Again and again, Discovery Park mornings are pure happiness.
Teeter-tottering with Theo
This past weekend was one of Meryl’s Raindrop friend’s birthday. Cake, balloons, hikes, and playground time! And teeter-totter playtime with another Raindrop friend, Theo!
Birthday party circuit woes
Being nice and entertaining parents while Meryl skips off to have fun with her friends is exhausting!
Like father, like son
Like Meryl, it turns out that Holmes just likes flavor too. Puréed broccoli and sweet potatoes are only so interesting. Frank made a beef and potato stew tonight, one of his favorite childhood dishes (and a house staple), and Holmes couldn’t get enough of it!
So impressed with himself
Holmes’ abs flexed into gear this week, thanks to Baylie’s exercise regime:) He magically swims on the floor across the room these days, and shows off his planks and crawling pose like a track athlete about to burst forward...ready to launch soon!
A week apart
Thank you, photo metadata, for time-stamping these monumental moments. Right angles for the win!
Ball of cookie dough
Today’s soccer practice included kicking balls of cookie dough around the field oven to cook. When asked what the team should add to their cookie dough, Meryl was first to shout out, “chocolate!” She loooves chocolate, we actually talk about it often. I’m with her!
Little monkey
Well, this happened. Out of our eyesight. Meryl was so proud to have figured out how to climb in her brother’s crib. So naturally, we asked her to show us how she did it and had to sing along as she jumped and sang, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
Conspirator
Holmes thought it was pretty funny too:)
