I just caught up with Baylie’s photos and this sweet hammock treat from last week:)
Lumpia party
Happy Birthday, Meryl! We brought Lola and her homemade lumpia to Meryl’s class on her birthday to celebrate with her pre-school friends. And as the second youngest, Meryl finally got to use the special birthday candle snuffer to snuff out three candles for being three years old!
Birthday twin
Meryl shares a birthday with cousin, Lainie! Lucky for us, we caught her on FaceTime after she came home from her own birthday dinner to celebrate!
Still exceptionally normal
Holmes checked in for his nine month doctor’s appointment this week, and checked out exceptionally normal!
So much food
And she’s (almost) three! Weather was great, friends and family are great, and the food stole the show. Seaweed hand rolls for the kids (interactive!) and chili dogs, Cool Ranch Doritos nachos, and lumpia for the adults! I think every kid drank an average of five juice boxes, and each made sure to have cookies and a slice of Chelsea’s chocolate cake. Pre-nap perfection.
Honey Bucket cookies
Meryl’s still obsessed. And our friend, Tiffany, is super talented. Yup, we went there:)
Nap interrupter
And fashionable no less!
Applesauce the pony
Another annual block party in the books! This year, Applesauce the pony came to visit and Xanna made it just in time!
“I’m so strong”
“Yes you are!” Setting up for Meryl’s birthday party tomorrow. Frank and I both had a couple of moments today realizing that Meryl is growing up. Has it really been almost three years?
A queen and her castle
Meryl’s teacher at school sent us this picture of Meryl’s creation that she called her ‘castle.’ She was beaming with pride and told her teacher that we needed to see her castle.
Holmes is nine months old
Nine months! And tonight, he graduated to the big bathtub. He’s achieved proficiency in sitting, crawling, grabbing, eating, clapping…and tipping over Lummi’s water bowl. Big month!
