Bathtime for Darby

And G for comparison at the same age:

Labor Day with the Aunties

Man in the Mirror

Darby's first playmate happens to be herself.

An empty bag of chips is also great entertainment.

New Clothes From Nanue

Nanue sent G a big box of winter clothes and of course we had to wear them right away. It was only 95 outside.

Lots of Naked

I can't remember why I took this picture. I know Georgia was showing off something, maybe her shoes.

He Did It!

I left Matt with both girls twice this week and he survived beautifully. Darby did get a couple of extra baths out of the deal but I am so proud of him.

Silence is NOT Golden

Georgia is learning to talk so it is a constant stream of babble in our house. Whenever the babble stops something is up. This week...

#1 I am nursing the baby and Georgia is puttering around with her breakfast. Dragon Tales is on and I find myself watching (not that I haven't seen this episode 6 times). I realize it has been quiet for about 3 minutes and I turn to find Georgia has gotten a hold of the salt shaker and is covering her oat bar in salt and then licking it off.

#2 Again, nursing Darby and Georgia is doing her usual running around. She disappears for a while and I call for her and hear nothing. I call again, nothing. On the 3rd call she comes running to me with her tongue stuck out as far as it can go and her toothbrush covered in white goo. She has just tried to brush her teeth with expired zit cream. I know, child proofing would be a good idea and I thought we had.

#3 We came in the house tonight and Darby was asleep so I had all of 5 minutes to do a quick clean. I start picking up clothes and realize there is an odd stillness behind me. I turn to find Georgia furiously sucking on the straw of my Dr. Pepper (mommas treat). I say "Georgia Alice!" and she pulls the straw out of her mouth, eyes watering, gasping for breath and says, "Momma dink!" Like she had just done me a favor by pointing out I had a drink. She had almost emptied the cup which means she got at least 12 to 14 ounces of caffeine laden goodness. All in 15 seconds.

I have told Matt if it gets quiet it is time to go Georgia hunting.

What are you Lookin' at?

Milo and Darby acknowledged each other for the first time today and it was a very pleasant encounter. A little licking by both participants.

The D and the G

God Bless Sesame Street

Notice G is holding Darby's hand.

Gene Simmons

I call this game "Darby is asleep and I have 30 minutes to prepare for my meeting so here is a bag of old makeup to play with."

She Laughs

Darby laughed today. She has been close for about a week now but today I tickled her tummy and she let out multiple little giggles. I just love their little belly laughs.

In Georgia news, her verbal skills are improving everyday and yesterday when asked about her fiber bar she said, "Milo ate it." So she is working in pronouns and past tense. Now she just has to work on not feeding fiber bars to the pug.

She has also started singing her own little version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She has the tune right but the words are mush at this point.

Lotion Time

Here is Georgia giving Darby a lotion rub down on her feet. Darby does not seem to be enjoying it.

Georgia showing off her pretty painted toes.

And more lotion.

When daddy gets home he is the victim of a love assault.

The Going Ons

New hat for our little fair-skinned angel.





After playing with Aunt Kiki's lipstick.

Uncle Peter came by.

The roll in action.



Happy baby.
