Week in Pictures-August 21-27

Who wants to make a funny caption for this one? The possibilities are endless.

Getting coffee and treats downtown with Grama

Prepared for Irene-just in case. When we bought these it was on the first day she became a hurricane, and the forecast was for it to hit us. I didn't want to chance people going buzurko and buying all the water... especially when we have two babies who are formula fed.

Maya made monster shirts! I ironed on the body and she picked out the parts that she wanted and placed them where she wanted them to go.

The ones she did for the babies are a little more on the artistic side-I think she did a good job as these were just leftovers from the kit.

Grama here means food. Yum-homemade donuts!

And FRIED CHEERIOS! Mmmm.

The little burritos. Bought swaddlers in hopes that we'd get a little more sleep at night. Nope.

Speaking of sleep at night-this is when we were not getting any, obviously. At least they're cute. This is Ava during a feed and I think she looks a ton like baby me here, if you can see her.

A lot of mornings we watch PBS Kids while things get moving. Patrick loves it apparently.

All three kids have colds. Insert even more guilt about nursing just plain not working here. Ava just looks so pathetic :(

Very fortunately, this is all we got of Irene, the outskirts of it. We had a few wind gusts-not even bad enough to justify putting our patio table umbrella away-and a tiny bit of rain and that's it.

Ava's pretty much winning at the "holding head up". He likes tummy time a little more, but she's better at it. Go figure. Though he's content just lying there most of the time...

(His hair looks blonde here-it's not, it's just a lighter brown and super thin right now, a lot fell out from the top but is growing back in already.)

Cloth booties! Breaking out the stash to use pretty soon.

One of Maya's games lately is to act like a turtle... with pretty much anything and everything. The other day her "shell" was with one of her little play cooking dishes, and tonight it was with the Bumbo.

They're both starting to get smile-y! She does moreso in her sleep but he'll flash me some big ones. This one I caught on the way back down but he has a HUGE smile!
