October 13 = Daddy/Daughter Day

Malia has been in a really cranky mood lately so tonight, we were all planning on going to dinner but Zachary decided to take Malia to dinner, just the two of them.

Another picture of a sleeping baby... it's what I do.

April 4 = Sad Sad Day

So my title's a little dramatic.  The day started off fine.  Here's Malia drinking half of the smoothie I finally brought myself to make.  For weeks I've been planning on making smoothies every morning because I don't always eat the most complete breakfast.  Well I finally made one and Malia consumed a good deal of it.  Which is great- lots of vitamins and minerals for her!

We talked a lot about the color green today.  My objective was for Liam to take the green letters out of our container of magnetic letters and say them before he put them on the whiteboard.  However Malia wanted to play along and added some extra colors to the board.

Malia has been so cranky lately and I suspected it was teething but she doesn't let us look in her mouth.  I wanted to know what was going on in there so I got Zachary to help me pin her down.  Her upper canines have broken through- valid excuse for the crankiness.

The reason the title of today's post is sad sad day is because tonight was the NCAA championship game with my Tar Heels favored to win.  They didn't.  And that's all I'm going to say about that because it's a tad bit embarrassing to admit just how upset I was.

December 27 = DTA/Brio Day

It's getting cold in Annapolis!  Liam's TMNT vest is serving him well!  Before heading to downtown Annapolis, affectionately known as DTA, Pops took Liam to the playground outside our apartment.  This boy is obsessed with going outside- he's also obsessed with having both hands held and having his hand holders count to three and swing him through the air.  And he's also obsessed with Gigi- if you don't have enough hands to hold Gigi, carrying her in your mouth will have to do!

There's a store in DTA called Irish Traditions and anytime we are close, Zachary and his family stop in- it's a favorite of theirs.  It's really neat- they have clothes and jewelry, baby gifts and information about different Irish families.  Liam enjoyed himself during this trip and tried on this really cool hat.  Also I'm pretty good at taking pictures very quickly before he vehemently takes the hat off.

Later in the day we all went to eat dinner at Zachary's and my favorite new restaurant, Brio.  Liam did not cooperate; Zachary and I took turns walking around outside with him but here's his, "1, 2, 3, weeeeee" action shot on the way back to the car!
