The image they are using is hanging above Lena's crib. :) We love frogs!

Hop to It! Take Part in Save the Frogs Day on April 29 : Wildlife Promise:

Momma's car feels oddly empty

... when baby isn't in it.

On our way to school

On a beautiful Austin spring day!

Lena's first water adventure

Poppa is a frustrated cinematographer - whenever the camera comes on, his young star freezes and stares. Notice his stealth technique in this video as he tries to distract her with the garden hose.

Oma's Pictures, April 2011

Papa & Me

With my Aunty Mim who is visiting from Alaska.

Here comes the airplane.

Dinner's over & now it's play time.

Papa's funny.

Mama & Me on our back porch.

Oma found a new 'jump up' for me.

Sitting at Oma and Bill's table with a great wooden spoon.

This is a team effort& it can be done anywhere.

A new friend requires a little observation...I think he's ok.

Yup, I like him.

Another of me in my 'jump up'.

New kitten

Kitties and babies

I just had to share this adorable link full of cute pictures of kitties with babies. No, Lena and Raja are not among them, but there are still cute!

Daily Awww: I dare you not to smile: Kids with cats (21 photos)

Hanging on the back porch

Yesterday we went to our 6 month checkup.  Lena has gained 2.5 lbs and 2 inches since her last visit.  We're slowing down a bit, but still a growing girl! 

Otherwise, everything is great and we're in perfect health.

We also had a great night hanging out at Oma's before she leaves for the summer and meeting some of Oma and GrandBill's friends.  Maybe Oma will get a chance to post some pics here of our visit soon!  (hint, hint)

Luv!

Dinner at Oma's

Spooooooooon!

For she's a jolly good fellow! Which nobody can deny!

Happy 6-month birthday to the cutest little lady in my life!

Love,
Momma

LR in new jump up!

Thanks Oma!

Why don't you like naptime?

An older video from February. Lena is approximately 4 1/2 mos old. Watch her cry herself to sleep in under 2 minutes.

Dinner at Brandifer's house

We went over to dinner at Chris and Brandi's house last night. Click to view gallery.

Bonus: towards the end - you'll find a great fussy baby. And what fussy baby looked like just a few minutes later.

First Day of School

Yesterday was my first official day of school.  I had a great day.  Miss Lorraine said I enjoyed the swing.  Momma thinks I liked hanging out with other babies similar in age.

When momma walked in to pick me, she found me enjoying belly time over a boppy pillow. I'm usually pretty fussy during belly time.  On the way home, I talked my momma's ear off - cooing and gooing!  That is, of course, until I promptly fell asleep.

For dinner, I enjoyed my first taste of broccoli.  All in all - a very good day full of firsts!

Out for a walk

A peek through the window of our BOB jogging/disc golf stroller.

You gotta see this

Lena says you are not going to believe how cute these pictures are! Click to view gallery.

New outfit. Thanks Amber!

Because someone was complaining that Lena hadn't updated her blog in 2 whole days... Ha! ... a little something from yesterday.

But seriously folks, cuteness abounded this past weekend at Jamaica Gold with the Bagnalls! Watch for more pics (with props!) coming soon!

Tax time

Who knew doing our taxes could be this much fun?  Thanks to Marlene for letting us visit her office!


Once we got home, I enjoyed the afternoon hanging out on the back porch!
