Pau's First Bath

At first he really didn't like it

Then Papa figured out he should be submerged in the warm water instead of just hanging over it in the bathtub sling. That was clever and Pau appreciated it.

In the end it all turned out OK. And clean.

And I slept through it all.

Aren't We Cute? (Part I)

My First Hair Cut

Papa gave me my first haircut.

He used electric clippers. . . .

which really tickles!

But the best part by far was when he let me do it myself! You know what they say about hair. . . it always grows back!

TRUCKS!

You may not know this yet, but I LOVE TRUCKS.

So today was an awesome day.

Today they cut down two big trees in front of our house. I only had to look
through the window to see a big dump truck, a bucket truck, a crane
truck, a grinder truck and a frontloader. And they were all orange.

So much fun!

I Like Pau

I like watching him squirm around in slow motion.

I like taking off his hat and putting on his hat.

I like rocking him in his swing.

I like holding him in my lap.

And I especially like kissing him.

Trying on Winter Hats

Last year's hat doesn't fit me anymore so it's time to find a new one. Luckily we had a few to choose from. . .

Isn't Pau Beautiful?

and I don't say this because he's my brother...


(the view from his hospital room wasn't bad, either)

Pau is Born

My brother Pau was born today. Until we get a family blog, I'll share
mine with him. . .

PAU

means both Peace and Paul in Catalan

born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1 Nov 2010, 5:31pm
6 lb 13 oz, 19 in long, eyes open

He's awesome, and perfect, and we're ecstatic. Pau is eating like a
champ and mom feels great.

Happy Halloween!

Today was my first time Trick-or-Treating. That is the Halloween tradition when kids dress up in costumes and go from house to house saying, "Trick or Treat." Then the neighbors (hopefully) give you candy (Treat).

It is fantastic.


In case you can't tell, I dressed up as a sheep.


Papa was a BP Oil worker.




We even got to visit Maura, where I used to go for daycare.


After we gathered MANY Treats, we came home and gave candy out to the other kids. That was fun, too. But not quite as fun as collecting.
