Now she’s barely phased by the presence of bubbles
In a creative indoor parenting move, mom guides Des through some pre-nap calisthenics
After dipping into his so-not-expired Halloween bucket, Des pretty much writes and stars in his own Skittles advertisement
Everyone is so big and brushing their teeth on their own
Eleanor is starting to get the cause-and-effect relationship of the remote and the remote-controlled car

Des was proud of his most recent magna-tiles creation and requested a picture
Christmas brunch with friends. Playing catch in the living room, this can’t go wrong, right?
