Clearly enthused
Making the best french toast ever, with mom
Eleanor was amusing herself in the swing. Or, “Reflections of a Baby and her Tongue”
New sounds
Des absolutely floored by the car wash
Eleanor is increasingly entertained by watching those around her, whether it’s all the kids at daycare or her big brother playing with duplos
After picking up Des from ma & pa’s house, the family ventures for a mild-February zoo outing with Grandma Anne
Dreaming of spring, Des helps dad add the potting soil to the seed starting trays
Drooling cutie
Daycare’s annual Valentine’s Day ballon gift from the community arrived early this year. Next year, baby sister probably won’t surrender her balloon as easily.

While Des is at “HOCKEY!” with ma and pa, meeting Durango

Mom talking with the baby in the mirror…
Family reading time
Des demonstrating more of his memorization by knowing the last word of each line in Clifford’s Birthday Party
Sunday mornings- making waffles and watching cartoons. It was the LEGO movie, so Des and dad were enthralled alike.
Des woke from his nap to find dad brewing in the kitchen (the first time in over two years). Dad explained all about the beer and the little yeasties swimming around and going, “omp chomp chomp!”
Des reading the original gravity in the refractometer. He concurs, 1.054.
Ma and pa came over for the super hockey bowl game (Des kept shouting hockey chants, apparently all sports are now just “hockey”). Also pictured, Ella getting her second peek of the day at the bright moving screen.
But that’s enough screen time, let’s go play with pa
A play mat built for two
That look: the combination of watching the halftime show, but really ready to go to sleep
Eleanor starting her long day with early morning exercises
Eleanor’s three-month photos with Kam
She was a trooper
Eleanor presumably looking at mom’s brunch with envy, wishing she was on to solid foods
Meanwhile, Des went on an adventure with grandma Anne to the botanical center. Des was clearly ecstatic for the annual LEGO exhibit
French fries, mac & cheese, grilled cheese- oh my!
Post-nap, staring at dad’s new grow light for starting seeds in the basement
Bedtime stories- vicuña violining!
Max trying to play with Eleanor
The family that play-dohs together, stay-dohs together
