Valentine’s Day 2017

Eleanor jazzed for her first party at daycare

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

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.

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!

The family that play-dohs together, stay-dohs together
