Our latest photo shoot

First, a guessing game! The answer will be revealed in a few days. One of these pictures is of Stephie, circa August 2008. The other is of Haley, taken today. Can you tell them apart?

Dance, Stephie!

Mommy's work

Stephie and Haley visited Mommy's office today and met all of the ladies working at the front desk. Stephie got TWO Dora stickers and one Benny sticker plus a lollipop. Whoa!

Tai Chi?

"Look, Bingo, what's that in the distance?""Hurry, let's check it out!"
"Oooohhh...Tai Chi! Let's practice some poses!"Haley prefers yoga...
...the cobra pose, in particular!

Floor time

Here is Haley hanging out on the floor like any happy 4-month-old would do.
Enjoying floor time at the library:Stephie likes tummy time too!
"See, Haley, here's me when I was little!"

Taming the wild beasts

Today at Cosley Zoo, while Haley kept the birds in line......Stephie tamed the worst of the worst animals: the horrible, evil, menacing CHICKEN NUGGET. This ferocious animal strikes great fear into Mommy's heart; good thing Stephie is extra brave!

Fifty nifty United States

Stephie's latest floor puzzle tests her knowledge of all 50 states! Well, not really...New England is pretty much a big clump.Stephie's favorite state: M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I!
Here is Stephie once again "smiling pretty" for the camera. Sigh
Awwww, Haley!

Painting with Poppie

These photos are from last weekend, but Mommy was reminded of them after picking up Stephie and Poppie's magical creations today (it took a week for them to be glazed). Stephie took Poppie to Paint Me Pottery here in Glen Ellyn to make a hand-painted coffee mug.

Bingo was there too, of course.

Hard at work...excellent concentration!

Here is sweet Haley.Can you see my tiny tooth?Yummers!
