Oh man. She's gorgeous. Look at those cheeks! *dies*

thanks! she is getting cuter by the minute, and those cheeks just keep getting bigger. as does the rest of her. 12 weeks and already well into 3-6 month old clothes.

No, no, no, Tracer Hand, your kid is still one month old. Time does NOT go by that fast.

Sunny, can I borrow your cute baby for a while? I miss babies. (I would say I don't miss sleep deprivation. And in fact I don't as I'm still sleep deprived: my two kids take turns waking us up SEVERAL times during the night. I am fuxored beyond belief. ARGH!)

Wow, Tracer, that wiggly crawl once he reaches the top of the stairs! Our Louis was watching over my shoulder and wants to know if your Louis is Lou-e or Lou-iss? These things are important to 12 year olds.

Love the Museum of Childhood, it's a total nostalgia fest.

Sunny, yr baby is beautiful.

Nath - I'm feeling yr pain. Six years of disrupted sleep we had - it's hard. BUT IT WILL END! (probably)

Ned, I'm just fucked up beyond belief. :-( SIX years? Oh crappers :-)

No sleep here either. Archie had chicken pox, then bronchiolitis, then Howie got the pox. Just about all better now -- last night was the first they both slept through in about a month.

Wonderful stuff (not the sleep deprivation, the photos).

Has it really been five weeks since I posted on this thread? I look at it nearly every day...

Another pair of tights head for the bin after a rough day at school for Ava...

Lulu, zoning out in a coffee shop with Ivan the Bunny (I had to sit on a stool)...

Little drummer girls in, hey, another coffee shop...

Meg, that is one classic photo. MJ, sometimes i think, in the looks dept, Beeps and Lulu are somehow related. I've also been looking everywhere for Ava's boots in my size.

We are introducing Henry to Beeps' old miracle blanket tonight. A shortish wrapped up evening nap definitely showed some promise.

love seeing these cute kids ... here's mine

omg!!!!!! i loooooovve the look on her face.

<3 those cheeks!

Back to no sleep again last night -- Howie has a back molar coming so was up +++ times.

MJ, this might have been asked before but what camera do you have?

Hey Meg - it's a Canon EOS 40D (before February it was a Canon EOS 300D; the shutter finally reached the end of its life on that). Usually a 28mm f/1.8 or 50mm f/1.8 lens on there. Both cameras were secondhand, off eBay, way less than regular price.

Are you thinking of getting a new camera?

Yo Ned! It's "Lou-ee". (French mom. Although in France they put the emphasis at the end, i.e. Lou-EE.) How about yours?

Here's like 50% of my reality these days:

It chills me to the bone when I imagine what these two have in store for me over the next few years:

they do look like they're up to something ... as do these two ...

And he here is with the same friend after getting their go-cart stuck (with my brother directing the rescue operation and my son helping out by taking a photo of the problem on his phone).
