Little Cupcake

Posted by Lisa Newman on Monday, November 22, 2010, In : 8 months old

She is now 8 months old. Hard to believe because I feel like I just brought her home. And yet, we can't imagine life without her. It's a sweet spot to be in with a child when you've developed the bond of relationship and knowing each other.

Tashy is developing quickly and loves exploring. She can climb stairs, stand up, sit down and even walk gingerly along furniture. This amazes me since her brother was still just sitting at her age. She even likes to wrestle with him. Just tonight we caught...

She's got skills

Posted by Lisa Newman on Sunday, August 8, 2010, In : 4 months old

Natasha's new skill is learning to put her pacifier in her mouth. I remember Alex figuring it out around this time. She doesn't seem to get as frustrated but is more curious about this little thing. She is also more content to just play in the jumperoo and look at things. She slowly tries to grab the hanging toucan and tree frog from above. And she certainly hands out smiles to anyone who will engage her. Today at church they told us she was such a smiley baby. She's so darling who loves to c...
