Football!!

Our lineup is looking better than the actual Giants' lineup....

...Especially our rookie...

...Who can tackle players 3x her weight!

She's also a bit more impressed with the Giants' performance than her father or Eggo.

Fans.

Learning to hand off.  [By the way, all the really hard core players also have Dora band-aids].

Practicing tackles (yikes!).

Spinach night!

Richard is always telling me that my ideas of fun are really different than everyone else's.  I think this might be what he's talking about...

Friday night is spinach night!

Kiran made a spinach pizza and Amara had a lovely puree.

Peaches

...Goin' to the country...
...Gonna eat a lot of peaches...

Labor day may be the unofficial end of the summer, but we're going to keep it going for a little longer with some home-made peach frozen yogurt!

Fashion Models

My ladies were looking fabulous in their accessories today.  And I love that I caught two of their little mannerisms: Kiran with her proud shoulder shrug and Amara with her two-finger "binkie."

Purple haircut / Eat a Dinosaur

When I asked Kiran what she wanted to do while I was home from work with her, she told me she wanted a "purple haircut" and "to eat a dinosaur." Done and done.

Coloring

Coloring is, without a doubt, my favorite thing to do with kids.  Today, Kiran and Amara did it TOGETHER.  My heart nearly exploded.  Especially when Kiran insisted on doing it "on my belly like Sissy!"

I believe Kiran was drawing "Amara-Bay-Beeee" in this one.

Amara eating a crayon while Kiran carefully selects her colors.

"No eatin' crayons, Baby!"

Hard at work on their joint masterpiece.

Detail work.

No, I couldn't take enough pictures...

One more...

Amara alone, since it's her first time coloring.  [Must document EVERYTHING...].

...And, knocking over the box.  :-)  Crayons everywhere!!  That's the end of coloring for today.  [Why do my activities always end this way?!]

Amara's Baptism

Amara looking adorable in her Christening gown (also my Christening gown, and Kiran's).  Photos taken on July 2nd.

From July 4th

Amara in the snaucer (I believe for the first time).

Backward in time...

These photos are from Sunday, August 21st.  This is the first time Kiran and Amara ever really played together with the same toys on the floor.

A month!

It's been nearly a month since I last posted...which means that Amara-Bee is already almost 6 months old.  She had her first taste of broccoli tonight and loved it!  She ate the whole bowl!

Meanwhile, Kiran wasn't managing to be much cleaner with her cottage cheese...

Five months

Amara-Bee is five months old today!

Tuckered out!

Poor little thing played hard in her saucer and then fell asleep standing up!

Artsy One

Because I can't help myself.

New swingset!
