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!

Kiran feeds Amara

Amara: "Are you $%#@ing serious?  You're going to let her feed me?"


Kiran: "Yum, Yum, Sissy!"


Kiran: "I am SUCH a good helper."


Kiran: "Keep your head still, Sissy!"


Amara: "You are SUCH bad parents."

Who wants to have some cereal?!

My beautiful Amara-Bee turned 4 months old today...


...which meant it was time to try some rice cereal for the first time!


Amara-Bee showing what a good eater she is.


"Whoa."


"Spoon, you tell me where my baba is right now, or you're gonna get it."

Out of sequence...

These photos were taken on my birthday. I just didn't get around to posting them until today...


Bumbo

"Spike" does the Bumbo for the first time!

Vegetable Garden

A view of how things have grown. I am amazed!

Kiran's little hand digging up our first radish! I am so excited!


Kiran was a little more reserved about it than I was.


But she was a good sport and tasted it! We did wash it off first, despite what her hands look like. A little dirt on the hands is normal for a bona fide farmer, right?!

Picnic

I was reminded today to live each day like it's your last. Screw the usual evening routine: We had a picnic instead.

Vegetable Garden

Thanks, Aunt Sarah, for the new addition to Kiran's garden! Also, we've learned from last time: We water the garden in a swimmy diaper and no clothes. :-)


My happy little farmer.


Carefully weeding and thinning.


Fetching water.


So nice and neat -- filling her watering can over the pool.


Watering. And wearing Dada's flip flops. We're four weeks into the project and this city kid still doesn't like mulch on her feet!

Memorial Day

Future generations are thankful!


Kiran posing beautifully.


Amara looking sweet, but not being her usual, smiley self. I think this February baby didn't know what to do with high 90's heat!

Kiran soup

Carefully preparing the Kiran soup.

Gracefully sipping.

Tasting.

Delicious!

For Dada

"Dada, I know how much you like to scoop things out of the pool. So, I found all these leaves in the back yard and put them in for you."

Smithsonian Natural History Museum

Dada teaching Kiran about herbivorous dinos.

She loved the little dinos. I love this photo.

Kiran and one of her many new friends in the mammal room.

Amara-bee. Considerably less excited about finding a real zebra to match her car-seat zebra than I was.

Formal family portrait. Amara, Kiran, Richard, and...???
