Visit from Bampi and Ginna

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Rika’s Dad and Ginna paid us a visit this weekend. It was fun to have them and we appreciated all the help. Addy loves an audience so she enjoyed having them around. Josephine continues to be a big eater and puts frat boys to shame with her belching. We are very impressed that she belches while nursing.

-She has learned several new words this weekend:

Baby (which she emphasizes each sylabel for)

Down

Cheese

-Addy has also become very fond of washing her hands. When she is outside it is a useful incentive to get her to come inside.

-Addy used her potty for the first time this morning. She heard me in the bathroom and Rika asked her if she wanted to sit on the potty she said yes. She came in and I took off her diaper and about two pages into her toilet reading I heard her going pee. We cheered and she seemed really proud. We know we are starting her earl, but she seems to be interested in it.

Josephine has gone out in the world some more and has slept mostly. She is none too fond of the car seat. Hopefully on long trips Addy can entertain her.

We are staying close to home enjoying time with both Jo and Addy together. My mom is here to help out and has been a champ at the dishes, laundry and entertaining Addy. She really came through. Jo has no trouble eating and pretty much only wakes up to accomplish said task. I doubt Rika will look like she had a baby in 2 more days. It is already difficult to tell. I’ll post more when the wee ones are asleep… oh yeah Jo slept through her blood draw today where they poke the heel of her foot to extract blood.

Baby Shower

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

Today our good friends all had a baby shower. Mostly for Rika since she gets stuck with most of that child bearing effort due to evolutionary baggage…I was invited though. We neglected to take photos like bone heads, but got these shots following the event to show Rika’s belly. Thanks to our friends particularly Dave and Tricia for hosting!
