Osker the Brat

This is why nothing grows in my window planter...


And this is why the birds stay away from our feeders...

cheeks mcgee

The Cheeks go for a car ride.


Note the drool dripping off the chin... the chin is hiding between the cheeks, look closely, you'll find it.


Most patient cat ever.


Shovelling the porch with cheek power.


Pajama Party!



PS. Happy Boxing Day.

Updates

Wholy Pants! It's been a long time since I posted any pictures. Bad Mommy, Bad!
Eva is almost 8 months old and SO much has happened....

TEETH! She has five! The first took it's sweet time coming in, the second came a little quicker, then 3, 4 and 5 cut through on the same day. But she still won't let me get a picture of them.

She can crawl. She started really zipping around just after Halloween, at six months old. She is hilarious when she gets going. Her left foot stays flat on the ground, with the knee jutting out to the side. It's like her left foot wants to walk, but the rest of her limbs are still trying to crawl. She also keeps her elbows locked straight and her head down so she can't see where she's going.

She can stand herself up very easily. Her little legs are so strong that she doesn't need to pull herself up with her arms, she just has to stabilize herself, since she is pretty wobbly still. She can take a few steps while holding onto the edge of furniture. And she can "walk" on her knees while pushing a soup pot around in front of her.
Eva, Brody and the soup pot.


We went to visit The Walkers in Vermont for Thanksgiving and everyone had a lovely time.

Eva and cousin Graham.

The weather has turned very cold and we've had a stable two or three inches of snow on the ground for about a week. It will last until April so I'm trying to be positive about it. Eva loves going outside and she is darn cute all bundled up. She has the BEST boots brought back from Mongolia by our friend Chloe. They're a bit big on her yet, but I'm sure they keep her toes warm.

A little unsure of her winter boots.


I think that's all for now. Clumsy me broke BOTH our cameras this month, so no more photos until the new camera arrives in the mail. Hopefully Monday!
