A few Lucy pictures to tide you over until we post a proper update

Here is Lucy.

She can be a tough audience.

Don't be fooled by her serious expressions above. We get a lot of these too:

Can you believe the little sister is already two months old? She is clocking in at 12 pounds and 6 ounces and is now 23 inches long. Oliver recently celebrated a birthday, more on that to come!

Oliver is ready for Halloween

Frankenstein, er, I mean Oliver had a bit of a mishap this morning that resulted in a trip to the ER.

It took 3 1/2 grown-ups to get the numbing gel on his eyebrow, a backboard with industrial-grade Velcro (and a few more adults), one suture nurse, 2 internal stitches and 12 regular stitches to sew his eyebrow back together.

Lucy's first bath

It turns out that Lucy enjoys a nice baby jacuzzi.

My job was to wash her hair.

She liked it.

We like to make bathtime a family event around here. I wonder how many more people we could cram in this tiny bathroom?

While Lucy bathed, Oliver brushed his "teef" - he would brush them seventeen times a day if given the opportunity. He's not too picky about which toothbrush he uses, I believe that one belongs to mom.

Too soon, bathtime was over for Lucy.

Thus concludes another successful Baby Jacuzzi!

More about the baby sister

We named her Lucy Paige. She was born at 8:37 am on 09/09/09. She was 8.0 pounds even, a real pipsqueak compared to me and Oliver, and 21 1/4 inches long.

In no particular order, here are some pictures of the baby sister on her birth day:

A little afternoon art

Today after lunchtime (and a stripdown for Oliver due to a PBJ incident), we did some art on our double-sided easel.
Oliver got to work on his side.

And this is me on my side.
Our painting styles are a little bit different.

This next photo accurately illustrates our differences in technique:
Oliver is about enthusiasm, I'm about precision.

Oliver thought I might give him a few pointers.
This is how I check my hands for proper distribution of the four fingerpaint colors.

Oliver enjoyed posing near his masterpiece.
Turns out he put as much paint on his body as he did on his newsprint.

Then he decided to charge the camera.
You'd be surprised at how fast my mom can move when there is a paint-covered toddler coming right at her.

I have a little more restraint and just showed off my messy hands.
Impressive, no?

And finally, my own pièce de résistance.
I call it "Handprints of Many Colors."

Oliver vs. PBJ

Oliver likes a good PBJ sandwich.
Yum!

Oh my!
How embarrassing to be covered in peanut butter!

Are you ready for round 2? Or round 4?
This is how Oliver says cheese.

Here's a sneak peek at Oliver's new molars.
And some peanut butter.

Take that, peanut butter sandwich!
Oliver will defeat you tomorrow as well!

I am much neater about eating my peanut butter sandwiches and am usually photo-ready after a quick wash of the hands.
That's all for now!

First Haircut

We took Oliver to the neighborhood barber shop for a little trim.

He was surprisingly well-behaved while Kris cleaned up his baby mullet.

Toward the end of the haircut, she had to chase him around with the scissors and the clippers.

Despite his activity level, Oliver did not lose an earlobe and his hair appears to be the same length on both sides. Kris earned a hefty tip for her efforts, we think she probably needed a good nap after we left too.

Preschool "Graduation"

My preschool had a graduation ceremony to celebrate the end of our school year.

They have a special program where the kids all line up against the wall and sing songs. By the end of the year, most of us are a little better at performing and we actually sing instead of standing there like a bunch of deer caught in headlights.
