Heather, Chris, Joshua, Alyssa, & Emily: April 2011

Smiley Alyssa...

Here are a few photos of Alyssa just hanging out and smiling for the camera!

Look at that frizzy hair!

That Mommy will say anything for a smile ;)

Cute smiles!

Look at those legs!!

She's doing her impression of Genie...

What's that foot doing up there on your cheek?!

Joshua has been attending gymnastics class for the past several months. Since it takes place on Thursday mornings, Dad has never been able to go. Well Dad finally had some time off work and had a chance to go check things out. Here are some pictures of Joshua the gymnast hard at work!

Jumping into the pit of foam squares with Dad

Look alive, Dad!!

It was surprisingly difficult to climb out of there...

Climbing up and sliding down on an obstacle course...

Look at that intense concentration! He gets the lucky tongue from his Dad!

He was moving too fast in the rest of his routine to get a picture... they were all blurry! We had to settle for this one at the end. Needless to say, he scored a perfect 10!

Great balance! And no, he's not actually touching that woman's behind... she's off to the side ;)

More climbing...

Jump!

Taking a breather and listening to Coach Dan...

Naked Baby!

Every night before bath when Alyssa is at her wits end we let her roll around naked on the blanket. As you can see, she loves it and it puts her in a good mood for her bath. Here are some pictures before and after bathtime.

Nothing like being in your birthday suit to put you in a good mood!

Drool...

Look Mom, no hands!

Clean baby!

Awww...

Time to get ready for bed...

Outdoors in Seattle

The temperatures are starting to heat up in Seattle, albeit slowly. Here are some pictures from some outdoor time.

Picnic in the park...

Run, run, run!

Fall down... on a manhole cover... not sure why...

Cozy in the stroller...

Daddy hiding and scaring Joshua...

Ditto...

Making friends with a cat...

Mommy and Alyssa...

Jumperoo!

Yes, it is the return of the Jumperoo! It made its way back on the scene earlier this month. Alyssa has taken quite a liking to it. She seems to enjoy the independence...

Hmmm... hundreds of dollars for an anesthesiology text and look where we're at...

I could get used to this!

Jumperoo!!

Looking good!

Smirk...

Pretty blue eyes... for now...

Now really, what do you think of all these pictures?

No more books at this point... just tippy toes...

The Children's Museum of Seattle!

Grandma and Grandpa recently visited us in Seattle. We spent one Sunday afternoon at the Children's Museum checking out all the exhibits. Here are some photos...

Up and down...
