Suki on the counter.

Mom and Grace in the kitchen.

I'm experimenting with Aperture, some photo finishing software that was my birthday gift from David. How do you like it so far?

Mom was sick today, so Dad had fun dressing Suki up in little egg shoes.

Grace hangs out with a few of her favorites.

Fun with... guess who?

Suki always has fun in her Bumbo seat.

Sunblock in hand, Grace is ready to head out to the playground.

Grace just loves the swings.

Today we played a game where I held the front of her swing and pulled her up higher and higher until finally my arms were as high over my head as I could raise them. And then I released the swing, telling Grace "I let you go! You're going so high!" And as cheesy as it sounds it made me think of what it will be like in just a short time (because as I'm coming to find, everything in raising a child happens in just a short time) when we do release her into the world lead her own wild and amazing life. This girl is going to go so high.

She really did not believe me that she just could not go in the pool today. Unfortunately, it does not open until Memorial Day.

Suki had such a great time wearing Grace's hat.

David is cracking Grace up here.

And he's making Suki laugh here.

A fun little breakfast.

Smiling Suki with Grace sneaking in the back.

Getting ready to go on our walk.

Down...

...and back.


Grace is unstoppable as she goes down the sidewalk -- she can't even be bothered to look up for a smile.

Grace loves to stand on the little white stones lining our neighbor's walk.

Seeing the sights with Mom.

Grace just loves dandelions and lucky for her, there are plenty of them lately.

Back home on the swing.

Laughing with Dad.

Teaching Grace how to open the door on her own.

Suki in profile.

I put Suki down in the middle middle of the bowling pins and before long...

...Grace had them all out of her way and lined up in a row.

Sisters playing.

Fun with the caterpillar, and even when Grace took it away...

...she was still sweet enough to give it back. Upon request, of course.

This morning I asked Grace to bring Suki a toy -- and along came this deluge.

More fun with the surprise.

Not too happy when I told her we were going to need to move into the next room because the carpet cleaner was on the way.

These two are too cute.

Suki looks up at her sister, who was trying to give her some milk.

I love the look on Grace's face here.

Looking down at her array of toys.

Another picture of a none too pleased Grace -- here she realizes she needs to ask for help getting out of Suki's seat.

Suki loves her dog!

Suki holds her bottle and looks up at Dad.

Fun in her "splashy place." I know what you're thinking, 2 years old and still in the sink? And I say to you, yes. Yes. She is so freaked out washing her hair in the tub and she's too unstable for a shower and she adores the sink. So please, let's all turn our attention away from the sink aspect and focus instead on the adorable chubbiness of this fun loving toddler.

Splashing!

Suki watches Grace, as usual.

Looking a litle startled.

Patting Suki's head. Look how long her hair is getting!

Look at how big Suki's getting!

Both girls get a look at the pins.

Grace surveys the PlayDoh menagerie.

Sweet Suki.
