Six Months Old

































So glad to have this brief moment to update the blog. I often feel guilty that I am not making elaborate scrapbooks for them and that this is my only memento and I cannot even keep it updated! Bryan is playing with Nori, and Charlie is taking a much needed snooze. They will soon clamor for a nighttime bottle but until then I can write away. We had our six month check up a week ago and things are looking good, real good. Charlie is 23 1/2 inches and weighs 9lbs 10 oz, while Nori is 22 1/2 inches and weighs 9 lbs 13 oz. We are eating cereal two to three times a day and we just recently added fruit. Currently, we are on apples. I used to chortle, as I sipped my red wine at half price wine night at The Salt Creek Grill, at the moms searching for organic baby food, chiding them under my breath for sheltering their children from the future realities of the public school cafeteria. Guess who was at Whole Foods last week combing the baby aisle for peaches and pears-I kept my sunglasses on the whole time lest I was spotted by one of those now veteran moms. Next thing you now I will lobbying for soy milk at the elementary school. What has happened to me? Many days I am not sure, but most of the time it is pretty wonderful, or maybe that's the half price organic apple juice talking talking.

Aunt Beth's Photo Shoot

Beth has a lot more experience than I do at baby photo shoots.
Here we are last week hanging with Tyler and Ryan. Tyler was born in May, but I think we look like we are catching up to him.

Please Do Not Feed the Super Models








Nori forgot to eat before a recent photo shoot. Hunger struck without warning after we snapped a few pics. Before the feeding frenzy, Nonna and I did manage to get a few good shots. These pictures are before and after the video. Charlie's expression says it all.
