Our little spoon-wielding eater

Timmy on the loose

Timmy decided he was ready to walk last week after a long period of timidly taking steps then dropping to his knees or walking holding on to our finger. It's so fun for all of us...here he is at the park today:

Taco Tuesday

I think everyone who actually reads this blog (if anyone does anymore) already knows, but Pete has taken a new job and will start April 12th. That means he is winding up his current job and he is taking advantage of having a little bit less pressure on him while he can. He got home early last night at 6, in time to have dinner with Timmy and give him a bath. We all enjoyed some fish tacos and it was SO NICE to have a little family dinner (that never happens during the week).

Pete snapped a few photos of Timmy, and I noticed that this week he has really started posing for pictures. He smiles so much his eyes squint and his teeth poke through. I love it. It will be a great time in our lives when we are able to enjoy family dinners regularly, but until then, I am soaking up every wonderful minute of it!

Silly Tired

At night just before Timmy's bed time, he gets super super silly. Sometimes Daddy is lucky enough to make it home from work to enjoy

Sunday Brunch

Sorry for the long absence ... Here is a little of what we've been up to...

Brunch on the weekends is one of our favorite traditions. Last Sunday, we met up with Grandma, Uncle Steven and Uncle Kevin in Long Beach and enjoyed some delicious crepes and omelettes.

The Zoo

Last weekend we took our first trip to San Diego as a family. My best friend from Law School, Lexie, moved down there in August and this was my first time visiting her! I know...bad friend. We went to a delicious Tapas place for dinner and had a gorgeous ocean view in La Jolla for champagne brunch on Sunday, but the best part was the Zoo! We walked there from Bryce's place and spent a sunny afternoon walking all around. There were tons of monkeys and animals I can't remember the names of, but we particularly liked the Hippos, Elephants, Koalas (it was Koalapalooza), and the Lion.

I think we will be heading back soon, we all had fun!
