Photo Bonanza

Believe it or not, we're still alive out here in the hinterlands. It's been rough going in the historic deep freeze we've been enjoying the last week or so, but today we're reveling in the tropical 20's. Just your normal 40 degree swing over the past 48 hours. Ralphie might even get a walk today which is good as he's starting to get, ahem, a tad destructive (see below).

In the meantime, Genevieve has been doing lots of growing, drooling, and playing with daddy. She has her four month appointment on Thursday and the betting is currently open regarding her height and weight percentiles. I hear the average baby is supposed to double their birth weight by six months but our money's on the four month mark.

So here are a boatload-o-pics before the inevitable four month beauty shots next weekend!



Bug feet - a delicacy


Genevieve is going through about half a dozen bibs a day.
I knew we got that high efficiency washer for a reason.



Spending time on the legs - a new favorite!


Kudos to dad for capturing the smile!


Hanging out with Grandpa Maio


Hat? Check. Links? Check. Fingers? Check.


Ralphie's hot stock tip for 2009 - invest in Gerber as mom and dad are single handedly buying them out of pacies.


Here's what I think of tummy time, dad


Two lunkers


Genevieve loves sitting up or standing, and if we try to lay her down she does baby crunches to try to sit up. Maybe she learned some Pilates in the womb.


Dueling tongues


Standing tall!
