Ty enjoying the pretty day

Isn't he the sweetest?

I had to take his picture...he was outside our restaurant in Mill Valley.

Charlie the Basset

Look who we met in Golden Gate Park today. Meet Charlie, a 3 month old Basset Hound. He had very similar markings and colors as Samantha, who was our Basset Hound in Louisiana growing up. Charlie had great big feet and beautiful soft ears...And, he still has that great puppy smell. I didn't get a picture of his snarly fourteen year-old Bulldog companion, though.

New windows!

Finally! We finally got new windows in our condo. We are the bottom floor...you can see the old windows right above ours (which will be done soon). Immediately, we have significantly less street noise and we won't have moisture pouring in to our walls when the rainy season starts.

New windows!

Afternoon Nap

Our condo is having new windows installed. Ours were done today, which meant that it was loud. My very nice neighbor let us hang out in her unit...Ty got tiny naps in. But, it was so very bright and he didn't have his bed...but, some nap is better than no nap!

Ty & Lesley - Taking self-portraits

Tim was in the Safeway shopping for the week. Ty and I hung out in the car waiting. To kill time, we took a bunch of "self portraits" in the backseat of the VW.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a very unplanned, but very busy Labor Day weekend. We went wine tasting down in Los Gatos at David Bruce. We hadn't been there in a while. The winery is 5 miles down a very windy hill road, so Tim got to test out the handling in the mini. Ty and I held off tight in the back seat. Funny, we were not the only people wine tasting with babies! But, we appeared to be the only couple hauling out a case of wine in our stroller.

The weather in SF was great, so we tried to get outside as much as possible. We also did a significant amount of loafing and goofing off. I tried to take some self portraits with the three of us. Not too good.

Ty is now six months old! We cannot believe how quickly it has gone. He is now eating cereal and fruits and loving every single bite. We now know for sure that he is really ours! The little guy is also a big talker. We have no idea what he is thinking or trying to say, but he sure is saying and screaming emphatically.

Loving that rattle

Tim sold the Triumph!

We had hoped to have had a leisurely weekend, but Tim had to scramble a little bit to get the Triumph ready to show for sale. Tim has been trying to sell the car for a few months, but we never had anyone show up with the cash. Well, today, the Triumph went home with a new family...and, they paid for the car in cash! Now, it's time to pay off some bills!

We went for a mini hike this afternoon with Ty to try out our new kelty baby carrier. It is great as Ty has a great view of the world!

Catching up on Louisiana pics

I'm finally getting caught up after being home since our trip to Louisiana. My mom gave me a CD of all of the pictures she took while we were with her. Here is the link to all of the pictures. Some of the pics are a little "fogged". That was actually caused by outrageous humidity fogging up my mom's camera.

LA Trip-Aug07

Tummy Time (and sneaking TV)

Out for our daily walk

Ty and I went out for our daily walk today. I ran into Jenny, one of our fellow mothers from our birth class. We walked around with Jenny and her son, Ezra, who is a month older than Ty. We cruised through the new children's park that Ty will soon be able to enjoy!

Plump Ty out strolling

We made it back from Louisiana late last night. After a week in 95-100 degree weather, we are back in our long pants and Ty in his stroller blankets to handle the San Francisco fog. After messing with Ty's sleep and eating schedule all week, we are trying to get back on track. Ty was a little upset last night that we didn't let him sleep with us or nurse all night. Ty seems to have enjoyed some of the Louisiana "food" and put on a few ounces this week. I haven't weighed him in a while, but he is feeling and looking a little heftier.

Ty in his Mickey Mouse costume

Why is Ty dressed like Mickey Mouse? Why not? Doesn't everyone have a Mickey Mouse costume to be worn nowhere near Halloween? The costume is care of Gigi (Nita) and there always a good excuse to take pictures of a baby in a cute costume, right?

More poached eggs

Another pic of Ty with the cups to be used for poaching eggs. Who knew they would make such fun laughs at Ty's expense?

No, they are not green ears

On the long drive home from the beach to Zachary, my mom placed her new kitchen gadget on Ty's head. Yes, those green things are cups for poaching eggs. But, he didn't seem to mind and we were entertained for at least an hour!
