Nana and Pop visit, Rosie's Christening

 

Showing off her big ballet skirt.

 

And there are so many different ways to wear it!

 

Paying close attention during ballet class (Nana got to sneak a peek through a window).

 

Trying out Rosie new snuggly blanket.

 

Learning all about pumpkin carving.

 

Pre-Christening photo.

 

And then a post ceremony photo with the grandparents.

 

Mary was excited for all the treats.

 

Someone is ticklish :-).

 

The party girl was pooped.

 

Watching tv together.

Me and the girls

 

Me and my girls.

  

A little more space than she needs, but who cares?

 

 

Sonja doesn't see a reason to take the label "lipstick" literally.

 

Mary was eager to show her the correct way, though. 

Tummy time

 

 Mary wanted to keep Rosie company.

Cheering her on when it got tough: "Go Rosie, go!"

  

At least someone is having fun.

 

Once Rosie got a break Mary thought it was a good time to show off her stickers from Amma.

A few randoms

 

Watching Iceland play Switzerland in soccer.

 

Sunday morning at the beach.

 

Snack time at the beach. I forget why Mary took her boots off.

 

Snoozing on Mama.

 

It's hard not to watch her sleep now that we have a video monitor :-).

 

All bundled up for a walk.

Weekend pictures

 

Watching the Nutcracker.

 

A portrait of Mama.

 

Cheering on Rosie during tummy time.

 

Then trying to cheer her up afterwards :-).

 

Mary was convinced she could fit into the stroller bassinet.

I asked her to pose and this is what she came up with. Not bad.

New school pictures

 

Thumbs up!

 

Looks like some serious building is taking place.

 

Driving with someone standing on the windshield doesn't seem very safe.

 

Chauffeuring her cousin Anna Maria around :-).

 

Someone likes play dough.

 

Playing with the foam blocks is one of Mary's favorite activities.

 

Hanging out in the new "house" on the playground.

 

Some swinging action.

 

Holding hands...with a boy! Not sure if we're ready for this.

The psychedelic giraffe makes a comeback

 

We brought out the psychedelic giraffe Mary used to play with and Rosie was eager to tell him all about her day.

  

Cuddling with Amma.

 

Rosie loves to throw her head back and look around. It seems impractical, but it's hard to convince a newborn of that.

 

Mary doesn't want to go anywhere without her new nail polish.
