new games and little friends.

Meredith loves bath time in our new home especially now that it involves her fun new toy: bath crayons (given as a housewarming gift from our sweet neighbor!). These crayons are soooo awesome - draw anywhere on the tub and it washes right off. Meredith thinks they are pretty cool and has been going to town drawing on the tub walls...between a few tastes here and there... :p

Daddy picked up this new toy over the weekend. Just what our little organizer needs - a job to put all the red and yellow circles in there own place - YES!

and...her latest favorite word : "cheese" which pretty much sounds like "eeeeeeeeesssssseeee"

Vincent came over to play this week (remember how little they were back then) - now he's getting close to his first birthday! He and MJ a great time together...Vincent didn't think the camera was as exciting as MJ did. For her, it was good excuse for her to say "eeeeeeessssssseeeeee" a lot! ;)

even though it's MJ's fake smile...we still think it's pretty cute. ;)

two cuties!

On May 5th, Meredith turned 13 months and her sweet little "boy friend", Vincent DeRienzo turned 5 months. Here they are - all smiles, giggles on their special day.

I still can't get over how Meredith reached for Vincent's hand when we sat her next to him - and she held it for all the photos!!

Thanks for taking these sweet photos, Jenna!

Vincent and MJ

This spring, I'm caring for another sweet baby for several weeks. Little Vincent is 3 months old and such a cutie! He and MJ are already quite fond of each other - MJ especially gets excited when he comes, and is always eager to "help" him play with his toys. :)

Meredith loves to sit by him, (every now and then dancing to the music of the play mat) and gently touch his hands and feet.

What a handsome little man!
