Happy 10-Month Birthday Oona!

a stairs obsession

Oona is up to hours a day on the stairs.  You just have to make yourself a cup of tea and decide, this is where we'll be hanging out today.  She loves it.

Sorry for the darkness of the room, but we are using a 3-year old point and shoot for video.  Eventually we'll need to get something better.  Either way, you can hear the chatter box.

Something went wrong with video on this one.  It looks very poltergeisty.  

But the avocado is too much fun.

Oona is wearing the first part of her Raggedy Ann outfit for Halloween.  

Keely finished the rest in time for our little party.

oona and i frequently head to the city to meet timon for lunch. one afternoon we decided to be spontaneous (and use some of our accumulated free hotel nights, untouched for months), and stay at the W hotel at union square. a sort of vacation to our old life.

This is the expression on Ojiah's face most of the time. and yes, oona's usually chewing on sticks.

we went apple picking a few weeks back with shannon and the kids. too much fun was had by all, and we all got the flu a few days later. but it was still worth it.

After Charmaine gave me a cute apron/smock dress to use for a pattern, I've been making a few of these for oona. This is one I made before our apple picking trip, and embroidered oak leaves and acorns in honor of fall.

Rachel Rocks!

This is Oona's amazing babysitter, and one of our best friends. Rachel and I have been super good friends since freshman year of high school, and she is THE MOST AMAZING friend to kids. Seriously, look at the smile on Oona's face? She's so happy to get to hang with Rach. Thanks love!

I have been sewing lots of things for Oona lately, but haven't gotten to take photos of many of them. This is the flapper hat I made her, which she is pretty much grown out of.

Oona likes her nap on papa's back. Timon's dad took this photo - thanks Paul!
