I think the conversation was something like "Jaynie got the duck dressed!"  Yeah - Tweety bath mitts and baby blankets are all the rage this spring.

Jaynie got this purse for Christmas and LOVES it.

Let's see what else is in here...

Here, Dad.  You can have this thing.

HAHA!  YES!  I found my credit card!

Now to hit the stores!

I feel like I'm looking into the future with this one.  Who is this grow-up looking kid?

Why do I keep taking pictures of Jaynie eating?

I don't know. I'll try to work on getting some without food in her mouth.

Speaking of eating...

Here we have both Jaynie and me, feeding our babies.

This kid just gets cuter and cuter each day.

Cheese.

Oh, come on honey. You can do better than that! 

CHEESE!

Jaynie, Baby Aurora, and Jonas lounging in my bed.

Yes, that boy doll's name is now Baby Aurora.  Clearly, Madam watches too much Sleeping Beauty. (AKA "Sleeping Blooty")

I can't help it!  I must take picures!

GASP!  I'm shocked by that, Mom!

Naw - I'm just kidding.

How could you not take my picture?  Look how cute I am!

Snap away, woman.  These cheeks need to be preserved on film!

We went to a kiddie Valentine party and these are the only 2 pictures I managed to take.

Jaynie eating rice crispie treat and goldfish crackers.  Oh, well.  If you ask her about the party she'll just tell you about that treat anyway.  Apparently, it was the highlight.

More of Jaynie eating.

Really, Mom.  The people at home are going to think I just snack all day long (she does.  Maybe this is the problem - she's never NOT eating.)

Oh my good LORD!  Look how cute this kid is!

Be sure to get my good side, Mom.

Oh what am I saying?  They're both good sides!

I am, after all, the HeartBreaker.

Look out, ladies.

Uh, oh.  The HeartBreaker seems to be getting agitated.

That did the trick.

Hey, kids?  Could you get a little closer together please?

Um, maybe one without a yawn?

I took about 300 pictures of them - this was the best one.  Oh well.

Whoa.  I'd forgotten how ginormous my head looks next to a newborn's.

Come here, Jaynie...

Ah, yes.  That's better.

There we go.  Me and my babies.  I put make-up on for this, so enjoy it.

If you look closely, you will see that Madam is still in the picture.  She's just trying to hide behind my enormous head.

Hey Jonas!  Got milk?

"Oh yeah, baby.  I got milk!"  (Look at that facial expression!  That is one smug baby.  "You bet I got milk!  I get milk whenever I want it!  Hah!")

Whoa!

Look at this mess!

Finger painting is sooo cool!

Look, Daddy, look!  Mommy's letting me get all dirty!

She takes a quick break from painting to pose for the camera.

The whole family got into the action.  Jonas was especially thrilled to be a part of it.

Eskimo kisses are even better when green paint is involved.

When we came inside, Madam refused to take her coat off.

I guess I should consider cranking the thermostat up a few notches.

Jonas doesn't seem bothered by the "cold".

Sleeping peacefully in his chair.

Flashing a special message to his Aunty Suz.

Ooh!  Baby stretches!

Hey, you with the camera - GO AWAY!  I'm sleeping here!

She totally used to fit in this chair.

No, really.  I have proof. 

Oh, hi Mommy!

"I'm playing with Baby Jonas's toys!"

CHEEESE!

Yay!  More fun with paint!

"Lookit all the colors, Mommy!"

If that's not a kid planning to cause trouble, I don't know who is.  Look at that face!

I don't know what you're talking about, Mom.  What trouble could I possible cause? 

Now - how about you run to the bathroom for a few minutes and leave me alone with the paint?  What?  You can trust me! 

Tea party in Jaynie's room!  Everyone's invited!

Even her baby brother!

Doesn't he look thrilled?

I love that they both had to have bibs on for this party.

Pretend tea can get pretty messy, don't you know.

Bath pictures!

Just when you thought baths couldn't get any cuter!

Now there's double the fun!

She sure loves her baby brother.

Bath kisses! These kids are so delicious.

Speaking of delicious.

Look at this little squirt!

How yummy is he?

Oh, it's you again.

Look, Mom, I'm really not in the mood to have my picture taken right now.

I claw my face in protest.

Owww!  Look what you made me do!

Yaaawn.  All this whining can really take it out of you.

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Hee hee!

Whoa.  I just had the weirdest dream...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wha?  No - I'm up.  I was just resting my eyes!  Jeez.

Bundled up for the snow, and NOT happy about it.

SNOW!!!

Huh.  This means that there's a video out there of me taking pictures.

Jaynie LOVED playing in the snow.

Jonas was less impressed.

He doesn't know what he's missing!  This is great!

Forget catching snowflakes on your tongue.

Jaynie has a much more efficient way of consuming it.

"I can't put my arms down!"

Hey.  That wasn't funny, Mommy.

I'm just going to walk over here and look for another big ice chunk...

Oooohh.  found one.

Look at that pink nose.  Almost time to go inside.

Whatever!  I'm never going back inside!

It's waaaaay too much fun out here!

I passed off the baby to his Dad.

He slept through the transaction.  Guess all that screaming earlier really wore him out.

And that was our snow adventure, 2006. =)

Holy COW!

Mommy, did you know about this stuff before, and just not tell me?

It's ok, I forgive you!

How can I hold a grudge, when there's pudding to eat?

OMG - soooo good!

It should be mentioned that she got this pudding as a reward for using the potty.

Do I know how to motivate a kid or what? 

Come on, buddy.  Just one little smile for the camera?

Pleeease?  It would mean so much to me if you'd let me capture that handsome smile of yours on film!

Yay!  There it is, folks.  First photographed smile.  =)

Whaaaat is going on here?

Huh?  Oh, nothing. I'm just snuggling George.

(Whether he likes it or not.)

Caught in the act.

Slow dancing with Elmo.

Yes, we're dancing.  You wanna make something of it?

"Look at Mommy, Elmo!  Smile, Elmo!"

Time for some reading.

I'd like to take this opportunity to make it clear that I did not do her hair.  She did this all on her own.

Well SOMEBODY had to do my hair, Mommy.  Jeesh - you haven't even gotten me out of my pajamas yet!

Ok, Elmo, time to read a book.

See the pig, Elmo?  P-I-G - pig!

It's kind of short on plot, but the pictures are nice,  huh!

At this point, I'm surprised the pics came out at all.

I would think they would all be blurry, because I was laughing so hard the camera was shaking all over the place.

She's holding Elmo up with one hand, and turning the pages with the other.

And in this way, she is "sitting on his lap" while reading him a story.

"Goodnight, moon.  Goodnight light and the red balloon....."

Hey! Isn't that MY robe?

What? This old thing?

If it used to be yours, it isn't anymore!  Ha!

Before the people from PETA start calling...

I should tell you that George was actually purring during all of this.

Well - until this part, where she yelled "Look at Mommy, George!  Smile, George!" and turned his head towards me...

Oooh.  Yummy yummy baby in my bed!

How cute is this outfit?  Check out the feet!

We put Jonas in the swing, just to see if he'd like it.

He didn't seem as impressed as Jaynie always was.  Which was good, because later that day I sold it for $50 at a consignment sale. =)

Back at the Children's Museum of Memphis, and having a blast.

Say "AAAAAAAAHH"!  You know, you really shouldn't neglect your gums like this..."

Who wants to ride a rocking horse?

Rocking giraffes are definitely the way to go!

Woo!  Look at those good looking fire-fighters!

Don't worry, folks.  Help has arrived.

I don't know if I can take a paramedic in pink socks and mary janes seriously.
