Baby Brother's First Hand Me Down Dress

This is the first dress I ever wore. Now I am letting my baby brother E wear it.  The sweater and the dress were picked out (for Leah) by my Aunt Ann. Thanks for that.

Bath Time

Dear Mama,
So how's work. I know it was probably a hard adjustment back. It was for me too. Now that I am back at Leah's house we can resume our reports on the torture. Here's what we did so far today.

Leah cried a lot. Then The Picture Lady left and came back with a burrito. I'm thinking, yummy, burritos for lunch. Nope. A stupid hot dog. Don't get me wrong, I like hot dogs as much as the next guy but that's like promising someone to go to the circus and then taking them to the grocery store instead.

I thought things would be better since Mr. Picture Lady was forced to supervise on Tuesday's and E started coming so I had more people on my side. Leah is nice and all but her world revolves around The Picture Lady. But it turns out that Mr. Picture Lady and E are soulmates and spend virtually all of their time together leaving me in the incapable hands his wife.

So after lunch, which I didn't eat, we had a bath. Leah has a lot of bath toys. She even has a boat that actually sails the bathtub seas. This, so far, has been the only upside of the day.

Leah and I in the bath. It wasn't supposed to have any naughty bits but Leah refuses to sit up in the bathtub.




E sleeps a lot.

Love,

H

Leah's Who Lunch

Dear Faunty Emily and Toddler H,

I have learned a lot of things this week with Toddler H home and not at Faunty Liz's. For example, I learned that I am great at breaking into blogs and taking them over. Wha ha ha....so today this is not T Days this is Leee-days!

Since Toddler H isn't here, Faunty Liz takes me to the pool everyday and I get to float in the water and splash. I am getting quite good at it. I take my swimming very seriously. Faunty Liz says that if H were here this week that she wouldn't be able to take me swimming because she can't handle two babies all by herself.I had a very big day today. After a morning of swimming and a quick nap, Faunty Liz took me to get the oil changed in her car. For an outing, I have to say that it was pretty boring and quite a let down. I mean, I had to go all the way down stairs and get in the stupid car seat to ride all the way to sit in a stinky room for thirty minutes. After that I started to question Faunty Liz's idea of a good time. Lucky for her and her street cred, things started up for her when she took me to lunch at Panera Bread. I got to eat bread, small bits of chip, muffin, and baby jar peas. That was a super good time because I like to eat and watch all of the people come and go. Then Faunty Liz told me that it was "Spoil Baby Leah Day" and we went to Target. I have to tell you Toddler H that you missed out because I came out w/ quite the booty of toys.

I haven't decided if I am going to let Toddler H play w/ my new toys or give him the stink eye if he touches them and lift his hand and move it away. Does that sound familiar Toddler H?


Faunty Liz says that I need to fit in when I go to Portland next week, so I got some Hippy outfits. I am super excited to see all of my cousins in style.

My big day continued when I picked up Auntie Ali and Uncle Scott and took them to the airport. I got very tired on the way and Auntie Ali had to sing me the horsie song and Uncle Scott had to find my bottle and binky. Faunty Liz sang me "Yellow Submarine" all the way home because I really liked it. By the time I got back to Faunty Liz's apartment I was sound asleep. I was quite happy to get in the house and go right back to sleep. Even in sleeping, my big day wasn't over. Faunty Liz painted my toe nails while I slept in the swing. Now I have groovy green toes.

Since this is Toddler H's blog, I guess I should show you some pictures of him. Here are some images of him from last week. We got to go swimming because Faunty Lis had help when Cousin Lucinda was visiting. Toddler H got his hair styled in a Mohawk when we went swimming. Don't you think he looks TUFF?
Another thing that I learned is that I totally rock the mohawk way harder than Toddler H.

It's a good thing that Toddler H is forgetful and left his sunglasses in the swim bag. That way I could really chill out daddio.


Well that's all for now intermanets. I'm just a baby and this is a long blog.....my fingers are tired.
Lots of love-
Baby Leah

I'm In Love with the Good Picture Lady

Dear Mama,

I'm in love with the good picture lady. I'm thinking of petitioning our local government to see about changing the marriage laws in our state to include babies. Mama, she's a beautiful angel who smells like sweet perfume and Cheerwine. When I woke up from my nap she was just there and my heart jumped a little. I was a white hot mess today and she still loved me. I think she might secretly be Glinda the good witch.

She has this giant fancy camera. She won't let me touch it, but she let me pose as much as I wanted. I climbed all over this chair trying out every pose I could think of. She told me just to work it and I did! I felt like a rock star, which you would think it would be hard because of all the snot dripping out of my nose.

Oh the sweet music of the good picture lady. She played the old picture lady's piano and sang me songs. Songs about me, songs about Christmas, and silly songs about silly things. She even kept singing to me after I wiped my nose all over her shirt. Isn't she divine Mama? I sang too, and danced all over the room. It was fantastic. I think I wanna be a Donnie Osmond when I grow up. Mama did you know that Leah's related to Donnie Osmond? Maybe she can put his people in touch with my people. That's you, you're my people.

Murphy's such a fool. She just stared out the window and shook in anticipation of the old picture lady coming home. Doesn't she know that the old picture lady sucks? I tried to tell her, but she wouldn't listen. In fact she wouldn't even come near me until I started throwing tortilla pieces at her. What does she know anyway?

Leah had to get her picture taken too because she was wearing English clothes from her fauntie Sarah B. in England. She was really annoyed about it at first, but she warmed up after I showed her how to pose like a pro. She appreciated me taking her under my wing like that. That Leah has a lot to learn, good thing I'm here to teach her stuff. Can I say Mama, that the English think they're so much better than us because they have Madonna now, but they're so wrong. Leah tells me Sarah B. likes mericans though, she studied them in college and writes our congress women and men for fun. I get it, because we're awesome.

So I wish I could see the good picture lady everyday, but she's always sick and busy. Someday we'll be together. I love her.

Love H

I Love Murphy, She Hates Me, We're a Happy Family


Dear Mama,


Now that Jack Jack is gonzo Murphy stays inside all day long. She is always good for a laugh so I don't mind having her around but let me tell you how she feels about me. I get to have snacks at a level that she believes is reserved only for her. She believes that if it is not high on a table, it's fair game for everyone. Well the picture lady put some crackers on the ottoman for me to eat and yelled at Murphy to stay out of it. She thought this meant EVERYONE. Every time I went to get a cracker she growled at me and barked at me. This resulted in her having to spend the entire day with the picture lady. So much for freedom.
Love,
H
