February 14

Mommy's Valentine's Day present this year was having all four cats plus Elise and Clark laying together on the bed JUST long enough for me to take a quick picture... then all of the cats jumped up and the kids started screaming. But for 10 blissful seconds I was able to pretend that my house is an island of peace and tranquility.

Aack! Adorable!



Elise looks less and less like me every day. She's becoming her own little person.



February 10

Baby stack! Elise was in my lap and Clark was in her lap.

Clark gets all excited when you put him in his bouncy seat. He drools like crazy and so we have to put a bib on him. That's the only time he needs a bib. In his bouncer.



Elise loves her light-up toothbrush:

I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you. I'm not-- OH! I touched you!



Ever have one of those dreams where you're just hanging out, playing your keyboard... and then all of a sudden you look down and you aren't wearing any pants?

January 28 and 29

January 28

This picture is funny to me because of what was happening when I took it. I have NO idea why Applesauce chose to lay there next to Clark. Clark was having a serious attack of baby toots. Applesauce kept laying his head on Clark's leg, Clark would fart, Applesauce would sit bolt upright and shake his head, wait a second, then lay back down on Clark's leg. This happened about five times before Applesauce decided that he should find somewhere else to take a catnap.



Elise the comedian. She's a silly, silly girl.



January 29

Elise watching ants.



Sweet baby Clark.
