Two hands

The below post was made with one hand, thus there are no captions. I am becoming quite adept at using one hand, as the other is often holding a child. The moments when I have both hands free are quite rare but now is one of them so I will quickly sum up the last month and the pictures below.

 1. Thanksgiving with Abuelo

 2. Olivia - 6 weeks old and still loving the cradle swing. (With Sophia, I was always so paranoid - she can't sleep with too much movement, or she'll never sleep, etc. etc. This time? Swing Baby Swing. Shout out to Laurie Baggett lending me the swing and all of the nursery furniture. We need to invest in a large stock of D batteries though. I guess the swing was not intended for 6 hour stretches, we run out of batteries every three days. How did the colonial people ever raise children?)

3. Grand Illumination. Neither grand nor illuminating since 1693 but still very festive and especially exciting as Sophia saw her first fireworks. For the girl who is still thrilled every night for a chance to see the moon the fireworks did not disappoint. We went with our Chapel small groups. Sophia was wearing 13 layers of clothing and could not really move her arms - think A Christmas Story in a stroller.

3. Mommy holding both girls. I'm Every Woman.

4.Olivia - post bath. Why don't they make hooded towels for adults?

5. Sophia modeling her Dora Christmas dress at church on Sunday. There is no shortage of red velor around this house this month.
