Must Be Santa

Juliet got some secret baby intel that Mr. Claus was in the neighborhood, so we all went to see him as a family. Luckily one of his elves had a Polaroid Camera and took our picture to capture the moment. We had a great time!

In her room..

I couldn't resist - here are a few from last night showing a close-up, her room (changing table and giraffe), and her stack of books..

 
 
 

Snug on a Snowy Afternoon

Because you can't really see Ms. Juliet's face in the pictures in the earlier post, here's one from a few minutes ago - her napping and swinging. The Christmas tree is lit, the snow is piling up outside - a perfect December Saturday afternoon.

Juliet's First Snow.. and First Trip to the Library

We woke up this morning to the snow falling - the first of season here in D.C. They were big wet flakes and the air was fairly warm so we bundled Juliet up and took a quick walk to the library.

The children's section of the Mount Pleasant library is truly amazing! It covers the entire top floor and has two reading nooks with floor to ceiling murals done by Aurelius Battaglia, one of the story artists for Disney's Pinocchio and Dumbo. There are some great photos and more information here:

We picked up a good selection of board books and there are plenty more where those came from. Ah, the library..

Daddy's Blanket

Juliet has so many blankets, but she's fallen in love with her Daddy's Winnie the Pooh blanket. We're lucky she's a really good sleeper so far.
