November.  A month late.

I may be late, but I'm catching up pretty fast!  A quick review of some parts of November life.

Preschool picture is still a daily thing around here (well, at least on the days we have preschool).  I thought it would be way harder this year with TWO kids to take pictures of, but it's no big deal and it's something I'm so glad we do!
Picture
Jacky is really into making music with spoons.  Hence the pile of spoons right by him.

It's funny to me how kids can have all the coolest toys in the world, and then they get their hands on a box, and it's the best thing everrrrrr.  I came down from putting the baby down for a nap and just saw feet sticking out of a box.  Of course I told her not to move so I could grab my camera.
Picture
Jacky is still obsessed with Cole.  Still frequently pokes him in the eyes. 
Picture
Cole is growing and growing and growing.  He gets cuter each and every day! 
Picture
He likes his playgym now, so that buys me a few minutes of hands free time!  Until Jacky spots him, that is, because then he wants to lay next to him and touch him and occasionally smother him.... sigh.

Not sure where she learned her posing and her camera faces she makes, but she sure is a little beauty!  This was at a cool park in Berkeley we went to on the most warm beautiful November evening!

I thiiiiiink that boy might be too big for this carseat.  Just maybe.
Picture
Occasionally (very, very occasionally) our bed is made, and this baby is awake and happy, and it's still daylight.  So when that happens, clearly I need to take a few pictures.
Picture
Picture
Riley Bug still adores her baby brother.  She likes that he grabs her hands, and can try to hold things, and that he will suck on her finger if he can get it into his mouth.  She likes to talk to him and sing to him and hold him.  She thinks it's funny that he gets stinky little hands from sucking on them while wearing little scratch mittens.  She pretty much adores him.

So one fall day, i decided the weather was so good, and the leaves were so beautiful, that we NEEDED to go take some pictures.  Mark was less than excited, and we had to wake Jack up from a nap in order to be there before the sun set, and by the time we made it Cole had fallen asleep, so we were kind of a mess.  As usual, Riley was extremely cooperative, and Jacky was completely not into it.
Picture
If I remember correctly, Mark was doing something ridiculous right behind me, which was the ONLY way we were able to get anything but a scowl.
Picture
But pictures of the kids together?? Forget it.  Riley crazy faces, Jack trying to take his shirt off, and Jacky poking Cole right in the eye. Ohhhh well.
Picture
That's why I will continue to hire OTHER photographers to take pictures of my children together.  Much less stressful for me!  Two kids is much more manageable photography wise. ;)
Picture
Picture
One day when I went to go pick Jack up from preschool he was the only kid in his class still wearing his crown.  He was so proud of it and it was so super cute!  He loves preschool so so much, which makes me so happy!
Picture
And then there's Cole... not participating in tummy time.  Zero effort.  Just chillin.
Picture
And again with the attempts at a kid picture.  On Thanksgiving.  Hey at least I got all three kids in the same frame!!
Picture
And when Grandma brings an elf and a Rudolph hat, you obviously have to take pictures. 
Picture
This month Cole has pretty much been a horrible sleeper.  He wants to be held constantly, or he wants to be nursing allll night long. Which pretty much makes my evenings all about baby and keeping him asleep!  This was a late night diaper change on mama's bed.  Just little moments I want to remember.  The little toes.  The swaddle blanket, the phone with the white noise.  This kid loves his white noise! 

As hard as the nights are these days, I know how fast it goes and I'm trying to just soak it all in.  I mean, he's already getting so big!  I swear he was JUST born!
