Here's a recent pic of me, at 15wks (about 3.5 months along). I look about like I did with Ant 6-8 weeks further along...
And here's Fwed!
Yes, s/he does have legs, they just didn't show up in the first pic.

Antony, 18months.
I just finished putting together my quarterly photo album of Ant pictures. I tried emailing it to the family as usual, but got lots of returned emails. So I figured I'd post it here instead/as well. Check them out!. I had lots of fun picking the pictures and adding captions, as usual!

Posing for the paparazzi
Give a three-year-old a pair of sunglasses and this is what you get:
Remember "Walk Like an Egyptian?" I think Sarah is channelling The Bangles. And Jess definitely has some kind of Marilyn thing going. I disclaim any responsibility for wherever she learned that pose...
It was Amy's birthday on Sunday but I forgot my camera -- so here is one of Grandpa David's pics from last Tuesday:
They're not always *quite* so pink, but the three cousins do play very wonderfully together, especially now that Sarah and Amy's imaginative play is really taking off. They play endless games of "I'm the mommy, you're the baby, you're the big sister". It gives me a nice warm snuggly feeling to watch.
PS Happy belated birthdays to Nicola and Kate!! Sorry for being so tardy -- hope you both had fabulous days.

Happy Birthday to me.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone (here and on facebook :-)
I think Kate is next on Feb 16, then Ann on Feb 18. Anyone else with a bday coming up soon?
Mark asked me a few days before what I wanted. I said, "I would like Antony to say 'Happy Birthday Mommy!'." Since he says "Happy Birthday George" at the end of a Curious George story about George's birthday surprise that we read a lot, I thought it wasn't too much of a stretch. They went out on Saturday to get me a birthday cake, and apparently mark was talking about it as they were walking through the store, because they came home, and Ant said "Happy Buhrday, Mommy", a couple of times. With no prompting whatsoever. Totally made me teary :-) Then when he woke up on Sunday morning, my actual birthday, and was chatting to himself in the crib, he was saying it again. I really couldn't ask for a better birthday present!
I took a video of him saying it this evening. Clearly not unprompted. And then we go on to have some more fun :-)

Kapanakis Update
Ok, I figure Nic cant *always* post for me... Oh, and I swear, I didnt let Sami actually drink any of the Jack Daneils, really...
Here's the whole clan:-)
As for Sami, she has finally decided that it is much better to be nice to Christopher and get praised instead of being nasty and getting put in time out. So all is good on that front. Her language is developing at an amazing pace. She can repeat *anything* you say to her (be careful, Billy!!) and has an incredible vocabulary. It is so much fun to have real conversations with her. She is such a fun little girl. I wont say that we dont have any terrible two episodes, but for the most part she's a great little girl and I really love being a mom these days. I dont have any other pics of her to upload right now due mainly to her habit of removing all her clothes just as I pull out the camera. I have a wonderful series of self portraits of the little photographer, but I wont bore you with those:-)

Christopher is only 7 weeks old in this pic - can you believe it?!?
Christopher is packing on the pounds like nobody’s business. He’s got to be over 17 lbs now and probably over 26 inches. We seem to have settled into a pretty good schedule, although I would like him to go to one feeding a night instead of two, but I suppose to sustain the chubby little boy (as Sami has taken to calling him) he needs the extra calories! Oh well, it will all come in good time. Most nights he goes to bed right after Sami, at around 7pm and then sleeps (with his two feedings) until 6:30 or 7. He’s a really good, laid back baby which is so nice considering that mistress Sami is quite demanding these days. We’re getting lots of smiles, gurgling and cooing, but have yet to get a real laugh out of him. No rolling over yet, probably because I am bad about putting him on his tummy because he complains about it.
