Buddha belly AND new fluff. A winning combination!

Happy girl!, originally uploaded by jewelmcjem.

Well, at least one anyway. I don’t know how to make this thing post more than one at a time and my blog loads SO slow on hubby’s laptop (IE STINKS!) so I’m just doing the lazy thing and blogging pictures straight from Flickr. Anyway, here’s the Buddha belly herself, Miss Fiona. This is the expression that is on her face 95 percent of the time. She is the happiest baby I have ever seen!!! She wakes up smiling (unless mama takes too long to pick her up) and stays smiling until bedtime (unless mama takes too long to pick her up). Oh, and giggle!!! I’ve got to try to get some video of that. She has the best belly laugh!!!

Water balloons!, originally uploaded by jewelmcjem.

Is this a picture of summer or what? And despite the extremely impish expression, he did NOT get me!!! The kids filled up a cooler with water balloons, with the idea that there would be a grand water balloon fight with all the cousins. Well, that never exactly materialized, but they did have a blast throwing them at each other on the trampoline!!! I’m not sure if that is covered in the safety manual . . .

And he’s off! His favorite thing to do is gun it, brake, throw it in reverse, brake, gun it, brake, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum. We’ll be buying new tires for this thing reeeeeeal soon!

New wheels

And I’ve hardly blogged anything! Well, I just figured out this coolio feature on Flickr, so I’m blogging a few pictures.

A friend from church has a son a year older than Duncan who has lost the training wheels on his bike, so is riding it all the time and neglecting his car. They decided Duncan was just the guy to keep it from getting too lonely. He couldn’t be happier!
