Spring is here!

It was warm and sunny last Sunday, so we decided to hang out on the deck for the first time since last summer, when Imogen was obviously much smaller! For comparison's sake...

I see you!

Happy Easter!

This week

A few pics from the week, and a jam session at the end.


With Aunt Emma the morning she left. Thanks again for visiting, even if our parting gift was a terrible cold!

Lending a hand...

Washcloths rule!

Aunt Emma is here for the weekend and captured this great shot in the bathtub tonight.

Neskowin!

We spent the weekend at our favorite spot on the Oregon Coast, Neskowin. It's a sleepy town with a great beach. It's the Burkart's favorite too, and Jen, Thatcher and Wyatt joined us. We ate, the kids played, it only hailed twice and we were treated to several adult and juvenile bald eagles on the beach in front of the house early Sunday. Can't wait to do it again!

Contraptions and Baths

With a teething, cranky baby on our hands, we thought to ourselves, what's a fun distraction for everyone? So naturally, we turned to a recent addition to our house, a contraption that's almost too big to fit in any room: the Rainforest Jumperoo. As you can see in this video, what's important is that she gets a big kick out of it:




After a little Jumperoo fun, it was time for a bath. Imogen also enjoys bath time (the fun/cute comes after the first few seconds):

Matching shirts!

Fortunately, when you're seven months old it's not a fashion faux pas to have the same shirt. It's really cute. This is Imogen's friend Naomi (daughter of our friends Marah and David) at our house Saturday morning. They spend their weekdays together as well at St James.

March, including Nana's visit

Nana came for a quick weekend. We packed a lot in, including a hike to Mt Tabor, Imogen's first vegetable (sweet potatoes, which she loved), a trip to the Portland Art Museum, a visit to W+K and dinner at Jake's.

Nana was treated to Imogen's new tricks: saying "Da da da," and "zzzsss," trying to stay sitting up, and chattering away to us.

Thanks again for coming, Nana!

Hanging Out

Imogen sure enjoys her "Johnny Jump Up!"

Snow Shoeing!

We realized this week that both the seasons of winter and having a small baby are coming to end, so if we were going to go snow shoeing with Imogen, this weekend was one of our last chances! As a result, we woke up at a decent hour this morning, loaded the car, and headed to Trillium Lake on Mt. Hood for some winter fun.

Imogen enjoyed testing out her gear before hitting the road...

Imogen enjoyed herself so much that she fell asleep before we got back to the car...
