ILP rolling photo quarantine 2

Sorry about that.

I've heard that but with the teething mixed in and eating solid foods now it all seems so random and unpredictable. I guess I should get used to that.

Also so tired right now that I didn't realize I'd put this in the photo thread, not the parenting thread so apologies for that.

Cecil can't quite crawl yet, but trying results in slowly moving backwards which leads to discovering him randomly stuck under furniture throughout the day.

That happened the other day with our baby and the recliner.

omg Cecil is so fucking cute. Look at that smile! And I stand by my previous compliments re: his eyebrows.

xps

what an excellent baby

Isolde is crawling now, for a while she couldn't figure out what to do with her left leg, so she was dragging it behind her like a wounded soldier

MJ those are fabulous.

sleeve please feel free to post many more pictures of Isolde.

CECIL <3

(he doesn't look too upset about getting stuck ;) )

I knew that had to be yr baby as I scrolled down because she looks so much like E!

They do look almost exactly the same. Sarah has been making comparison shots:

Matilda is not quite as long and skinny as Evie was, and I'm thinking her eyes might stay blue.

Here's a current Evie pic for balance

Those comparison shots are uncannily similar. I also wish the googly eyes on those frog sunglasses had googly eyes which had smaller googly eyes onwards into infinity.

x-post - omg! I noticed it immediately in the first pics but woah that's nuts!

I love her name :)

I love the Evs/Tilda pics. My favorite gals (who are not my daughter).

Ivy is really into making this face and I cannot get enough of it:

Tyler that's fantastic!

And Marin <3<3

Oh look at that face.

And I approve of the classy reading-about-dinosaurs in the park look. Wonderful.

It really is a great picture.

haha, i wonder what a little kid would think of grace jones album artwork...
pretty crazy just in the last few months how sylvie has started reading by herself. a whole new world.

That's awesome. Evie can read a decent number of words but probably not enough to read a book on her own and she doesn't seem very motivated so far to push herself to try and sound words out if she doesn't recognize them right away.

yeah she was pretty much like that til about april and then suddenly was sitting there doing it ... she's still reading aloud, so our house is now constantly filled with the sound of her happily performing old Peanuts strips. "YOU BLOCKHEAD!!"

Here's a video from 3 years ago of my little girl busting some of her first dance moves to the sounds of Reggae Hustle.

Good lord they look like adults.

holy cow!

It's crazy :)

god it seems like a only few months ago i was looking at pics of them as toddlers. so weird seeing all these ilxor kids growing up!!

immortan joe, is that u?

so Marin's been going to a child-minder's 3 days a week since Sarah went back to work a month ago, and it was really rough at first, and drop-offs were teary affairs that were painful to then go off to work from until literally this week - but she seems to have a pretty amazing time while there, and I am loving the pix the child-minder takes of her.

She is *really into books at the moment, too, though rarely patient enough to let me finish reading one to her.

My lord she is so cute.

Are there other kids at the child-minder's? I had a hard time taking Ivy to daycare at first, too, but now she loooooves it and it helps her to be very social and learn to share (although last week she expressed her displeasure that her favorite teacher was paying attention to another kid by biting that kid, so there's still work to be done), which is key since she's an only. So even though it's tough, I think that's a really good benefit to childcare.

Also, and I didn't believe this at first, but it is really nice to have some kid-free time. I'm working, so it's not like I'm getting wasted and watching horror movies or anything, but it's nice to be able to focus on something other than the urgent and inscrutable needs of an 18 month old for a few hours each day.

Yeah, lots of other kids, and she's always been crazy about other kids, so she now has a bunch of older "siblings" to hang with. Also they have lots of food, because Marin is an eater, and I don't think any of you understand just how much of a bottomless pit she is. I picked her up the other day and she gazed into the child-minder's kitchen and started saying "mmmmmm!" because she spotted a fruit bowl with some bananas in it.
