Screaming and Giggling

Holidays are a whirlwind, even moreso with a man-cub in tow. Even though I've been taking every other week off for parental leave, we're all super busy (in a good way). I took Jenna to a magic show for her birthday, we celebrated bdays for Brent and Sophie too. We went to a Christmas eve-eve party, hosted Christmas eve, and had Christmas brunch at Jenna's parents house.

Phoebe's 4 month checkup had her above the 90th percentile for all measurements. She's the absolute unit, haha.

All of this with a lot of running, reading, cleaning, losing sleep, taking naps, overeating, and basically burning the candles at both ends. Whew! Mutiple pictures and videos below, saved the best for last!

We discovered Miss Rachel on youtube. She's over the top but Phoebs seems to like her.
Rosie grabbed a girthy stick on today's run.
Phoebe and I have a tradition of watching music videos and she's totally enamored by this live Tool performance from the POV of Danny Carey, the drummer. I highly recommend watching the video.
This is my favorite video of all time. Phoebe laughs fully for the first time and we caught it on video. I've been waiting for this for over 4 months. It warms my heart.
