Here’s my regular contribution to the ol’ blog. A healthy dose of cuteness, in photos.

Here’s Antonio sleeping in a rather cute position.

And here he is, simply looking cute in the Moby.

Here’s Kyrie walking through the woods in north Idaho.

She looks cute and small standing on a big stump.

After the hike, we went to the lake where the kids had a great time wading and/or swimming.

Kyrie and David tried to keep their clothes dry as they walked into the water.

Eventually I remembered that I had packed a swimsuit for Kyrie.

Antonio and Grandpa hung out together for a while.

We can all agree on that. (Click below for pictures — there are a lot, so I decided to make a cut.)

(more…)

On Tuesday we took a day trip to Seattle. Here are some of the snapshots I got:

On the way there:

In Seattle:

The Seattle Aquarium:

Kyrie saw these fish and said, “I’ve seen that movie!”

Pike’s Place:

And if for some reason these aren’t enough photos of my adorable snugglebug, there are more posted at my photoblog.

These aren’t even close to all of the photos I’ve taken on our trek up to Spokane, but I thought I would share some while I had a little time.

This is the last picture I took in Louisiana, of Kyrie sitting on our front steps of the house we won’t be going back to.

We all took turns driving (just kidding)

At a friend’s house in Oklahoma, playing in the backyard:

I decided to take pictures of my diaper stash today. I tried to get them all clean at the same time, but there are a couple BumGenius ones missing from the collection.

Here’s what I’ve got. I’ve got two Thirsties covers in red and blue, a bummis super snap cover and a prorap cover below that, and then a Dream-Eze AIO (All in one) diaper. I already have prefolds in the covers. Next to all those are my BumGenius One-Size pocket diapers. The pink ones are Kyrie’s (obviously) which she wears at nighttime. They’re on the biggest snap-setting, whereas Antonio’s are still on the smallest. On the bottom of the pic are some prefolds and cloth wipes (aka baby washcloths) that kinda got cut off because they’re not as cute/interesting.

They don’t quite all fit in this drawer…most of them do.

Here’s Antonio modeling the Dream-Eze AIO. I would like these diapers even more if they came in cuter colors.

And here I am at the park with Nio in the moby wrap, sleeping.

Kyrie really truly loves her baby brother. She is trying to give him only the sweetest affection. But Nio looks like he needs rescued.

I didn’t rescue him, though. I just kept taking pictures. As a friend of mine would say, “Poor second child.” It’s so true.

Bonus picture from tonight:

That’s my boy, already working in the kitchen!

(He has eczema — that’s why his skin looks all splotchy, poor guy!)

Here’s the mood Kyrie was in yesterday:
