quiet times in baby land

fear

it is very hip here in the city to "wrap" your baby, to go natural instead of those bulky baby bjorn carriers. and i admit that the stylish women with their babies so casually attached as they peruse whole foods does have some appeal.



however, this is scary. this is wrong. good lord please don't let one of these creatures cross my path. New York has a frightening image of a "Peekaru" in use in the park. Yet another reason to restrict running to outside central park.

i'm sorry, i can't help but let you into my brain:

total recall

just another day of discovery

lahr is is already disgruntled that she doesn't have her own cell phone. don't worry lyriella there are lots to choose from: baby mobiles



















bibi whispers the truths about the family lahr has joined. lyriella, justifiably horrified.

baby clothes are fun to buy!

lyriella appears happy in papa's arms until...
















subjected to horribly cute strawberry outfit. i tried lahr, i tried. you must learn to love the strawberry.












lyriella acquiesces. for the moment.

more grandparents!

some of the many grandparents

cool and collected grandma raleigh reads lyriella to sleep

lyriella wonders at crazy grandma bartlett. as do we all, lyriella, as do we all.

conspiracies

the sleepingist baby ever.
hmmm.... is this all a scam? is this a cabbage patch doll??

LAHR sees the dr

twins?

or a monkey?

more adorableness

i have a distinct urge to draw a little Lexton goatee... i will restrain

CONGRATULATIONS!

Lyriella sleeps, blissfully unaware that her eyebrows are missing. ;)

After a very long day and night, Lyriella questions if emerging a few days early was such a good idea!
