{p,h,f,r} What we have been learning...

The kids have been given a reprieve from the bulk of their schoolwork since Cupcake arrived. It's why we started early back over the summer. But that doesn't mean we aren't learning things like:
{pretty}
How to hold a pretty baby


{happy}
Proper happy snuggling techniques


{funny}
How to accessorize your baby and...

 that some babies don't like to wake up and find they've been accessorized.


{real}

Why in the world mommy has a mini-megaphone. BigBoy came up with that one. The Professor thought it looked more like an air horn. At least nobody guessed sonic freeze ray!

Right now,  I'm learning that it's really hard to wait for airplanes to arrive!

    Air horn? Mini-megaphone? I actually used my first breast pump to unclog a kitchen sink! ;)

    Baby looks adorable--can't wait to see her!!

    So beautiful!
    When I see that last picture I shudder thinking about how many times my toddlers have turned the pump to maximum - "turning it to 11!"
