Sabine and Cousin Patrick

Brunch with the Hanlons

Today we had brunch with the Hanlon family. We had a wonderful visit with good food and great company.

Christmas is Finally Here!

" "My Pop Pop's finger might be bigger than mine, but I will figure out a way to get it in my mouth."

"Almost as good as my fingers."

"Let's see if my Nanna will have new upholstry on this sofa after this visit!"

"I will rest up for Santa."

"On second thought. . ."

"I love my Uncle Cato. We both agree that a full head of hair is overrated."

"Mom gave me my first solid food this morning. I don't know quite what to make of it."

"What is this thing everyone keeps calling a spoon? And where is the nipple on this contraption?"

"Nanna and I are getting ready to have a proper breakfast."

"Now THAT's what I'm talking about!"

"Uncle Cato speaks my language. He makes me laugh. I did my best to charm him into coming to my house to play with me after Christmas."

"Me and my peeps."

"My Oma's kisses are better than dessert after dinner."

"I want those keys Patrick! Somebody get this boppy out from under me so I can scoot on over."

"I wanted to sit on Santa's lap, but Uncle John's is much better. And my cousin Patrick is very protective of me."

Working on Tummy Time

"This tummy time business would be easier if my head wasn't so much bigger than the rest of me!"

My Bumbo Chair

"Really mom? I can't face the TV? Darn. . ."

My Ganster Look

"I might be wearing pink, but I am pretty tough and I am sizing you up!"

Bumbo Chair

Sabine is enjoying feeling like a big girl sitting in a proper chair!

Is Sabine Trying to Tell Us Something?

Martin and Sabine

Martin Palmaz, Thomas' friend since childhood, was in town last week for a wedding. We had brunch with him last Sunday in Del Ray. Sabine likes him. And her parents want him to move back to the east coast.

Sad Day at the O'Sheas'

Today Boston College played Virginia Tech for the second year straight in the ACC Championship Game. Sabine rested for the first quarter, confident that our Eagles would do great things.

Sabine wakes up for the touchdown. She is waiting for the call before raising her arms.

A tired baby who decided to stay awake for the game and refused to nap. Her parents reluctantly took her t-shirt off and put her down at 5:00 pm. Dad gave her a cuddle and they both talked about next year.

We are happy for her cousin, little Patrick , who hails from two Tech grads.
