Merry Christmas!  We have lots of pictures to post – but they will have to wait until we have a bit more time.

We park in an alley that is technically a street, as there are a couple apartments whose only street access is this alley. Well, Brookline was doing some maintenance work and had to block off the entry to the alley for about a week. Those of us that park there were given passes to park on a different street for a week. However, it created a potential fire hazard for those few apartments (maybe 6 of them?) as fire trucks wouldn’t be able to access them. Brookline’s solution? Park a fire truck in the alley THE WHOLE WEEK and hire a fireman to hang out with it at all times, just in case. No wonder property taxes in Brookline are so high!

Tommy and Kaya had no interest in getting out of bed this morning. Wish I could have slept in with them!

This is the picture that hangs above the desk in the lactation room at the hospital. I spend many hours thinking about how sweet a picture it is. It’s much better than the collage of women breastfeeding during the 1970’s on the other wall. Fashion not so good back then.

Mom, you might not appreciate this one – but everyone else, how cool is this onesie?

The weather in Boston for the last several days has been just plain awful.  The normally beautiful view of downtown Boston from the 12th floor of the hospital was not so beautiful today.  I never thought I’d say this, but I actually wish for colder weather so this awful cold rain would at least be snow.

We now have to use two washcloths during bathtime – one to actually wash Kaya, and one for her to play with.  This is her playing “I’m a naked gypsy.”

With Daddy: Holds own bottle
With Mommy: Poops in bathtub

Kaya has gotten really cute in the last month or so.  And one of her favorite activities is lying on her playmat and sucking on the low hanging Toucan.  Mmmm stuffed Toucan – it really makes her smile.
