Funny things Mina says/does

D: Are you going to brush your teeth or what?
M: What

After Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma's:
M: go to MinneSOta? Get a cookie?

Mina saw a whole bucket of teddy bears at the JFK airport.  She happily grabbed one and walked off. We explained that the bears needed to stay with each other.  So, she gave each one a goodby kiss and a hug.

M: I'm a busy guy!

M: I'm a big boy. 

M: Mommy you want a cracker?
R: No thanks
Mina runs to the kitchen and says: Mommy wants a cracker!
Daddy is surprised but he gives her one.
Mina comes running back and hands me a half eaten cracker with a giant grin.
R: Dan, I think you got conned
D: What? Mina did you trick me?!
M: Yes!

M: Holy mokes! 

The Many Faces of Rowan

Rowan is the smiliest little kid.  He worked on figuring out his facial muscles early and then had his first social smile the day he turned six weeks.  He hasn't stopped since.

Early on - cool dude

Adorable

Awwww.  He needed Nani to do some some snuggling and cheering up. 

Steady state 

Fresh faced

There is that smile!

Watching us eat 

In his magic sleepsuit (this thing is really magic.  Rowan was waking up 6-7 times a night, every night and we were about to keel over with exhaustion.  We tried this suit and it provided just enough weight to dampen his automatic newborn reflexes. All of a sudden he woke up just 3 times, and then then the next it was just one!)
