Helena recently realized she can independently escape from her crib, which has caused much frustration. We initially had to watch the video monitor very closely to make sure she was not hiking a leg up and over the side to escape, but things are better under control and she is almost back to her normal routine. The really exciting news about Helena is that she is now speaking in 3-4 word sentences, with "I NEED more milk" being the first expanded sentence we heard. She is quite the little chatterbox so there is much we don't understand. We do realize that when she is able to be completely understood, Daddy will have a run for his money. (literally!!!)
I have returned to work and other than being tired, things are going well. Michael enjoys his days at the fire station--his days 'off.' I look forward to the weekends when I get a little extra sleep. We all look forward to the time we get to spend together, especially Helena. She is extremely helpful with Sebastian, for a child her age. She excitedly helps by burping him, bringing him a pacifier (if she does not put it in her mouth first we're thrilled!), and throwing away his diapers. She also likes to let us know when he's crying ("baby cry," she says), as if we can't hear the screeching. =)
Here are just a few pictures of our two beloved offspring. Enjoy!
Here's furious
Here's asleep
Here's what we've been seeing the past few days...a smile, perhaps?
The outfit makes his hair look a little reddish??
The soothie pacifier--friend of our children
Helena and Daddy dancing together
Helena being sweet...giving brother kisses
Bathtime/bedtime with just the 3 of us...some nights it goes very well (like this night when I was able to take pictures) other nights it's hairy and ugly!!!
Daddy and his two angels! (see that look Sebastian is giving Helena?)
The Tomaszewski family...by the way, when told to smile for the camera Helena puts her hands up in the air!

I want to know why you look so well rested. =)
And bedtime without extra hands....hairy and ugly here too. I think it's a child's conspiracy.
SO GLAD that you finally updated pictures. Hopefully I'll get our more recent ones up soon. Can't wait to meet him!!!!!!!!
P.S. So glad that you are able to make use of Maddox's clothes. I saw that picture with the Gap onesie and I teared up a little. That was one of my favorite little things on him as an infant. sniff sniff.
