Theodore came to visit!! Here Hazel and Theodore are waiting for sponge animals to hatch out of their capsules

Clare with Landry

Theodore (and the rest of us) enjoyed Annie and Hazel’s banana bread muffins

Baby Phoebe with Sutton!

Got to love Landry’s extra skin wrinkles on the back of his head

After a break for lunch the whole gang met up again at a playground

There was sand and water

And Theodore generously shared his new construction vehicles

Triangle play

These kids are well matched for seesawing

Having a blast

Baby meeting baby (Here are their siblings meeting for the first time; each set of babies is separated by almost the exact same number of days!)

Didn’t catch pics of Landry’s first bath but did his second (plight of a second child?) Also Hazel was an active participant both times, as you may be able to surmise from the image

Still wet

Now dry

Hazel’s laundry delivery service was efficient and truly helpful

I aim for a portrait a day until they start adamantly refusing

Writing Grandma Linda a note with her giant flower pen

Today we visited Roger Williams Park Zoo in Rhode Island. It was Landry’s first time across the Massachusetts borders, though we can’t say that he saw much of Rhode Island…

Gaggle of zooers

Elephants are awesome and also a little bit frightening up close

The gibbon did tricks for treats

Carrot cheers (Hazel almost succeeded in turning away from the camera in time)

At home and awake after a long day of zoo and car napping

Trail twirling

Trail taking

Overturned tree climbing

Crown wearing

Baby sleep sitting

We hopped on over to the beach today

Hazel has been here once before but never during the summer

Of course this was shade baby’s first trip to the beach

Our focus on keeping Landry in the shade made Hazel pretty interested in shade tents herself

But not so interested that she couldn’t put me in sand prison

Here’s another of shade baby

And a video

Bounced to sleep

Hazel chose this special spot for Lambie before heading outside to play

We see a bit more of this guy’s eyes lately

We got ice cream with Laura and Peter. Hazel watched some older boys play from tiny chairs

After ice cream we went to a playground

We saw three bunnies running and chasing each other! Here are two of them

At the tiny picnic table at the playground

Baby in the grass

Homemade lemonade popsicle

Family of four on a hay ride at the farm

Someone was very excited (and had done this once before but doesn’t remember)

Super into balance beaming lately

Sibs

Hazel was in charge at her big meeting

Popping a wheelie on our walk to the mailbox

One eye on, one eye off

From late last night. Landry holding hands

Projects galore:

Making birthday cakes with kinetic sand and singing

Glue sticking

Activity booking

Faces galore:

He is getting big

Up close to Landry’s nose birth mark

All together now:

Leaving Cambridge City Hall after picking up Landry’s birth certificate

Two kids, two different activity levels (for now)

Hazel tried and tried to throw the ball high enough to hit the ceiling
