About

First there were Shannon and Chris. Then there was Mystery Dogg. Then there was a little bump we called Baba Ganouj. Now Winnie is here and we’re all so glad.

This is our story, for our friends and family. If you click on the title of an article, you can read the whole story and leave us a comment or two. Most of the photos are from our Flickr account, so you can click on them to view larger versions.

Win embraces her inner rock star as she uses her toy mic to sing along to The Jungle Book.

At least, we hope it will be. Just in case it’s not, Win gets ready for our upcoming trip by modeling her new life jacket.

Snow Day + Hot Chocolate + Movies = Mmmmmmmm

IMG_3188

Her first true blizzard, so Win and I made up some frothy hot chocolate and she drank up her first mug. It was a wow experience, so much so that she had to take a breather after.

(Magical) Safe Keeping

… And she knows right where to put it: straight into her fluffy pink unicorn purse!

All-Access Pass

Win’s first library card.

Winnie Does It!

IMG_3154

That’s all we hear around here these days: “Winnie does it herSELF!” While trying to blow bubbles herSELF, she also drank up a bunch of bubble mix, herSELF.

Work In Progress

Win models the almost-finished hat that Mommy made for her.

Baby’s First Wax

I know she’s a quarter Armenian, but this is ridiculous.

Who It Is?!

IMG_3109.JPG

Whatever’s out there, Win is pretty sure this blue plastic door and the couch cushions will keep her safe and sound.

Fort Win

Turns out Daddy makes a damn fine fort.

Baby Bump

Win said, “Daddy, put bankie in there.” And so, he did.

Win for Life

IMG_3097.JPG

Chris lets Winnie in on the joys of scratch cards. Hopefully she’ll be our new lucky charm. Come on, baby - Mama needs a new pair of boots! For real! I do! My old ones are ripping apart!

Missing Baby

Anyone seen wee Win?

She’s Playing My Song

Win struggles with the g-chord. Keep practicing, honey. You’ll get it.

Baby Bear

IMG_3052.JPG

Win is learning how to “take care” of her friends. They often need protecting, changing, hugging, walking, and, of course, reading.

A Brooklyn Christmas

IMG_3044.JPG

Win sort of likes her new sweater (it has two of her favorite things - a hood and a puppy!).
