2011 Thus Far (aka Baby Picture post)

The last couple of weeks have been filled with wedding planning and studying and birthdays! So many birthdays. So far in 2011:

Caroline Pate Polansky 1/1
Mary (me!) 1/24
Iliana Pate 2/14
Momma 2/19
Benjamin Polansky 2/23
Beatrice and Leonora Pate 2/24!

It has been exciting to celebrate them all, although I feel as if I have had enough cake for the rest of the year!
Here are some pictures that I have separated for each child.

Iliana:


Verena:

This was Verena's Birthday card to Grandma. It reads: Dear Grandma, Happy Christmas, Uhoh I mean Birthday. It was SO funny and she was so proud of herself for making a joke. It was great!

Eoin:

I think he looks like Iliana here, staring off into space


This was probably my favorite moment of the night. I was talking to Eoin and asking him if he remembered who Jamie was (Jamie wasn't able to come down for my mom's birthday). He held up his little hand, all wide spread and said, "Jamie give me high five". It was adorable! Then I asked if he liked Jamie and he said, "Yep, and I like you too!" I just want to eat him up!

Beatrice:


Jamie always manages to get his hands on Beatrice. She loves being held by him.

Leonora:
This was such a cute series of pictures. The Flash on the camera kept her eyes wide and interested.

Here Laurel is holding her:

Not too much else to offer. I ordered my wedding ring today and Jamie has almost finalized his. AND we opened a joint bank account! Big step! We celebrated by getting Apple Fritters from the Donut Den. So amazingly delicious.
Hope all is well with everyone! Much Love,
Mary
