Museum Day

We went to the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History today. Vin enjoyed pointing to everything that caught his eye which was a LOT of things. He just started pointing a week or so ago and now he can tell us what's piquing his interest. Here are a couple of pointing action shots and other museum moments. We bought a annual membership which gives us free entrance to all four Carnegie Museums. Hey, I have to do something to keep myself busy now that I gave up my part-time job.

Play Date!

Yes, I started doing play dates with some of the moms from our Gymboree classes. Yes, I who always made fun of play dates as being a cliche suburban mom activity, have embraced play dates as a great way to get to know other moms and to have the kiddos socialize. Vin was the only boy but he didn't seem to mind.

Christmas Pics!

Our computer died (the hard drive went) so after much $$ and work we are now back online. Here are lots of pictures from our trip to NJ for our annual Pollyanna Christmas party.

Rin meet Vin! Hahahhaha. Okay, I'm tired and silly. Sorry for the bad rhyme there. Anyway, we finally got to meet Rin who is Rhianna's (my cousin on my Dad's side) new little girl! We only had a few minutes with her but she was adorable!

12/23 We had breakfast with Autumn, Michael and little Ms. Ada. They were in town visiting Autumn's folks for the holiday. I'm so glad we got to see them if only for a brief time.

Vin and Ada - I love the look on Ada's face in this picture. As you can see she is making Vin blush from the attention.

Mamas and their babes

Dads and their kiddos (note: they did NOT want to pose for this picture)

Autumn and Vin

Ja and Ada

I love this pic - Ada was "talking" to Vin. Vin was very confused.

Distracted kids

Becoming a little ham!

AIG Laughing Baby Bust-a-Gut Commercial

Okay, because it's an AIG (Jason's company) commercial and because it's adorable I had to share.

Another Pittsburgh Day...

Yes, another cloudy day in Pittsburgh. This like our 20th in a row (at least it feels like it). This is pretty much how it will be until Spring. I did some interesting fact checking and here is the low down on stupid cloudy days in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Weather History: Average annual cloudy days in Pittsburgh: 306.

For fun here are cloudy day stats for some of the cities you blogger fans live in:

Average cloudy days in Seattle, WA: 294
Average cloudy days in Philadelphia: 272
Average cloudy days in Wake Forest, NC: 255
Average cloudy days in LA: 219
Average cloudy days in Savannah: 262
Avearge cloudy days in Daytonna: 268
Average cloudy days in Boston: 267

Yeah, we are the winners here in Pittsburgh for the most cloudy days. Just thought I would make you feel better if you are waking up in a city other than this one. And for our Pittsburgh blogger fans - Hang on spring is coming. Eventually.

Where's the Moon? (book: Goodnight Gorilla)

Okay, so this is cool. I just got this book from the library yesterday and Vin started pointing at all the different things in the picture. He would point and I would say what it is. Then I realized he was starting to remember the word connected to the picture. He doesn't know them all but he does know "moon". His little eyes scan the page until he finds it. So much fun! He's starting to understand!!!
