Home for the Holidays

The holidays are not only times for celebration, but also for some great photo ops! The first two pictures are from Thanksgiving. The last two are Moira dressed for our church's Advent dinner.


"Oh, boy, Thanksgiving...let's eat!"


We managed to snap a picture while her face was still clean...before the mashed potatoes and cranberries!


"Does this sweater match?"

Our personal favorite. As her Daddy says, "She looks like a little girl!"

Moira's Crib

Even in her sleep, Moira knows how to get into mischief. Pictures can't quite capture the sight of our baby girl sleeping in her crib, feet hanging out of the bars and empty diaper tucked into the blankets beside them. (Good thing she didn't have an accident.) Yet she was under the blankets!

Trouble in the House!

Moira's favorite game is getting into mischief. What a monster!

Video: Phone "Cat Fight"

Of all three cats in our house, Missy is the only one that not only tolerates Moira, but actually seems to seek out her attention. Sometimes, though, the two have to agree to disagree...like over the issue of who exactly gets to play with the phone!

Halloween Pictures

Moira didn't go trick or treating, or attend any All Hallow's Eve parties, but that didn't stop Mommy and Daddy from dressing her up and turning her loose with a (unlit) Jack O'Lantern and some candy!


"What's in here?"


"What's wrong with its face?"


Have pumpkin, will travel.

"Maybe there's something I missed?"

"Can someone fill this thing for me?"

Happy Halloween!

The Funny Things Moira Does

Our Moira is a busy girl, and keeps us constantly entertained with her antics! Here's a sample:


"Moira to Mission Control. Come in, Mission Control."


She did this hersef. I guess she aspires to be in a hair band.


"Mmmmm...lemony."

"What do you mean, it doesn't match my outfit?"

"I'm so hungry, I could eat my toes..."

"Gooooo, Sabres!"

Which one is the backpack?

Video: Gavin Grasshopper Story Time

Mommy and Moira are having a quiet moment reading the new book Grandma Di Salvo just sent, Gavin Grasshopper's Costume. The chirping sound effect scared Moira at first, but now that she's used to it, she loves that little addition to the story.

Our Dancing Queen!

The Most Beautiful Baby

We just love when Moira is having fun. Here are a couple of videos of her laughing and having a good time.
