Warp speed

Whoa time is flying by & I am WAY behind on ye olde blogge. Turns out that there's not a whole lot of spare time when caring for an infant! Here's a bunch of pics from the past couple of months. I had intentions of writing little captions and creating little groups, but well, it ain't happening this time around. Enjoy the cute factor!

Emalee had us over for dinner & to hear of her adventures to Argentina.

Strolling to Gladstone Cafe for pizza

Z has taken to the bike trailer pretty quickly. At first he wasn't so sure...
..but then decided it was pretty cool!
Still life with panda socks and wooden circles. Thanks, Ady for the beautiful blanket.


I just got these 2 dolls for Zoli. I traded Queen Bee goods for them with Autumn, who makes custom dolls by hand (as well as many other things). They came out beautifully. One is the Zoli doll, and the other is Hank. They rode home in this sweet front basket on my bike.
Bath time burrito baby! Thanks, Alison, for the hand made fluffy hooded towel! It rocks!
Zoli loves his Sophie the giraffe chew toy. I'm sure she was a big part of his first 2 teeth poking through a few days ago.
Papa's ears make pretty good handles.

Grandma came to visit in May. It was wonderful to get to see her & Zoli together again, now that Z is so much more interactive. She helped out so much and even watched Z so we could go out on a date!

Ellen stopped in from Minneapolis. I was lazy with the camera during her visit but managed to snap a couple of shots right before she got on the train to Olympia.


Zoli's Aunt Niki came back to town and gave him lots of love & affection.

Marta came by for a visit one afternoon...

Grandpa Tapay, Aunt Bridget and cousin Ariana visited from Cincinnati. Ariana was so sweet with Zoli.

Happy Easter from a little bunny

This is a little bunny hoody that was mine when I was a baby. Zoli wore it for the Easter weekend, mostly around the house. It won't fit him for much longer!

Tapays come to Portland

I have some catching up to do! A grey-ish Sunday here. Baby snoring in his car seat, Tony reading in the lounger. Good day to do some blog catch-up.

Tony's family came for a visit in February. His sister Niki from D.C. came first, for a long weekend, and then younger sister Bridget, her daughter Ariana, and Dad, Nick, from Cincinnati.

As mentioned in the last post, Niki flew in right after we got hitched at the courthouse - here are some of her pics.

Post-courthouse wedding & celebration, Tony suited up for his bike ride home. I love a man in a suit, with corsage, on a bike!
Anyone who pays an extended visit to Zoli spends some quality time on the pink bouncy ball!

Niki, Zoli, and I went for a walk in the gorgeous Japanese Garden




Niki's last night in town
we walked down to our neighborhood cafe for some beer & pizza.
