Merr and Alex at the Old New Castle Halloween Parade

Merr as a robot, Alex as a robot spider. Merr wins first place in her age group for her costume - of course.

Merritt Singing the "Loolie Song"

Like the giant squid (Architeuthis) and giant fruit-eating monitor lizard (Varanus bitatawa), the elusive singing of the "Loolie Song" (Songus loolieuthis) has finally been caught on tape.

Assorted Videos

Haley and I trying to convince Merr to sing the "Loolie Song" (my Saved by the Bell reverse psychology almost worked).

Merritt's Easter Egg Hunt

Merritt had an Easter egg hunt today with her buddy Joey. She was a good girl and found lots of eggs. Even better, she didn't try and steal eggs from her friend. Quite the opposite - she helped Joey and told him "Good job!" when he found them. So here's the video.....Enjoy!

Introducing...Alex Chaump

Born: February 8, 2010 at 9:56 a.m.
Weight: 8 lbs, 8 oz
Length: 21.5 inches
Color: Pink

1 week until A.J.!

We are scheduled to meet Alex on 2/8/10. This also means that Merritt has one more week as an only child. She really doesn't know what she's in for, but Tom and I are optimistic. She really seems interested when we show her videos and pictures of her from the super early days. We tell her that the baby in Mommy's tummy is going to come live with us and she says ok :)

Merritt Meets Brandon

Our friends Dan and Jenn stopped by this afternoon with their 5-week old Brandon. It was a nice preview for what lies ahead in the next few days and Merr had a blast. Here are some photos of Merr and Brandon.
