Love-bug

Here's our little Janie-bug, who doesn't seem so little these days. She weighed in at 12 lbs. 4 oz. last week at her two month check up. How lucky we are to have such a healthy, happy, round baby in our lives.

Growth

This second little one is growing up so fast! She's 8 weeks old today, and really starting to wake up to the world. She's cooing, gurgling, smiling and trying to be upright as much as possible. (And STILL sleeping through the night !!!) What fun!

"Put your feet in the mud -- it feels good"

My little one has to sense everything with his toes, hands, mouth, etc. He's fond of climbing in the bin of birdseed at Grammy's house, sitting in the seeds, sifting them through his hands, and sliding his feet up and down in it. He has so many rituals at her house. Every time I am there to see them wander around together, I am amazed by her endless creativity, vision, patience and beauty. She makes the world anew each day for this little guy. Here he is emptying water from the caladium leaves and, of course, feeling the mud. Thank you Mom for inspiring such a full-bodied love of nature in our boy.
