WHAT IS GOING ON IN THERE?

HANGIN IN THE CRIB

A shout out to all the fly honeys...

NABI THE CAT

Our cat, Nabi, ran away a couple weeks ago, and we have not yet found her. Since she escaped without her collar and tags, we aren't very hopeful that she'll be returned to us. She was a fine cat, and we will remember her with love. So I guess we are now 30 fingers and 36 toes (not counting the mice that live under our dishwasher).

BEDTIME FRIEND

For the last few days, David has been sleeping through the night in his own room. It's amazing how just last week he wanted nothing to do with his crib or with a long night of uninterrupted sleep. So early this morning I snuck into David's room to get a peek at what was going on.

He was snoozing away...


until Mommy's camera woke him up...


and the fussing began...


And then I realized what has been keeping him quiet these last few nights--his new friend, MR. THUMB!


We decided to let Mr. Thumb stay. In fact, he's welcome ANY time.

PARTY TIME

We had a delightful time at my cousin, Audrey's, birthday party today. David enjoyed meeting some of his second cousins. Audrey (the birthday girl);


Reilly (the chaser of bright orange balloons);


Tommy (the silly face maker) ...


(and monkey chair climber--or Mork for those who grew up in the 80s);


Julia (who is ready for her cupcake ... NOW!);


and Phillip (the mature grown-up who doesn't feel the need to ham it up for the camera, so I only got this tiny shot of him [lower-left]).


All of this celebrating wore David out, and a couple hours in he thought it was high time for a nap.


And Miles, the Pug, followed suit.

GOLDEN BATH TIME

This is David before he peed on Mommy.


This is David peeing on Mommy. (If you look closely you can actually see the shower.)


This is David just before he peed on mommy AGAIN.


We LOVE bathtime!!

SUNDAY MORNING CUTIE-PIE CLOSEUP

TOUCHY FEELY

David has recently discovered that his hands are good for more than nibbling on. It has opened up a whole new world of exploration for him.

SOFT-HEARTED

We succumbed to David's incessant crying and ended up bringing him into our bed for most of the night. How can you separate yourself from this much cuteness for hours at a time?

BYE BYE BASSINET

Tonight we will put David to sleep in his own room for the first time. I will miss waking up and peeking into his bassinet to see him in all sorts of sprawled positions in the night.

HELLO, DAVID
