Mom has been reading to me almost every day. Even though I don't totally understand all of the complicated plots of these board books, I still really like it when she reads. Today she read me "Are You My Mother?", which she says was one of her favorites when she was a kid. I liked it too - I laughed and kicked my feet the whole time.
Way before I was born, my parents planned a trip this weekend to Sun River with some of their friends. They weren't totally sure they'd be able to go, since I was only 5 weeks old, and I'd be the only baby there. But, they decided to give it a try, and it was so fun! Dad went to the mountain with EK, Nick, Marie, Maren, Annie, and Andrew. Mom and I went snowshoeing with Michelle, Christy and Danielle (that's me in the Ergo carrier on Mom's chest). Mom & dad seemed to do a lot of laughing, playing cards, and drinking the rest of the time.
Well, now I'm even cuter than I was before, since now I have officially started smiling. I'm best at it first thing in the morning, especially when someone is up close and smiling and talking to me. Apparently, it's tough to get an actual picture of my smile, so here's a little video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UChOx1Wrek
Mom always says that the sling is her last resort, when nothing else seems to calm me down. I guess she wanted to put me to sleep tonight. So, she put me in it at 7:45 p.m. (It kind of feels like I'm being put back into her womb - that's why I look a little shocked). But this next picture was taken just 3 minutes later - I guess I must like it in there.
I really like hanging out with my dad. Sometimes I like to just lie around on his chest, but other times he takes me places. Today he took me in the Baby Bjorn to get coffee with EK, Nick, and Dylan. They call it the "Father Support Group", since all of them are going to be having babies too in the next few months. I'm not sure why they need a support group - nothing really changes when you have a baby... really, it's SO easy!
One of the great things about having Grandma Ann here is that she wanted to stay home and babysit while my parents did fun stuff without me. This morning they went for run for the first time since I was born. I'm pretty sure they were back in less than 7 minutes though. Mom - I thought you were supposed to be a runner?!? I'm still waiting! Anyway, tonight they went out to dinner with Kelly & Adrian. I didn't actually like that too much - I cried pretty much the whole time they were gone.
My Grandma Ann came to Portland to meet me this weekend. I loved waking up in the morning and having her hold me first thing. I can't wait for her to come back in March (with Grandpa Tom and Aunt Ellen - so it's going to be even better!)
