too soon for summer?

Grandma is always buying me fun presents. This present will be useful during the summer, when Grandma promises to take me to the fun water park near her house!

Thanks, Grandma! (and Grandpa, too, although I am sure Grandpa did not have anything to do with the actual purchase of the present) :)



p.s. These were a TODDLER SIZE but they fit perfectly around my huge head!

fun with the cousins

Adrian in his adorable bunting, a gift from Grandma's neighbors Marilyn & Sheldon:



Look, ma, no hands!



Do YOU see any family resemblance?? Adrian Meatball, meet Gavin String Bean.



Pleased to meet you, cousin!



With mommy.

Well, our little guy is not so little! He weighed in at 17 lbs. 10 oz. and was 25.5 inches long (90% and 75%, respectively), up 2 lbs. 9 oz. and 2 inches from 2 months old.

He did well with the shots—just a little bit of crying after, and even then he looked so sadly cute I had to take a picture when the nurse picked him up—and we got the go-ahead to start puréed solids (a few tablespoons a day).

Here are some pics from the appointment:



I managed to fit most of him in the frame:



A closeup where it looks like he's wearing eyeliner or something ;):



Tearful eyes after the shots:



All chilled out in the car on the way home:



I can't believe my baby is growing up!

a new hat from grandma

Today I went to grandma's house. She insists that I need a hat to cover my ears to wear under my bunting hood! She thinks I have a very big head!



As much as I love the hat, I was relieved when mommy took unwrapped me after we got home.
