My Cutest Milestone Yet . . . Check Me Out!








Mama and I take a bath every morning, an
activity I thoroughly enjoy. I particularly like
scoping out mama's myriad potions and lotions,
especially my "California Baby" shampoo. That
said, bathtime become's much more interesting
now that I've discovered that yes, I can actually
fit my foot (well, part of it) in my mouth. Since I
found my feet, I've become obsessed. Nothing
else means anything -- my feet are where it's at.

Me and My Bebe Pod . . . an early Christmas present.




Just Me and the Mama


Aunties!!!


Auntie Erica came down from Portland.
She's enthralled, of course.

Auntie Heather visits me all the way
from Arizona; this is the first time she
met me. Of course, she's enamored.

Auntie Alyssa (of the previous post's
pasta fame -- she made it for me).






Pasta a la Ten-Week-Old


If it looks like I'm eating pasta . . . it's because I am (or trying to. The mama wouldn't let me actually eat it. Wench.) I've discovered big-people food but haven't yet ascertained why they won't give it to me. I gummed at least 10 penne noodles on this particular evening (after mama got rid of the garlic and wine sauce). Mmm mmm!

My First Tea Party

So, a few of mama's MiraCosta friends and colleagues decided to throw me a tea party/shower as they wanted to meet me. And meet me they did -- check me out.


Brandi's trying to hold me, but I'm too busy
eyebballing the big-people food.



Denise kept me company (and calm)

most of the afternoon. (Don't let this
picture fool you.)

The Ubiquitous Baby BJORN . . .



The mama here. Reed's cranky and taking time off from the blog. Anyone who's anyone in the household of Reed knows that the Bjorn's the thing . . . the sling, err, Hotsling, hasn't yet been retired, but it seems to be on it's way out. The struggle to shove Reed's butt and legs into the sling as if they he were bread dough that required kneading might be one of the contributing factor's to the sling's probable demise . . . and it's replacement with the Bjorn (which, incidentally, boasts a few neat hooks and snaps that require only that baby be smoothly inserted and lifted out, without threat of poked and prodded flesh). Mostly, we've carried him around the house, often pausing in front of the Christmas tree (a rather crack-like addiction for babies). The true test? The store (any store, really, though Walmart at Christmas might yield the truest results) -- we'll let you know if the Bjorn maintains in the brand-name baby-gear war (ughh).

Me, Myself, and Ike





I wish my kitty liked me. As the proverbial saying goes, looks can be deceiving. The mama's shoving Ike's butt from behind to get this shot, AND I have red-eye that she's failed to correct before posting this. I guess she wanted everyone to see my sitting up like a big boy -- all by myself (well, and two pillows). Stay tuned; I just know she's going to put up a bunch of cheeseball X-mas shots with me in some stupid hat. Do all parents do this stuff?
