Growth Report

Well, she seems to be growing, at least in girth, and certainly eats enough. But she is so active these days I'm not sure how much will stick! She has made so much progress the past week. She's learned to get from her tummy to a sitting position (after Kev showed her the leg-tuck technique), crawl, pull-up, and cruise the length of the couch. She's just busting through those developmental milestones!

She made her first trip to the swimming pool, in a swim diaper that she borrowed from a friend down the row. It was a little big, so she had to "Erkle" it. She enjoyed splashing around the kiddie pool and the way the extra float made it easier to walk. Then we saw our friends (the swim diaper donaters) and got excited practicing her waves (the friendly kind).

Aaaaaawwwww... (Skip this one if you're not into cute)

HELLO?!? Aren't these supposed to be *HIGH* chairs?!













Only three weeks home, and we are already nostalgic for this quietly sleeping baby...











Hey, you were amply warned...













This was taken late in the Honeymoon phase, which feels like it has been over for a very long time, sigh.

Never say never... also known as Second Child Syndrome

Two fistfuls of French Fries...













A Pizza Hut crust....















And an evening of TV viewing. (Hey, we were trying to pack, and at least it was National Geographic).
