Here Kitty, Kitty

Levi came to work with me today! My client, Sarah, has a sweet cat who enjoyed having Levi around.

Daddy's Birthday

Happy Birthday, Eric! To celebrate we too Levi to the beach for the first time. What a beautiful day! We also had a Diaper Poker Party with our friends... the buy-in was a box of diapers!

Last Newborn Diaper

Can't believe how fast he's growing... I just threw away Levi's very last newborn diaper! On to the next size. Ok, so maybe it's not a REAL milestone, but I thought it was a big deal! Yup, and I even had to take a picture:

A Mother's Love

A poem by Barbara Burrow...

These are the years, the gentle years, 
the soft and sentimental years
    when wee little finger reach and touch
    and little eyes gaze with wonder and trust,
    when you love so tenderly and so so much, 
        these are the gentle years.
 

 
These are the years, the rainbow years, 
the quiet, walk-on-tiptoes years,  
    the years of laughter and smiles and sighs
    when both of you watch with misty eyes
    the tiny bed where a cherub lies, 
        these are the rainbow years.

These are the years, the tender years,
the blissful, sweet-surrender years,  
    when your little treasure from above
    is the soul and purpose and center of
    your plans and dreams and dearest love,  
        these are the tender years.

Amanda & Pearl

My good friend Amanda brought her daughter to meet Baby Levi. She has beautiful red hair, too! Thanks for the hand knit hat and cozy sweater, Amanda!

Splish, Splash!

No more sponge baths for Levi! Now that our little boy's belly button is all healed, he can enjoy a real bath. No fussing at all... he loved the water!

 

1 Month Birthday

Levi turns 1 month old today! After a newborn photo shoot in Seattle, we took Levi for a "picnic" at Greenlake. His birthday gift from Mommy and Daddy was his first bottle. Eric and Levi sat on a rock next to the water... Levi sucked down his lunch with no problem at all. Now that he's been introduced to the bottle, Mommy isn't responsible for every single feeding - which means it's back to work I go! I'll be going to a few consultations later this week while Eric stays with Levi at home.
