sorry for the hiatus...

This hat still just kills me.

He's getting so chubby!

Tummy time!

This mat is so cute. It's shaped like a surfboard. We love it!

I just can't help myself...

I know this is my 3rd post today. I'm obsessed with my kid and my digital camera. This fuzzy dinosaur outfit is one of our favorites. The only drawback is that it leaves navy blue fuzzies between his toes which is why we only wear the day of or before bath. Aunt Hannah joined us for dinner and bath time tonight. Hannah hung out for a minute while I ran to collect Ed from work. I was grateful not to have to take the baby out in the rain. Hannah got a whole 1/2 hour to study Booker's little fingers. Everyone wins!

"Aunt" Chrissy

Well, she's not Booker's aunt technically but the title still fits! Chrissy is a former co-worker turned BFF who lives in Maryland. She and her boyfriend, Matt, both had business meetings in Austin this week and headed west early by a day just to hang with us! The visit was not nearly long enough. Chrissy and I used to spend 5 days a week together so this short visit just didn't cut it! Matt was born and raised in Austin so we hope they'll make their way back to TX permanently in the next few years. Here are some pics from our lunch at Cheesy Jane's:

As you can see, she was smitten with the big man immediately! Don't you just love to see people you love in a photo together?

We love Aunt Hannah!

Hannah met Booker and I up at Whole Foods Market this morning for some breakfast and grocery shopping. I threw out the idea of Hannah taking my car, the groceries and Booker back to her house and I'd meet her there later to help her fix dinner for friends that night. She jumped at the chance! I got to go home, shower and enjoy the quiet house with Ed for a few hours. Aunt Hannah not only did a fabulous job taking care of the little man but had to handle a super messy diaper situation. She's the greatest!

We had a fabulous dinner with Chrissy and Matt, who are visiting from Maryland. Dinner was followed by several funny games of Catch Phrase. What a great time! We're looking forward to lunch at Cheesy Jane's tomorrow before Chrissy and Matt head to Austin.
