soft spot

This is a video of Attison's softspot pulsing with his heartbeat.

[Insert well worded reflection of the wonders of creation.]
Words to come again someday.

April 8 and 9 at dinner

New this week, sitting up!

it is loud and silly here

More time in Palmyra

Attison's First Easter Basket!

Here is Attison's first Easter Basket!

 And another naked baby! (post bath, chewing on his fingers and playing with the wet towel)

One piece suit

Aunt Gloria bought Attison this Tigger when we were in Florida.  He isn't tiger colored all over though, just his head, hands and tail.  Many people have wondered why Tigger wears a green suit.  Our response?  "He is inspecting a crawlspace and has to put on his one piece suit."  In the argument of nurture vs. nature, there is no doubting that this type of logic will contribute to how Attison sees the world. 

So anyway, science aside, here is a picture of Tim, Attison and Tigger in their one piece suits. 

And because everything is actually about Jenny the dog, here she is too. 

helping with laundry again

Jenny's fence

You'd think I would have noticed this before my dog was missing for over an hour.  

And motivated by sharing the before and after picture with the world, I planted some grass.  It isn't a permanent (or attractive) fix, but after chasing your dog for 5 consecutive days, sometimes you just get it done. We have not yet fixed the downspout, it's on the list.

Grandma Linda for a day

This is how we usually do two things at once:

 On Easter Monday, Grandma Linda had the day off, so we got tons of laundry done and no babies had to ride in laundry baskets.

Note, no babies were harmed in the carrying of laundry baskets.

An awesome hot pad

Awhile back when we had dinner at Jessie and Dexter's they had these really cool hot pads for their kitchen. Attison had a great time chewing on it and feeling the unique texture on his tongue.

Tim enjoyed the beer, not the baby.

naked time and the beginnings of a crawler

Sorry for the short hiatus.  Here are tons of photos to make up for it.

This one is my favorite:

Look at how he is arching his back up and putting his butt up into the air, getting some space between his belly and the floor.  He isn't going anywhere yet, but it is so cute to watch him learn all the pieces he will soon put together to start crawling.

In this next photo, he is kind of doing a push up, another component of his next step towards mobility.

napping in the zoo

I know they say not to let a bunch of stuffed animals in the crib with a sleeping baby, because of SIDS.
I think I had a back story to this one, but now I don't remember it.  So here is Attison sleeping with a moose, a monkey, a rabbit, Tigger and a rattle.

We went to new jersey. More photos to come.
