Breakfast

The sippy cup is covered in sweet potato. Breakfast has become one of the most interesting times of the day.

Now we're all sick.

Andy, Louis and I are all hacking away with a cough. It sounds horrid, but Louis seems to be in good spirits. Even the nurse commented on how sweet he was even while sick. The other night we fed Lou carrots and he LOVED them. Could not get enough. So that will be appearing again in his future. We planted some seeds in our garden (zuchinni, jalapeno, lettuce, and red pepper) and are expecting a few plants to arrive today (tomato, and I forget what else). Only 1 of the 3 blueberry plants survived the winter, but I am hoping if I get a few more we will someday be able to pick berries from our yard if I can thwart the squirrels and birds. Had our first grill-out of the season and it was great! No mosquitos yet and Louis tried to eat the rocks in our backyard.

It was bound to happen

Our first dish casualty due to Louis starting baby food.
And another piano shot because he will jump out of your arms to get to it if he sees it.

Undecided

Should it be the drum or the piano?

I hate germs.

Louis is sick. Coughing and a runny nose. I'm gonna go out on a limb and blame the germy airplanes we were on. My allergies are ridiculous. I seriously feel like I can't see, my eyes are so itchy and swollen. I had a sneezing attack about an hour after being off the plane and in DC. Ahh, spring.
Anyways, here's a few more pictures from the beach in California with Grandpa Bill.

Home!

Louis and I made it home and he did great on the flight once again. We scored again with seating assignments and ended up with an empty seat in the middle and a mother/grandmother in the window seat who was absolutely great. We sat directly in front of Dennis Kucinich on the plane although it took me a moment to figure out who it was. I was so sleep deprived, I kept thinking, "I know this guy from somewhere..." There was a flight attendant on our return flight who was also on the flight out to L.A and when we boarded she saw us and said, " Louis is back." She remembered his name! Louis was very dazed by the time we arrived at the house last night, but slept through the night (thank god) and seemed very happy to be back in his crib. He was excited to see Andy this morning and also seemed very happy to get back into his exersaucer in the kitchen! I will be going through more photos from California and post a few more throughout the week. Thanks to everyone who made time to come and see us while we were out there!!
