Beautiful boy

My friend Annika is in town, and it has been super fun to visit with her, and show off my darling boy. Plus she's taken all sorts of fun photos. (And she's been pressed into babysitting twice now, while I get some work done, which she has done beautifully and with a sweet enthusiasm -- THANK YOU, ANNIKA!)

I adore my-little-o, and he loves me back, too.

What a smiley young man!

This is often what other people see of him, since he loves hanging out on your shoulder. We've taken to calling him a little bowling ball, because that's what he feels like (he's very close to 15 pounds at this point, yowza).

Please don't think I'm a heartless mama -- yes, the following photo is of me laughing while he cries, but it was only a momentary pause, before I jumped to make him happy. Really! I was just laughing because this was one of his 0 to 60 in a heartbeat moments -- one second perfectly happy, the next utterly miserable. He wasn't crying long!

Love,

Sara and Milobug
