Lovin' the Toes

A Day in the Sun

On Memorial Day we enjoyed hanging out with some friends at a nearby park on a lake. This was our first lengthy exposure to the sun and the place where I burned while pregnant last year..with Aaron's fair skin we did not want to take any chances. However he's too young for sunscreen so it was somewhat challenging to keep him covered, but other than temporarily rosy cheeks, he made it!

The Greatest Invention for a 4 month old

In all the piles of lists given to expecting parents, why oh why did the BUMBO seat not make the cut??? Recently while a visiting friend was observing Aaron she suggested that he might enjoy this..she couldn't be more right!!! I LOVE it!!!! It makes feeding him cereal so much easier and allows me to put him down so he can watch me in the kitchen or bathroom when I need both hands free. And he's enjoying one more way to not be lying on his blanket on the floor. Talk about a win-win!!!

Signs of the Seasons

One of the things I LOVE about Maine is the changing of the seasons...and right now that means I get the joy of rediscovering what is planted in our yard as buds come open (it's amazing how quickly I forget what's planted!), the promise of fresh fruit and vegetables to come (this year I am staying out of the garden so it will help rather than hurt our budget--we figured after 2 years of a bad sunburn and then mysterious bug bite that I was too much of a liability!), and the constant scenic views of the cows (who seem as curious about us as we are of them) and now a neighboring fox (who fortunately has enough to eat so that Precious is not on her radar)!

Aaron is loving seeing the world from a different perspective other than from the floor!!!!!!!
