wednesday’s child went shopping

And Thursday’s child went to yoga and then out a-visiting friends.

Who is this new and improved baby?

Is it the fact that I’ve stopped eating dairy? Or is it a developmental leap he’s made? Or both? (I am too tired to figure out the new poll tool I’ve downloaded, so for now, please just . . . → Read More: wednesday’s child went shopping

same day, new baby

It’s completely amazing. He’s making eye contact. He’s smiling. He’s mellow. We took a bath. He loved it.
