Such a happy little guy!

Mothers Day

I was the only one that wanted pictures taken. Not the best poses, but I really like these.

when baby’s pajamas match your throw pillow…

you should take a picture :)

I’ve gotten pretty skilled at deciding whether it’s better for Elora to eat while clothed….or to be naked.

As you can see, I was quite right about having her eat her oatmeal and blueberries wearing just her diaper. 

She’s actually holding some oatmeal in her hands here.

Then it was straight from the kitchen table to the tub.

I love this bumbo seat! Its perfect in the bathtub.

GG turned 85 yesterday.
