a Grandma's touch

Adelaide had a visiting playmate for all of last week, and she had so much fun showing off her favorite toys. Grandma taught her how to grab onto the stuffed carrot and wave it around - fortunately the carrot is soft so it doesn't hurt when she hits herself in the head in search of the mouth! Adelaide says "ooooooo, ooohhh" which I am pretty sure means "thanks for visiting, Grandma - please come again soon!".

dealt a good hand

Adelaide has discovered her hands: She's been studying them intently for several days now (such interesting little items, and they move too! who knew?!?) and she has finally got them up to her mouth in a "that was not quite an accident but I'm not sure I could do it again" sort of way. Now she'll have something besides my arm to drool on :)

Heidi in green

Here we are looking green for earth week - yes I realize that was last week (or was it two weeks ago? geez, time is flying). Adelaide had her two-month check up yesterday - she's 10lbs 3oz now and has grown not quite 3inches. She's healthy and happy and absolutely loved getting shots in her legs - that gave her a rare opportunity to scream her head off, fully justified.

By popular demand, I am working on setting up a Flickr account to post more pictures. Try this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/Nelson_JAM/ or click on the slideshow. Adelaide says: "It's really pretty easy being green" :)
