We finally had a chance to introduce Maren to sunshine which, as a baby born in Seattle in October, she has rarely seen thus far in her existence. So far, she is not too sure about it. It's awfully bright.
She has made great strides in her sitting and rolling abilities - she leans way, way over to grab things without (always) falling over; she rolls from front to back over and over and over again, and occasionally rolls across the room to get something really exciting, like a shoe; and she continues to enjoy just about every food she tries. Except pears. She hates pears.
Every morning she loves to have oatmeal and yogurt, which we have taken to calling "yoatmeal," and she devours it as if we might never feed her again. She loves to be tickled (especially by dad) and has recently decided to start kissing us, which involves planting her open mouth right on the mouth of the person to be kissed. It's beyond delightful. A little drooly, but delightful.
A few pictures from the past few days...
In case you are wondering, she is not always this happy. But, honestly, she's happy a lot. And smiley. And giggly.
It's pretty great.
