Aunties and Uncles

You had lots of great time with Aunties and Uncles in Minnesota, but this past week has been a highlight. First we headed to Santa Cruz to visit Uncle Sly Dog - and though he claims he has been traumatized by forced babysitting in the past and also claims to never have changed a diaper - he played with you by himself for a whole hour AND gave you your daily bottle (which was met by a bit of reluctance on your part, as it often is). We think Uncle Sly Dog is an expert and are waiting to give him more chances to build his confidence and earn even more smiles from you.

Meanwhile, Aunt Hilary stepped up and became your chief smile generator for the whole week that she was here - THANK YOU! She carried you around, fashioned a new way to get you to sleep (back rubs while lying in the crib) and generally was a rock star. In addition to making new configurations of your playmat, I came home one day to see her teaching you how to grab your feet (see next post). You both were quite pleased!!
