This Weekend I Loved......


The sight of: the lightbulb going off in our baby boy's head about how to move about the house even more efficiently. He can cross the room in no time and we're not exactly sure how.
The smell of: the sweet pines as we buzzed around in the Jeep doing morning errands.
The taste of: chocolate cake made by Richard with at least an inch of frosting. Yummmm. They came for outdoor movies and the second we got everything set and sat down it started to rain. So we watched "Finding Neverland" in the living room all snuggled up in blankets.
The sound of: Gus' squeaks and squeals. They were different this weekend. He's experimenting. I keep reminding myself he won't always do this and to soak it all up now.
The act of: (1)having the scorching hot weather be a perfect excuse to relax. We played with our babe and when he napped we passed out on the spare mattress in the guest room. It was great to slow down and let the heat zap us of energy. (2) I also enjoy thinking out Gus' new meals now that he is eating actual food. I love to see what he likes immediately, what he spits out to examine and then puts back into his mouth. He ate a chicken nugget at home, baby bananas and has eaten my lasagna and chicken noodle soup. This week I will try cheesy vegetables and pasta primavera.

I *knew* Gus would be mobile very soon, but in just a few days after we left...well... I gotta see it for myself -- video, please? I just posted a few shots and vids of him to our blog at the Church of Cat.
