Things we all are learning.

Aspen is almost 8 weeks old and our pace up the steep learning curve has been rapid. It has to be as baby girl doesn't exactly come with a manual! (Unfortunately I suspect that this learning curve isn't one that flattens out, it just keeps going and going and going.)


Some things that various family members have learned in the past few weeks:

Aspen is learning to make more and more funny faces!

She is also smiling more and more...only capturing them on camera is more challenging than I thought.  I always get either the beginning or the end of the smile, but not the big gummy grin in the middl!

 Jamie and I are both getting better at eating while carrying Aspen in the sling or our arms...however we have NOT mastered how to eat without spilling! In this picture we discovered a stripe of coffee gelato glued to baby girl's face several hours AFTER Jamie was done eating it.  Oops!

We have also learned the very best way to soothe a cranky baby...naked time! Our little girl LOVES naked time.  You can also see from this pic that we have no worries about Aspen not eating enough.

(sorry, pic removed)

Aspen is becoming a pro at finding her hands and sucking on them.  She really enjoys a good hand nibble!




From Aspen:  Mom promises that she will update next week after my 2 month doctor's visit on Tuesday. Two months old already!  They will weigh me, measure my length, and then jab sharp needles into me. Fun, fun!

Oh, joy, more pictures. And gumming a hand is such an excellent skill! The eating-while-spilling picture is priceless. But shouldn't you be spilling brocolli? Veggies and fresh fruit? And the smile is the best. The very best! At least that's what Gramma Sue thinks.

oh my goodness, that fat baby bottom. Love love it. I once dropped a whole thing of pizza ranch on Ava's sleeping face. Whoopsie.

much love,
Amanda
