some new shots

Some recent photos - Williams cows and Groton zebras... almost two months old now! I put the last one up just so you know that Gage isn't letting us "cruise" as new parents - she doesn't want us to miss out on ALL the fun!

Caught in the act...

...of smiling!

This week has been so much fun. Almost as soon as the harness came off, Gage started flashing her smiles everywhere... even the whale on her play mat gets grins and coos. She is suddenly much more interested in the things around her and keeps herself busy chatting with her new friends. Luca seems curious - can't seem to figure out who she is talking to all day.

Rich's last day of his season is today and the sun is out in Deerfield - maybe Spring is around the corner afterall. We are going to go watch our first ski race this afternoon - see if she likes it!

trash!

No more harness! Happy Valentines Day!

Smiles!

Gage timed her first smile for Mom's 30th birthday - a very fun gift. Dad's gift was a set of Lyle Lovett/John Hiatt tickets. In a couple weeks we'll have our date while Gran and Grandaddy come to babysit! It's been a busy few weeks for "Billy" (her coos sound very much like we have a billy goat living in the apartment, and thus she has been dubbed "Billy" for the time being.) She had a weekend of playing with Deke and Aurelia and went for her first run with Mom - was sound asleep the entire time... the bumpier road, the better. She went with us to NH to check on the house (dry wall is up!) and fought her first case of baby acne - pretty sweet stuff!) She's still very happy in Gaga's swing and is starting to be aware of more that's around her. Linds and Nathan come this weekend! :)
