*Makes panting noises at Iris
*Babbles a LOT

New pictures (and a video!) will be added soon. It’s been pretty darn busy around here. Little Miss gets into EVERYTHING! I’m making my own baby food from scratch with organic produce I buy at the farmer’s market and the stores. It’s super easy and she seems to prefer it! Yay! Amelia and I also started attending a weekly event held at the library closest to our house-called Book Babies. About 20 moms and babies get into a circle and sing, point out various body parts, make noise, and read to the babies. Afterward, the babies and moms have a social hour. It’s fun! I’m also looking to join a swim class, a baby yoga class, and a group of moms in my area that get together to walk the babies and talk. Fun, eh? In addition, I joined an online book club, so I’ve been pretty busy! We’ve been taking plenty of photos, but it’s a lot of work getting them ready for the site, and then Peter has to work his magic at getting them up on the site. I’m exhausted thinking about doing the photos! :)

Well, today we are off to check out the Cherry Creek Art Festival, which is about a mile from here. We went last year when I was pregnant and craving snowcones. They had ‘em! It poured with rain, but dammit, I had my snowcone!
