Catching the wind

During our last visit to Massachusetts, Lola started opening her mouth as wide as she could whenever she felt the wind on her face. We thought it was another one of those things that would come and go in a few days, but a few weeks later she's still catching breezes. Maybe it feels good on her gums while she's teething? Stay tuned for a glimpse of her top set!

equal time!

We've just entered the 42 week mark in Lola's life - Scott cleverly reminded me that she has now been "on the outside" as long as she was "on the inside".

Yay Lola!

Up North to see family

Meaghan and Lola

Maggie's parents have rented a beautiful house on a lake in Framingham, MA. We drove/ferried up for an extended visit to share the baby and spend some relaxing time with family. We enjoyed time with mama, Doug, Meaghan, Bobbie Jo, Mikaela, Bea, and Leo. It was nice having no place we had to go and no agenda, we cooked a few dinners, talked, played with the baby, and watched Red Sox games.

Mommy may I have a taste of your huevos?

We went to a diner we like called the Cooks Room for breakfast. Normally Lola is indifferent to what we eat but as soon as Maggie started to have her poached egg Lola sat up and was very interested. This is the first time she's eaten anything from one of our plates. It was very fun.

Fiber days at the farm

A local historic farm had a textile festival today complete with llamas, sheep, cows, bunnies, herding dogs, and lots of arts and crafts made from the yarn of the llamas and sheep. It was a beautiful day, Lola charmed the ladies at the fair with her big smile, tiny teeth, and dimples. Click here for more photos from the farm.

A New Englander at heart

Just when it seemed spring had given over to an early summer here on the east coast, the 80 degree heat has been replaced by crisp, spring days and cooler nights. Since Lola was born in September, she's used to being bundled up for bed in warm clothes, thicker blankets, and of course; the all important hat. Here is Lola sporting some of her cool weather bedtime gear.

But wait, what is that hidden under her blanket, could it be she's hiding her true colors? Oh no, a Red Sox suit!
