learning to love the bath

...and being serviced in general

as my return to work draws near, i'm savoring leisurely, playful mornings, the newly discovered (i know!) food network, cruising blogs, and making lunch at home. of course, I am also savoring my 24/7 petra. she's now curled up in her sling.

petra is becoming...

smiley, playful, a self-regulator, chubby and she hums talky sounds every once in a while. furthermore, she is truly a traditional baby, not just a mature fetus. it's amazing to see her develop by the day. ed and i feel like we're waking up to plumper apricot cheeks and fuller Peanuts character arms every morning.
