Weeks 3 & 4
Willow Settles in and Receives Visitors

Tony wonders why the grass is in his water bowl.

Me on my new play mat/baby entertainment center, being entertained and exercising my neck.

Me in my mom’s bar exam study chair, trying to soak up some legal knowledge.

Seems to me that this chair is a little too comfortable for efficient studying. I think it’s much better

Just thinking about the bar exam makes me sleepy.

One of my favorite sleep poses.

Wearing clothes as comfy as these, it’s no wonder I spend half of my day sleeping.

Cousin Andrew checks out my play mat.

At 4 months, he’s a little better at grabbing the rings than I am, but I’m working on it.

He’s even good at grabbing camera cords.

Andrew really liked those rings!

My uncle Clay, Aunt Eileen and cousin Andrew visit (11/20)

Here I am. in one of my favorite positions, draped over my Dad’s shoulder

It’s a great place for a burp and to watch the world go by.

But, like everything else, the position is only good for so long; I like to mix it up.

E.g., here I am with mom bouncing on the exercise ball.

Always with the kisses--I guess I’m just irresistible.

Here I am with my soothie, getting ready for one of my most loathed activities--a diaper change.

The Soothie helps give me something else to think about while I’m in the midst of a change.

Sometimes, I’m able to stay quite calm during a change.

But other times, from the volume and tone of my cries, you’d think I was being tortured.

Poor Tony and Leo; no match for my cuteness, they have had to turn to each other for comfort and
