It should be noted that Linnaea just rolled over again (onto her tummy). For someone who dislikes tummy time so much, you’d think she’d be quick to figure out how to get back onto her back…

She was also seen sucking on her big toe, so apparently she’s figured out how to get her feet into her mouth. Must be getting bored with her thumb…

Saturday there was rain. Saturday there was a meeting of friends. Saturday there was pie!

Three of One Of Three and Counting braved the deer and flooded roads to hang out with us and chase their son, John, around our house – a new and exciting frontier in need of thorough exploration! An excellent time was had by all – except perhaps by the dogs, who wanted more direct involvement, and perhaps Othello, who would have been happy not to have been directly involved…

Stay tuned! More meaningful text and color pictures coming soon!!

So, after two days of active play, giggles, smiles, flying, drool-bombing, bouncing, singing, and cuddling, as well as some hard fought naps, and the tears, cries and frustrations that precede the inevitable, going back to work is really hard. Linnaea’s afternoon nap yesterday was taken curled up on my chest – both of us very content. And here I sit, in front of my computer, 91 miles away, doing engineering stuff (obviously, that’s why I’m blogging…), with memories of the weekend – bright eyes, wide happy smiles, and ears that seem to stick out farther every day from a head with increasingly fewer hairs – distracting me. I had a bunch of “important” things to do this weekend, but for some mysterious reason, what seemed truly important was being with my daughter. And at least I did that. Monday mornings are hard. But things get better in the evening… =)

New video here (12.3 MB).

It’s back! And, yet again, I am one happy momma. Linnaea’s first exposure to the sport: watching my Red Wings trounce Pater’s Blues.

In other news, Linnaea’s really starting to develop good control of objects. Rough, jerky movements are giving way to slower, more deliberate motion!
