Memorial Day

Wally had his first trip to his Grandma Cryderman's house this past weekend.  My mom babysat him while I went to a friend's wedding and then we hung out the rest of the weekend.  The weather was gorgeous, so we spent some time outside, including a nice walk at my old high school track!  On Monday, we missed the parade (Wally fell asleep on my mom's lap at home and we didn't have the heart to wake him up in time to see the parade) but still made it to the cemetery.  We put Walden down on a blanket under a tree and he was great the whole time!  Thanks to my mom for the pictures!

Right now, Walden is 3 months and 1 day old! What I love about this age:  that he smiles and coos, that he LOVES ceiling fans, that we're starting to distinguish what his different cries mean, that he still likes his black and white picture books, the way his little body feels when he falls asleep in my arms, the way he looks at trees with absolute wonder when we go on walks, and that he loves to see himself in a mirror. What is challenging right now:  he has been scratching his face and head in his sleep (we just got some larger baby mitts, so that should help) and how it is hard for him to fall asleep unless someone walks around carrying him for a wh...
