I can't believe it's been 6 weeks!

He smiles! (wearing the beautiful sweater Sarah knit for him)
The most exciting advancement this week is the intentional smiles!  He did his first definite smile with Odavia, a fact she is very proud of.  Maybe this means he likes Spanish?
Odavia and Susie talk to Lancito
I had my follow up appointment--down to 180 pounds!  Pretty amazing.  On a much more depressing note, my doctor found that I still have some open wounds and she decided to cauterize them with silver nitrate.  That was traumatizing, but did end up making me feel better.

The big event of the week was Lucy and MacKenzie's wedding.  The brides were beautiful and radiating love and joy.  It was LJ's first wedding and he loved it! Well he slept through most of it, but he seemed happy.  For the reception Leighton put LJ in the Moby and danced all night.  We're teaching him to love music and have rhythm at a young age.  The wedding brunch the next day was also a blast.  Sam got on the piano and we had a lively sing-a-long.

We also got to enjoy the Berkeley Kite Festival.  It was just like old times except with two babies.  Rumor has it that Naima and LJ may have given the baby bug to the one unnamed baby-less couple.  There may be a third baby in the triumvirate family soon!
