Sunday stroll in Boston Common

First Guinness!

Went to our local pub, James Gate to share the fine virtues of Guinness with Skye!

10 Weeks of Skye Time!

Skye just reached the 10 week mark and he really is changing before our eyes. Just within the last week or two, he has begun to show his goofy little personality smiling and giggling all the time. He's also found his hands which he is starting to use to grab things. The motor skills are happening. The little dude is growing fast!

Here are some photos from the last week. Beginning with celebrating Heidi's first Mothers' Day with a walk at Deer Island. Also some photos and a little video of Skye's new favorite nightly ritual, his bath!

Class Act

Over last five weeks Heidi and Skye have been attending a Great Beginnings class for new moms and babies. The weekly get together has been a great way to get to know other new moms and bounce questions off on another. Songs are sung, little arms are stretched, butts are bounced, and lots of fun is had. Here's a few photos from this week's class.

Skye's first soccer game!

You knew it was gonna happen sooner or later. This past Saturday, we took the little dude over to Harvard's stadium to see a women's professional soccer match between the Boston Breakers and the LA Sol. It was a beautiful night and the crowd was pumped to see LA's star player Marta, the Brazilian sensation and best player in the world. Skye took in about 15 minutes of the first half before falling asleep for the rest of the match. Oh, Boston took the match 2 - nil. Sorry Marta.

Daily Exercises

So here's what our mornings are like right now. Skye, wakes up around 6 ish. He's usually wide awake and in a good mood so I get up and entertain the little dude for awhile. We bounce, we do a bit of tummy time. Then I strap him on my chest in the moby wrap (basically 16 feet of fabric) and take him and Coya (our dog) on a walk in the woods. He loves the birds and wind through the leaves and by the time we're home he's ready for a bottle and then a nap. Then I drink 6 cups of coffee and start my day...
