First Steps

Isn't it amazing how fast babies grow?  Look...  

Bjorn is already taking his first steps!

:o)  Ok, so obviously he's not.  I mean, come on, he's only 2 months old!  But, he does love to stand and has very strong little legs.  I can't believe he is almost 2 months old!  (tomorrow actually!)  

This time has flown by SO fast, and at the same time seems like an eternity...  I feel like I have known this sweet little boy forever!  Like our family was always waiting for him.  And now it feels right.  Of course, there are still a few empty spots in our family waiting to be filled, but for right now...  it is complete!  And we are happy...  colicky, sad, fussy baby and all.  Those few smiles scattered throughout our day make every tear (his and mine!) worth it!

a Delightful Day with Daddy and a Deer

Andrew got to have a day off with us today, because he worked on Saturday.  It was so nice to all cuddle together in the morning and not be in any rush.  We even went for a long walk in the sunshine this afternoon, enjoying the beautiful day!   Bjorn slept peacefully in his BabyBjorn the whole time we were out...

We saw lots of salmon berries that were ready to be picked.  They sure tasted good!  And aren't they pretty?

On our way back home, Andrew spotted a deer laying down hiding in the trees!

He was a good model, and stayed very still for us, the whole time I stood there taking his picture!

  

Apparently it's hard work being carried around by your daddy!  :o)

What a great day...  I wish every day could be like this!

his first hickey?!?

Look closely... 

on that left forearm...

yep, right there...

Bjorn gave himself a hickey!!  :o)

Fortunately he's too young to care...  

but this will be fun to show him when he's older!
