New Tricks

We call Renna "velcro baby" because of her great fondness for being held ALL of the time. We carry her around in the Baby Bjorn carrier much of the day because of her strong objections to being put down. Carrying our 13.5 lb babe around leaves us with aching backs so we are eagerly trying to get her used to her bouncy seat, the swing, the carseat... anything!

Here she is in her bouncy seat, asleep in her car seat & sacked out in our bed. All very RARE moments!!! We are enjoying the spring and the chance to take her for walks & hikes. She loves being outside. We're thrilled that she has started smiling at us!

Grandma's 2nd Visit

Grandma came to visit in February. We were all very happy to have her here and she was amazed at how little baby Renna had grown since her last visit at week 3 of her life. Grandma has a great knack for cuddling with Renna and putting her to sleep. She helped us get organized, putting away all of the little baby clothes and making room for bigger sizes! Renna's grandmothers and aunts keep her looking pretty in lots of cute clothes.

This last picture is Renna with Shawn at our favorite bakery. Shawn, Amy & Sal joined us for breakfast on Sue's last morning in town. Shawn sure has the "touch" with Renna. As you can see, she's very relaxed with him! He's a "baby charmer."

Family Photo

Here's a family photo from back in February. We're playing "catch up" on the blog! And here's Daddy giving Renna a bath. As you can see Renna still has no problems with eating!
