Baby Love


Happy Valentine's Day!

We are enjoying a quiet day at home. We had some adventures planned, but our little Bean has his first fever. As new parents, we are doing a really good job of NOT freaking out (or at least putting on a good face that we are NOT freaking out..is it working??). His mild fever has responded to Tylenol, and he is a little crankier and spits up more than normal, but other than that, he is our happy little cuddle monkey.

This is West's first Valentine's Day. He got a Love Monkey from his Noni (my mother). It sings and flaps his arms. At first this little thing made him cry, but he is starting to find it interesting. Copper needed no warm up period for the Love Monkey. He LOVES it, but is respectfully keeping his distance. We discovered today that West loves the music by Michael Franti and Spearhead; we may have a little peace loving Bean on our hands. When I put this CD ('Rebel Rockers') in earlier, West immediately started to giggle. Among his other favs are the Blind Boys from Alabama. They sing 'Welcome Table' on Dan Zanes's 'Catch that Train' (an actual kids' cd).

The pictures you see are from today...fever and all. Hope that you enjoy your Valentine's Day and take a minute to let everyone know how much you love them. Big Hugs all around!!!
