Three (and a half) months

I swore, when I saw these little baby seats years ago (this one is called a bebePOD), that I would have one with my second child. Lou still wasn’t sitting up reliably at eight months – he would get excited and throw himself backwards (and crack his head!). I’m hoping to get good use out of this product.

She really looks like her father in this picture. For some reason, I always notice the resemblance more in photos.

Lou’s first birthday celebration was at school this morning. The teachers have borrowed this elaborate Montessori birthday ceremony where the child, carrying a globe representing the earth, circles around a candle flame representing the sun for each year of his life. For each year, we share a photo with the group. To finish, the birthday child receives a special birthday wish from each classmate. You see the little blond girl in the back? She wished Lou would have his own unicorn to ride!

We’ll also have a small family celebration at home tonight, and the big party with friends will be tomorrow. It looks like it’s going to be pure chaos. I’ve invited all 22 students in the class, and it appears that we’re going to have a big crowd!
