Claire: "Hey." [pokes John until one eye opens]
John: [With one eye open] "Wha."
Claire: "Hey. You want to see something cool?"
We had been officially "trying" to get pregnant (i.e. we had pulled the goalie, so to speak) for a month or two, so I had a pretty good idea what the cool thing was.
One year ago this morning:
We also took the first of many Claire belly pictures that day.
And here she is eight months later, just a couple of days before Spud became post-uterine:
I know! Holy crap! Um, I mean, isn't she beautiful?!
Anyway, so Spud has been the headline for exactly a year now. We celebrated by abandoning him. OK, not really. Claire's parents babysat for us tonight (Thanks Joe and Valerie!) while we went for a nice dinner and a walk on the beach. When we got home, he didn't seem to notice that we had been gone.
Earlier today, we played in the pool. Spud enjoyed it very much, except for that first bit when you first get your bits wet. But nobody likes that part.
Aunt Megan sez:
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous -- you can actually get him to wear a hat and sunglasses! Unless it's literally strapped to his head (e.g. bike helmet), Marcus will rip hats and shades off in approximately 0.3 femtoseconds ...
For those of you who are confused by the "confusion" of John's Anniversaries...John and Claire did a "repeat" wedding...just the two of them....no relatives...secretlike...and since they enjoyed it so much...I think they count that as the possible REAL date of full committment. I still believe that the first one took though...even though big "first" weddings
ReplyDeletecan be a bit of a hassle.
Now Baby makes three...now tell me...have you EVER seen anything as adorable as Spud in the pool?! Shades and a hat...what a STAR!!
Femtoseconds......gee I love that engineering talk!

That's only because he still doesn't quite know how to use his hands!
