Kissfest 2011

Augustus spent last week getting to know his Aunt Tesha and Uncle Tommy who flew in from Chicago to meet him. Our days flew by with feedings, diaper changes (did Tommy ever fly solo?), laundry-laundry-laundry and lots of baby-watching. His dynamic facial expressions kept us entertained for hours while the frigid Jackson Hole winter did little to lure us outdoors. It was fun to share his miraculous growth and development with them. Augustus began to hold the pinkie that he sucked on and to play with the sounds he can make (from different cries to his first coos). In just a few days his head and neck strength improved to where he could turn to look at the people he loves. We did enjoy walks around town checking out the ice sculptures for Winterfest and visiting our friend Andy at the bookstore. We also devoured lots of delicious food and watched the local elk and bighorn sheep in action. The time flew by much too quickly, and we can't wait to all be together again in May!

Thai food take-out!
