Jana and Larry

Jana and Larry came to see us on their way to Puerto Vallarta, which was really nice of them, because not many people will voluntarily add a layover to their vacation. We picked them up from SFO and had just enough time to eat lunch at Max's in Burlingame before we had to return them to the airport. Jana was in love with Desmond, and I think he was pretty tickled with her as well. (He also seemed enamored with the spoons.)

I wish we had had more time to talk and hang out before they had to go - though we're thinking we might take a road trip up to Oregon this summer to see them. A little camping in the redwoods, a little hiking in Corvallis, a little coffee drinking in Portland... could be fun!

Cute Overload

Nothing new to report - so I present you with evidence of Desmond's latest cuteness.

Funny face

Mmmm, sweet potatoes.

Just 'cause it's in your mouth doesn't make it polite.

Sweet potato stuporMmmm, blanket.

5 Months, Still Cute

Desmond is more like a real boy every day. I can't get over how much he's changing.

On hands and knees - getting ready to crawl away?
(This is not the position one should assume on a changing table, by the way.)

Contentedly imitating a beaver.

A new, wondrous toy. He LOVES the exersaucer (thanks Shaina!)

Desmond can roll over...


And he can eat his toy while sitting up...


But don't mess with him because he can throw down...

Swing it, Baby, Swing...

With a little help, Desmond shows that he can bounce with the big boys.
