More cute pictures of my baby. Becky thinks Andy must have put her in this basket. I have so many pictures of Becky smiling and laughing. No wonder she's still such a cut-up; she started out that way. I also found a picture of her sucking a pacifier. I don't remember her having one and she eventually sucked her finger. Not surprising since she sucked the pacifier upside down.

I saw Sarah's picture of Lucas in his swing and thought I'd find the one when he was 2 days old in his swing. You can see how much he has grown in less than 5 months!

Amazing! He's still a young, sweet, baby, though. Can't wait to see him again!

Here is a current picture of my baby, all tuckered out from her day in the woods. Just as adorable as she was at 10 months.

This past weekend we spent with Sarah and Daniel, and Lucas, of course. We had a great time. On Saturday we watched Lucas at Gymboree. He wasn't as busy this time; he had to stop and have a snack. The lady who leads the class did mention that Lucas will be "graduating" out of the class soon as he is more advanced now, reaching and grabbing things. Sammy was quite fun to watch this time. He got to laughing at some of the toys.

Sunday we went to the Hakone Japanese Gardens and wow! That place was amazing. We then followed a narrow, twisting, and turning road up the mountains for nearly an hour to Big Basin. The redwoods are amazing and even though we couldn't stay long, it was worth the drive. We would like to go again and perhaps have a camping trip. We left Monday morning and had to say goodbye to our sweet grandson. It was the best weekend we've had in months! It was a great way to finish off Doug's first week at his new job where he worked normal hours again. It was great to have a weekend again. Thanks for a great time, Sarah and Daniel!

Guess who's below? Yep, it's Sarah at about 6 months old; in the studio portrait she's about
8 mos.
I thought we could compare her looks to Lucas's side by side.

I can't wait to see them tomorrow. We're very ready for a visit.

Sarah's blog is so much fun; mine isn't as cute with just birds and a dog picture. So, I decided to put some pictures of my "baby" on here. This is one of my favorites of Becky and she's about 10 months old. This is a cousin picture and she had so much fun doing this picture with them. I'm sure they were being silly and semi-uncooperative. Isn't she cute with her two little front teeth showing and her little hair tuft on top?

I might have so much fun with baby pictures, Sarah may see some future posts with cutsie pictures in it of her. Then, we can compare her looks with Lucas's.

Have a great day. Chester and Belle are fine.

Chester and Belle have continued their "birdie dance" but after a few days of this Belle seemed to be having a problem as she was all fluffed up and hunched over. I checked on-line and it seemed she could be "egg bound." I supplied a lamp to warm her up a little and shortly after that she must have expelled a shell-less egg. She seemed to feel better after that but I seperated them to give her a chance to recover. She is near the cage in a "hospital cage" (the box I brought them home in) with a lamp and she is pecking her food and cooing to Chester and he is calling back to her. They miss each other dreadfully. I hope that she will feel better after this.

We were busy yesterday with volleyball games.

Andy and Jessica are doing well. We actually talked to Andy today. They spent the day at Uncle Dave's.
