Baby's second month






 Grandmommy S. has game:






'Ness and Bodhi are here!





Chaos!



               


Baby isn't very tall yet (from the camera phone):



Grandmommy S. is credited with inventing the "sleep suit" from which baby bursts:



Helen likes to look at the mobile from Eleanor, Erin and Charlie:






"Who's that cute baby?  What should I do?"



Mmmmwah!






























Flying robot baby from outer space!
Nosing around the ruins of Somerville (these are all thumbnails)


    
   






While you're sleeping, Helen, maybe it's a good time to tell you something ...



...  your mother just might be the bogey(wo)man!



Another great activity chair from Sofia and family:



The Red Line's rumble sounds so familiar to me, from all those rides en utero:

Or by quiet contemplation?
       








"Knock knock?"
"Who's there?"
"Amos."
"Amos who?"

"Knock knock?"
