Stay-at-Home Baby

We were stoked to have our friend Mandy visiting from Reno last week. She works with preschoolers, so is no stranger to diapers. We took the obligatory Mall of America trip and discovered that Bloomingdale's had a whole lounge area for nursing and changing your kid, including bottled water. Props to them.

All the outfits featured this week are newly culled from the box of 3-to-6-month stuff that I recently remembered I'd packed away in the closet before Tor arrived, except the red-and-blue one at the bottom. Consider this its last hurrah.

Gripping that rattle like he's done it his whole life

Since Tor's not big on lap-sitting, we recently discovered that he likes lying down and reading along with us. We took a break from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, which has turned out to be surprisingly grim, to read a cool cut-out book about Easter (thanks, Oma and Opa!).

And even while working his tail off to meet a deadline this week, Lars still had time to horse around.

These parallettes will be great when the kid starts standing on his own!

One of him in his happy place to finish up. Tor turned 16 weeks old on 4/20, so the next post will have an update from his four-month doctor's visit, which takes place on 4/27. You're excited!
