Growing up!




Tomorrow we enter a brave new world of jobs, commutes, and child care. Gulp. I'll be taking the vanpool "over the hill" to UC Santa Cruz every day. Walking to the van, taking the van, and walking from the van will probably be an hour each way every day. Katie will be in charge of dropping Finn off and will fight traffic to drive up to her job in Palo Alto, 3 days a week. Finn will be in daycare only 2 days though, since I'll be working from home on Fridays, as least to start.

Finn is 2 months old today! I thought I would share a couple of pictures from the past week. More are at Flickr. Although he likes to be held *a lot,* that is not always practical for us, so we're trying to find ways he can just sit and be. The Boppy and the Bumbo (too many B words...) are key items. He is a little too small for the green Bumbo chair, but I think it'll be a favorite once his neck gets a little stronger. Notice the prominent 2nd chin! Henrik Carlson was the first lucky kid I ever knew who had a Bumbo.

Oh, when I looked at the picture of him in his Bumble chair (is that the green thing?) I instantly thought of great-gma in her lift chair. Now I need to go dig out pics of her, and see if that's her mouth that he's got. Very cute pics, and nice smile.

I thought he looked like Great Grandma in that one, too!

So, little Seth Thompson had the bumbo before Henrik did (Henrik borrowed his) but he appreciates the mention :) :)
