April Baer and beautiful daughter Stella came to visit baby Blaize & bring a delicious dinner... thank you White Baer family!

Blaize is diggin' his new outfit with all the doggies, one of the many great Christmas presents from 'Santa'. . . Mom especially likes the zipper feature!

A better view of the backpack.

Francesca holds up a onesy from aunt Kari that says, 'Little Brother.' And she is wearing a sweet little monkey backpack. Francesca has been battling a bug, she's had a fever today but it seems to be responding to baby advil. Knock on wood, Blaize is still A-OK.

. . .and down with the arm.

Daddy and Blaize play up with arm. . .

Blaize has been one heck of an awake bebe today.

Francesca likes this dinner! We had Nana's veggie Lasagna that she froze for us (we officially want the recipe, Brooke!) and mommy fixed not one but two fresh veggies-zucchini and broccoli! What is the world coming to??

Blaize drinks his second bottle of mommy's milk. Mommy gave him the first bottle earlier just to make sure he knew it was OK. The pumping routine of 2011 has officially begun...

Blaize is dressed for the day and getting in his good tummy time.

At breakfast, another take.

He is growing before our very eyes.

Despite Blaize's apparent fierce gesture, he was quite happy and posed no threat.

Blaize is 7 weeks old today!
(Where did the time go??)

Let the sun shine in...

This is a two day old photo taken on the walking adventure. It's definitely NOT representative of the weather today.

Wardrobe note: Big sister shirt from Grandma Ellen; slippers from cousin Molly.

Next stop - the library.

Francesca turned in five books just in the nick of time. She got five more on her with her very own library card.
