Mommy went a little nuts with the outfit.

As I believe Socrates would put it. . .

The Well-Baby Program RN, Debbie Meyers, said Blaize was "perfect." Which we knew, but it's always nice to have professional confirmation...

Holding fingers with baby Blaize...

Hey look, someone's eyes are open!

Proud mama and sleeping bebe... Hey, did you know, Blaize will have his acting debut in 2 weeks when he plays the baby Jesus in the Unitarian Christmas pageant!

A picture is worth a thousand words of love...

Francesca holds her sleeping baby brother...

Another outfit, another sleep.

Best self soothing baby ever!

Francesca enjoys the great present Baby Blaize brought her... a radio flier scooter! This is a trip with Grandmommy and Daddy. Radio flier aside, the sibling meeting was brilliant, loving and exceeded mom and dad's pretty darn high expectations. She is the best big sister ever. I kid you not!

Mom and Blaize

Daddy and Blaize, after another of Blaize's healthy nursing sessions...

T-minus 3 hours to Blaize!!! We are all very happy and excited. Francesca pointed to my belly this morning and said, 'Bebe!' before I said anything about anything. Big Sisters are very aware.... whoo hoo gotta go!

Grandmommy holds the plate of empenadas Adriana and Francesca made today. Francesca is about to taste them for the first time. (They are delicious!!) (We love Adriana--Querimos Adriana! Si si si!!!)

More dishes!

Francesca is a brilliant Tuesday morning helper... and she knows that it's one day to Blaize!!

Francesca eats a banana for the first time after almost a year of consistent plantain rejection. Hooray Grandmommy is here!

Good morning on a Tuesday--Grandmommy is coming today! 2 Days To Blaize!!

Morning vitamin milk. The only way to start a Francesca day... only 3 days to Blaize!

Chopsticks are fun!

So much to see. . .

Francesca had a play date with her friend Edie today at OMSI. Truly tons of fun!

Exploring the big basin

Look, there's a cockatoo now!

A bit of reading before Growing Seeds. This book is a new favorite...Counting Cockatoos.

Happy Friday! Cereal tastes better when you eat it with your hands. Also, Francesca is going to have a baby brother in 5 more days!

Easy rider at the mall.

This photo is a couple days old. It was taken by Dada's camera. It took him some time to get it off his phone camera.
