Mommy's Going Back to Work

After a nice, long maternity leave it is finally time for me to go back to work.  My classroom is set-up beautifully for my little first graders and Piper is an angel at daycare.  The updates might not come as frequently as before, but we will do our best to share every great moment with you.  

Good Morning Sunshine

Piper greets us every morning like this (and, yes, always found in a different spot of her crib!). It is so precious...the best feeling in the world.

The Bumbo is back

So Piper can pretty much sit up on her own now with little or no help.
She's pretty happy about it.
It's kind of a big deal.

Good Friends

Sorry about the annoying baby voice. Daddy's working on that.

Piper portraits

Some beautiful portraits of Piper captured by our friend Georgia and baby Luke.

The First Laugh

Mom did it first by feeding Piper her arm, then Dad pulled it off with the fake sneeze, then Mom did it again using Dad's technique. All three caught here on film.
Needless to say, she's been a lot of fun lately. Such a happy baby.

Enjoying every moment

Not really sure how to explain. . . it's funny if you know Dan.

Mommy and Piper

It took her all but 3 seconds to grab the bumper and get the strings into her mouth when I was tying it back on the crib.  She is quick!
