Anything to declare, sir?



Scott had to leave for a spur-of-the-moment business trip yesterday, so we helped him pack his suitcase. Audrey checked out the inside for any pockets where an extra 16 pounds of carry-on weight might not be noticed... We imagine that Scott's trips are actually exciting James Bond type adventures-- the kind of mission where Bond stays at the Marriot and eats at Applebee's, but otherwise totally top secret and cool.

Late breaking news on the infant development front: Audrey is earnestly practicing her roll-overs and, true to what all the books said, is working on this new trick in the middle of the night. Last night, I put her down in her crib on her back, parallel to the long sides of the crib as per normal, and woke to her squawks when she had rolled herself into an improbable bunch up at the top corner. I straightened her out, and before I had even left the room, she was rolling again. This morning at 6:00 I found her lying on her stomach, playing with her loveys (two little fleece squares and a stuffed cat), and when she saw me, her expression was like, "Oh, hey. I was wondering when you were going to get up."

Having already mastered front to back, Kai's been working on his back to front. By working on it, I mean that he spends half the night hoisting his legs into the air repeatedly, thus also waking himself up repeatedly. Can't wait until he starts sitting up and trying to walk in his sleep!
