Bea can't believe the discount!

Sunday morning in the country

After a long morning nap we enjoyed watching the sun rise over the pool. Grandma Lily showed Bea her first acorn. When it started to heat up, we went inside to cool off on the cowhide and patrol the floors again.

Splish Splash

This was Bea's first time in a pool and she had a ball.

Sunshine Sonoma

Dan grilled some shrimp for lunch while we relaxed by the pool. Bea took a self-portrait with my camera before her first dip in the water.

The Girl & the Fig

Today we left for the country life in Sonoma. After getting settled at the house, we went to the Girl & Fig for dinner where Bea enjoyed chewing on her bib, gazing at the other diners, and watching the sunshade above us be pulled away so we could see the clear blue sky as the sun set.

Dinner with Aunt Robin

Aunt Robin was in Oakland for a seminar. She brought Bea the Learning Puppy, whose paws Bea loves to push. We went to Soi Four on College and then to Bittersweet before coming home for some puppy love.

It's very very early....

Potatoes with Tomatoes, Spoon in Hand

Can I sleep standing up?

First night out in the Castro

We celebrated Grandma's birthday early with Auntie Shirley tonight. Shirley gave Bea a colorful teething rattle and the softest book she's ever felt, 'Night, Night, Peter Rabbit.' With a new book and rattle, Sophie spent the night off, in Dan's jacket pocket.

Lunch with Uncle Victor and Aunt Fran at Sabuy Sabuy

Bea grabbed my salad but ate applesauce made from Great Grandma's apples instead.

When you can't breathe through your nose....

just breathe through your mouth.

Bea's first cold

Bea handled her first cold by tapping these two rings together and sitting on some blocks.

I like Mondays

Bea is ready for the week ahead, much more so than the other people in her household.

Shoma and Kinshuk

Shoma and Kinshuk are visiting from London. We ate lunch at Filippos in the sunshine.

June's Baby Shower

Today we went to June's baby shower in Alameda at Eleanor's house. Great Grandma, Aunt Fran, and Grandma were there too. Bea loved scooting and rolling all over the carpet and playing pat-a-cake with Great Grandma.

Carrots

The latest on the puree menu....carrots! So far, Bea likes everything that arrives at her mouth on a tiny spoon.

Stay on Target

Bea fell asleep on the way to Target. When she woke up, she was in a shopping cart being pushed by Grandma.
