My Cute Cousins Finn and Sagan at the Pumpkin Patch

From left: Sagan, Finn and Sagan, Finn.

I can't wait to meet my older cousins this November!

Here's Poppa Lew with Me! (See earlier post: This is Poppa Lew)

And I Look Just Like Him!

Taking my bath...

Pushing up on my daddy like he did on his (see "This is Papa Lew."

Enjoying my mobile.

Sleeping.

Having good times!

My Daddy Was a Baby Too!

14 Weeks- and riding high during tummy time!

and, Our Trip to the Playground

Andrew and Cam introduce me to Captain Morgan, Yargh!

I have to bury my head...

Walkin' to the park.

Big boys get to do all the cool stuff!

The guys.

Brunch with the Rotter-McCartneys and Beaujons

Jeff and Margaret tell me all about my new friend- baby Rotter-McCartney- actually, I'm sitting on the baby in this picture.

I also get to hang out with the big kids- Ewa and Andrew's son Cameron is 2!

Jeff tells me all about brunch food...

Ewa and my mom talk about baby clothes, while Cam tells me all about toy cars, trucks and planes...

I tell Ewa all about the band Cam and I are going to start...

Another Visit with Grandmama

I love it when Grandmama comes to visit- she takes me on long walks around the neighborhood so that my mom and dad can get some extra sleep...I don't know why they need it...

Grandmama has noticed that I like to sleep too- when I leave the house and go for walks...not so boring as sleeping in the house with my mom and dad!

Grandmama tells me that when I grow up I may enjoy a grande decaf latte as much as she does- for now though, I'll just stick with the latte!

Our Trip to South Carolina

Nana tells me all about the gamecocks.

But I'm going to root for them anyway. I'm already cheering with my gamecock, Cocky!

Nana, Papa Lew and I strolled through the neighborhood.

Smiles for daddy!

This is My Papa Lew

Papa Lew took all the pictures when we went down to South Carolina to see him and Nana, so I don't have a picture of him with me. This is a picture of him holding my daddy when he was a baby. I look just like my daddy and Papa Lew looks almost the same!

Oran circa 3-months

Oran is going on 12-weeks this Wednesday, Oct. 4th. He will be an official 3-months next week, Oct. 12th. At this great age he is developing in leaps and bounds. He is now taking a regular, independent nap in his crib for 1-2 hours from 9:30 on. Today he went down for his nap smiling! He loves to smile into peoples faces and make lots of cooing noises. He also can sit up with a supporting hand and face forward in his baby bjorn, and maya wrap. Here are a few shots of Oran's doings this month...
