I bet there’s been something missing about your toothbrush that you couldn’t quite put your finger on…all you knew was that it wasn’t all that it could be, and that you made you just a little sad each morning. That because what you’ve been wanting is this:
Lo and behold the easy to grip baby toothbrush. Is Nolan brushing his teeth yet? Well in a way. These little darlings happen to be one of Nolan’s favorite toys- he chews on it longer than most items I give him and the handle is just the right size and design for his little fingers to grasp. Teething rings have so far been too bulky for him and he has expressed no interest in them. But his little blue toothbrush Grammy got him? LOVES IT! I begged her to find me more- somehow I’ve managed to keep track of this one blue 3″ wide toothbrush for the last few months, knowing how precious it was, giving me 10 minutes of free time here and there, but I’ve been fearing the day this little distracter managed to disappear, and my freedom with it. Thankfully today I was bestowed with 3 more!

Nolans hands are getting too quick for me boy! I think he has go-go-gadget arms and he just hasn’t let on to us- how else could I turn away while holding him and he somehow manages to grab something that seems like it’s two feet away? While sitting at the computer desk with my lunch to my left, I turned with him in my lap to get up and somehow my chicken curry salad came with us. Of course of all days it had to be a day where my lunch contained curry powder- that delightful combo of spices a vibrant yellow in color with immense power to color whatever it touches…including cream carpet. Lovely. Just another delightful afternoon with my darling, intelligent and wondrous son. Hey- my carpet can’t smile at me and make those darling little baby talk sounds, so carpet-shmarpet.

We went on a family hike today- I say “hike” because we didn’t really go very far- it was probably all of 1/2 a mile- some of you may know I’m not able to do any real hiking just now- it was more like a short jaunt and then off the little trail a little ways for a fun picnic. Nolan was of course sappy-happy to be outside in nature, as he always is, and so were we, so it really couldn’t get much better this afternoon….and a picnic wouldn’t be the same without some vino and stinky cheese for starters….
While the Daddy Lam enjoyed his snack, I saw this dead bee just sitting in a crevice of the rock he was sitting on…amazing what you come across if you just take the time to sit down and drink some wine!
Then we came across those little flowers that Thumper always loved….
Big, beautiful, cumulus clouds….
And of course the real star of the picnic, our little 6 1/2 month, 20-pounder…
