More Pictures and Newsy Tidbits...
First off, Viva looks grumpy in the first photo because Summertime is No Longer. Like many of you, she is about to cry. There, there, it's okay... Autumn is around the corner- and there's nothing better than Autumn in New York!
Glen starts his new job tomorrow! Hello school psychologist! He shaved his beard off- what you see is his Good Bye Beard photo.
Our doula, Stana, came to visit Miss Viva Minnie on Friday! A most excellent visit from our new excellent friend. Viva snuggled right up to her and slept for an hour, safe in her arms.
Today we walked around our neighborhood- host of the yearly West Indies Day parade. We saw Mayor Bloomberg marching. We gave him a piece of our minds... but he couldn't hear us- because he was wearing a very loud hot pink golfing shirt.
get it? "loud"?! My jokes are now PG, PG13 on a a sassy day.
Viva liked the parade, lots of new sounds and people. She was very, very content- cocooned in her PeanutSling. Our daughter loves to be in a sling, let me tell ya.
Today is Monday, last Friday she weighed a whopping 9 lbs 14 ounces. She's probably 10 lbs today. She's a mini whale. Which is a great thing. In honor of this goodness we put her in her whale onesie- a gift from Kim and Geoff.
Speaking of gifts- Thank you friends and family- we are really blessed by your kindness! All the hand-me-downs and presents are awesome! Viva is one lucky girl. (lucky and fashionable).
last thing- people have been curious about how Lemon is adapting to the new critter. She's been great. She has not jumped, pawed, or made a peep at Viva. She has licked, sniffed, and followed us to every diaper change. At night Lemon sleeps at the foot of Viva's co-sleeping bed... and in the morning we like to bring Viva up into our bed. When this happens, Lemon jumps up and snuggles next to glen. So we sleep like four ducks in a row... Lemon, Glen, Viva, Jane.
How could life be sooooo good?

Another fun set of photos!! We love your site! My favorite was Viva stretching on Glen's chest.
Going out for the parade with Viva sounded sooo fun. I'm glad she loved it. Your commentary is lots of fun, too. I guessed that it was Glen writing, but it may have been Jane.
