Exciting Developments

Hi all - It has been a very busy past few weeks, as I've returned to work. Sam is on Daddy duty now, and we're slowly adjusting to our schedule and all the requirements (lots and lots of milk!) So - with the acknowledgement that it is time to post more pictures and write more about all the other developments - I wanted to note for all of you a quick, fun developmenal milestone that Arlo achieved this morning: He flipped himself over from belly to back for the first time (and second and he's working on a third right now, rather noisily.) The exertion seems to require a good deal of screaming and grunting, but the reward is a smile once he's on his back. Yay, Arlo!

More soon....

Up North

We've traveled up to northern Michigan. Here is Arlo's great-grandma Virginia Haeger on the day they met. She was really proud to show the little guy around at the senior apartments where she lives.

Arlo and his cousin Joshua seem to share some common features (especially that Waara nose)

Big smiles
