So...for some reason I can't see the photos as I'm downloading them for the blog-so I don't know the order they're in. WHATEVER...Grandma Mary is in one....and Grandpa David--Jeff's Dad--is in the other one...and there's one of Leo in the tree. "Springtime in Seattle"--we'll call that one. or 'look at mom's upper body strength".

We are now in Seattle--Leo has had a few different babysitters--the girl tonight is a maternity nurse (not as good as Jessica though..I can tell. And she can't make oreos into footballs like Jessica can) Because I'm an obnoxious namedropper--I also feel it's important to mention that she's babysat for Pearl Jam.

the video I'm trying to download was taken when we were in Berkeley---it was there where everyone felt like Leo looked like Harold--of Harold of the Purple crayon fame. He does kind of---head shape for sure.

Leo is a sweet baby. He is low key and sweet and an incredible deep observer of everything. The one comment we hear a lot from strangers is "wow..he's really taking everything in, huh?" And he reaches out for every thing with the most amazing hands. And he drools. I still mouth kiss him all the time and let him drool in my mouth. I also ate dog food as a child-so I'm not prudish.

He is still sleeping in bed with me. Why I feel the need to tell you all that--when I know it horrifies and maybe secretly delights my friends and family who know I'm in for a rough transition...I don't know. But he's been put to sleep by babysitters now quite a bit. They say he cries for about 10-15 minutes and then he passes out. And he's been asleep every time we come home after shows. So...things are still working out--but I know I gotta bust a move now...but why would I want to put him behind bars in a crib? He's done nothing wrong....(I'm just kidding...I'm just saying that to sound like--THAT kind of mother. Dear Lord, what if I am that kind?)

And he was grabbing at my girl scout cookie the other day. NOT COOL.

Jeff leaves in June 5th for his fishing adventure. I have no idea what my summer will be like--it all depends on the pilot and what happens with that.

Nobody told me that your hair falls out after you give birth. I just noticed that i have a mole on my scalp--that's how thin my hair has gotten. The mole was next to the 666. I still don't feel...attractive post baby. When does that come back? When will I feel like super model I used to be? I can fit into my pants but they get pushed off of me by the weight of my belly hanging down. And I'm bald. Otherwise--things are wonderful.

and below is the video of Leo learning about Pie with his cousins Lucy and Rosie in Berkeley. Rosie is the one with her tag showing....don't tell her! Nothing more hilarious than when someone's tag is showing!!
