A Boy and His Dogs

Stuff Leo loves.

I am starting a "Things Leo Loves" list.

First on the list? Mauri.



I can be putting on an elaborate show, singing, dancing, tickling, whatever. I might get a chuckle out of Leo. But if you want a full-on belly laugh from our son, it's Mauri all the way. I think his first word might be "Mauri," or at least "doggy."

Next on the list: blueberries.



Leo has a lot of favorite foods. He is a real eater; I guess he comes by it honestly, huh? Blueberries top the list of fave fruits.

To be continued....I have some videos and it's much quicker to post them separately!

Mauri is famous!

Woo hoo! Nothing beats 60 degree weather in the middle of February! We took advantage of Vinny's day off and had a Subway picnic at Sloan's Lake Park.



After the picnic, Leo got comfy in the Moby and we walked the 3 miles around the lake.

I have to admit, when we walk by someone and they say how cute we are, I always wonder, "Leo, Mauri, or the whole enchilada?"

Baby sitting!

Leo has enough head control now to try out his Bumbo Baby Sitter!

Vote for Mauri!

Fun Friday!

We had a great day today! We started out by going by Berkeley Modern Photography to see a slideshow presentation of Leo's photoshoot and make the very difficult - but VERY fun - decision of which prints to order. They are absolutely gorgeous shots, we can't wait to get the prints back!

Next, Vinny had to go to work so Leo and I went to Babies R Us. Don't worry - we went to return things, so it was a safe trip! At Babies R Us, Leo and I made use of the nursing lounge, and sitting next to me was a woman nursing the tiniest baby I have ever seen. I asked her how old he was and he was just 5 days old. I asked his stats at birth, and she said 8 lbs and 20 inches - just like Leo! He's only 7 weeks old and already I can't imagine him ever being so tiny! Time flies.

After our profitable trip to Babies, I decided to take advantage of the 60 degree weather, so I strapped Leo into the Belle Baby Carrier and the two of us plus Mauri walked to "the dog store" and got Mauri some truly disgusting treats. He was thrilled.






Leo finished his afternoon off with some quality time with Lucy, his favorite musical star.




Oh, and here are some gratuitious Leo shots, just because he's so cute.

There is nothing I love for breastfeeding more than my Boppy.

Apparently, I am not the only one in the household with Boppy Love. When I am done with it, it will happily be reincarnated as a bed for Mauri.

Looks comfy, doesn't he?
