A Lovely Treasure

Auntie Jenny made this absolutely gorgeous sweater for little Sander. It fits him perfectly as we head into fall weather. I think he looks like a little root child out of a book by Sibylle von Olfers. 

The Sweetness of Four Months Old!

This little guy makes my heart melt.

So Sander has reached what I believe to be a very delightful age of 4 months old. It's so fun right now! He can't crawl or speak, doesn't have teeth coming in, and he is so full of giggles and cuteness that it hurts sometimes.  For instance, he'll be crying or pouting (you know that pout) while putting him in his car seat because he still has a huge aversion to it and then instantly laughing and cooing after I smile and tell him it's going to be OK, we just have a short drive. He started laughing over and over again tonight after I gave him a bath and was rubbing coconut oil all over him. It was so darn cute! He's a truly happy little guy. Oh and he weighs abut 11 lb 13 oz now and is 24" long with a head circumference of 16". Official weigh in is next week.
Update: at 4 months and 10 days Sander weighs 12 pounds 2oz and is 25" long! Head is 16".

He breaks into giggles and laughs so often.

Classic.

Well, if this isn't a good place to lounge in the evening...

Tunbridge World's Fair!

We are on that ferris wheel somewhere!

We spent the day at the Tunbridge World's Fair on Sunday and it was so much fun! Sander went on the ferris wheel with us, on the carousel, and he enjoyed looking at all the farm animals.

My loves.

Lucy loved petting these gals.

Silly cows. 

Boston

So we made a trip down to Boston and had a blast. We had a Red Sox game to go to with Pop-Pop and a wedding to attend as well. We all stayed at Uncle Chris's. I am so sad to realize I never got any photos of Uncle Chris with Sander. I suppose we had a busy week galavanting and he had to work during the days we were there. Also, the night we went to the wedding was the very first time I left Sander for any period of time! Grandma Nono came up to babysit and darn, no photos of her with the little guy either...Sander was fast asleep when we got home from the wedding and all was calm. Good job Nono!

Sander's and Lucy's first subway ride.

Out to dinner pre-game with Pop-Pop.

Dada and Sander.

Pop-Pop walks proudly with little Sander. 

Sander is quite content on Pop-Pop's shoulder, always.

Heading toward the stadium.

Here we are! At our first Sox same together. 

Lucy taking it all in.

Sander snuggled right in and had a good night.

Heading to Spectacle Island together.

Sander snuggled up and Lucy loving the boat ride.

It was a little chilly on the way out due to wind and the overcast skies.

Lucy LOVES boats, planes, and trains.
