The best invention ever!

I don't know why it took us 8 weeks to set up the baby swing. That thing is nothing short of miraculous. Jasper is hypnotized into sleeping within minutes. And it also makes appropriate chirping bug noises. Very nice for mommy to have an extra place to put her bug down during the day.

Laughing bug!

Trip to the beach

We introduced Jasper to the Pacific Ocean today - a proper baptism for a 5th generation (at least) California boy! We've been having a heat wave (well, what we call a heatwave - apologies to those readers in Houston) so we figured a trip to the beach was in order. Jasper didn't seem to mind the icy cold water on his little feet. Maybe he'll be a professional surfer.

Random cuteness

Jasper has started smiling a lot - real smiles too, not just gas. So far his smiles are proving difficult to capture on camera, but we will persevere. Until then, enjoy some recent cute pictures.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy first Father's Day Paul! We celebrated by going out to breakfast and Jasper "bought" his daddy a rocketship kit that they can put together when he's older. Jasper is very lucky to have you for a dad. We love you!!

One Month Old!

Happy One Month-aversary Jasper! It's already hard to remember life without our little bug. We celebrated with Dutch pancakes and French champagne. I vote we make this a monthly tradition.
