Miscellaneous

Not much going on in the NC. Except spring has finally arrived! Our daffodils bloomed at least six weeks later than normal because the winter was so cold and so long. But we can finally take Balian on walks without bundling him in layers of blankets. It rained yesterday, but it was so warm that I sat with Balian on the porch so we could watch the rain.

Kier and Anh-Dao sent Balian a truly Southern outfit:




It's overhauls with a monster truck! Now he truly fits in here!

He is becoming a happier baby and he loves to babble and laugh. He has even started to croon along with me when I sing to him. He has, in my opinion, the most adorable smile ever:



But his hair is crazy! He always has outrageous bedhead (see above) -- but not the cute on-purpose movie-star bedhead. Just plain messy and twisted. It's so fluffy, that his cowlick in the back looks like a hurricane. Hurricane Balian!


And yes, I'm a way too lazy mother to actually "do" his hair. Maybe when he starts preschool. Or kindergarten. Or high school. We'll see.

I love that smile! And nothing beats a baby cooing except maybe a baby laughing.
