Lots of mental firsts for Ren

Hiya,

Last weekend was very active for Ren! There were so many first I'm not sure I can remember them all.

• She laughed for the first time. I can induce it when I grab her and smile and laugh and tickle. Sometimes she'll make a big guffaw, and she makes lots of big smiles now. It remains nearly impossible to get anything on film though. As soon as the camera starts rolling, she watches it and forgets everything else.
• She's noticed there's sometimes a couple white blobs in her field of vision, which she can shake around. When her fists wander into her view, she'll drop whatever she's doing to stare at them for a moment.
• She has officially reached out to bop at a toy.
• She is aware of smaller things in her field of view. Specifically, she is now aware of Mr. Lion. He is extremely please by this development.

She continues to be for the most part an easy and fun baby. We are pleased.

Okay then, picture time!
Here's what mom looks like when dad comes home:


Ren's #1 favorite pastime, the fist suck:


Why use that bland old formula when there's White Castle vanilla shake?:


And of course, in honor of opening day, Ren showing off her true colors:


That's right, I say get 'em started on the trail to misery early!
