Pumpkin Patch


We enjoyed the beautiful fall day with friends at Berry Patch Farms last weekend. Susannah was the cutest little pumpkin in the patch! She picked out two pumpkins to carve next week and we bought organic carrots to try for her next solid.

SIX MONTHS OLD


SIX MONTHS OLD - Well we made it 6 months and it sure did go by fast. Its confirmed, Susannah James is Petite. Who would have thought with parents like hers. She's not really petite, she is just growing at her own pace. The doctor thought she was the cutest thing in the world, (not surprised). She has perfect head to height ratio, and gained a couple pounds. (Hmmm...sounds like her dad). She does have a small head though, but it was also brought to our attention that while most humans use 10% of their brain, Susannah is actually using 30% of her brain. So, accounting for the smaller head, she is actually using 13.5% more of her brain than most humans. Smart girl!

She will start on real foods today. The doctor said it was fine to give her rice, Martin said, "like Rice Crispies" Jayme said. "silly rabbit, trix are for kids". Jayme and doctor laughed at Martin and said "creamy rice stuff dumb-ass." Martin said, "One more comment like that and Susannah and I are moving to Canada where she can eat croissants" (I heard they make ice skates in her size up there, too). Jayme and doctor agreed not to make fun of Martin for the rest of the visit.

All is fine and we are all getting ready to Celebrate Grandpa Chuck Willie's 82nd birthday tomorrow. Now there is an accomplishment!!
Grandpa Chuck is still in Massachusetts, home of the world champion N.E. Patriots, and refuses to retire. He's still teaching, writing, and traveling and generally causing trouble. GO DAD!
