Stickiness

Wyatt has started eating rice cereal. Well, maybe 'eating' is a bit of a stretch. It's more like he likes to swish it around in his mouth and then let it fall from his mouth all over himself and the Bumbo seat and whoever is feeding him. Below are some pictures I took of this afternoon's feeding.

My Mom and Dad came to visit at the end of January. They had been on a cruise out of Miami and stopped by in Sarasota on their way back north. We loved having them here. I think Darrin and I both gained 10 pounds from all their good cooking. It was also a treat to get to spend some time with Dave & Rhoda Swartz, too.

Exciting news...we have a new nephew! Caleb Andrew Otto was born January 28th to my sister Greta and her husband Shawn. I can't hardly wait to squeeze on him...he is too precious! We hope to fly up at the end of the month to visit.

Mr. Caleb

We've enjoyed visiting with my Aunt Bev and Uncle Ike these last few days. Wyatt can't get enough of the stuffed alligator they got him (see video below). He is enamored with that thing.

Even his chest is glistening with sticky rice cereal
