More play time

Here Eric is sporting his cool hat hand knit by knitter, Beth Jordan. She also gave him the organic striped top. As you can see Eric is thrilled to actually have them on together.



Eric and Spencer have been pal-ing around some more. We took a trip up to Spence's house where Eric thoroughly enjoyed playing with all his gear and toys. Then we took a nice stroll in downtown Novato and grabbed some yummy salads (for the mom's of course) at a non-crowded outdoor cafe. So fun.









In case you were wondering. I am officially "off the pmup". For seven months I hooked up to the breast pump. Half of that time I pumped 7 times a day, every 3 hours, the other half about 5 times a day. It was tough to keep the supply up while Eric transitioned to more breast feeding with some bottle feeding and we were both getting a little frustrated to say the least. He got all that wonderful milk for all those months and now we have a lot more time to sleep and play together. He loves feeding time with the bottle and we have some great conversations and cuddle time over some Neosure baby formula. He was really starting to get a little perturbed at me for pumping instead of playing.

Whew, I'm surprised you didn't go totally looney with that pump -- you must have had to supress yourself from pumping everything in sight!

He's gorgeous Tara!

E is looking so good. All that dedicated pumping must have paid off in his belly. His little smile more than makes up for his freaky monkey toes (just kidding). Soon he will be breaking hearts, and running up mini mountains!
