October 30, around 10am, I got to experience the first gummy, newborn smile. It melted my heart. Billy got a good shot of it as well.
She 7 weeks old now, weighing 9.5lbs and is 21 7/8″ long. She’s still wearing her newborn clothing, they are becoming a bit too short for her, however. Baby clothing manufacturers really need to make something in between the NB and 3 month sizes. The 0-3 month sizing is more in the 3 month range.
Jane is also tracking or following toys and faces. Finally, she knows we exist. :)


Jane also celebrated her first Halloween. Here she is with her friends, Ava and Max.

We are now looking forward to celebrating her first Thanksgiving. We are hosting again this year, I’m going to try a brine on our turkey. More on that later.

One of our most prolific plants in our garden this year were sweet peas. They were so delicious too.
Take a look at another beautiful sweet pea. Linda, my fabulous mother-in-law, made this terrific costume. It’s made out of crushed velvet with a zipper closure. Jane was having some squirmy issues the day we tried it on her, but you get the idea.



What do you grow with love?
