PACHOW!

On your three month birthday you gave us all a great gift--your first belly laugh! I admit to being thrilled that it happened while splashing bare bellied in the bathtub. I love that you seem to love the water as much as I do. I'm not sure the video quality is fantastic but it's the audio that's really important.

The past two weeks have been a whirlwind. You've been on three major roadtrips and have a new address. We're still unpacking on Zimmer Drive but the process is made so much easier with three sets of hands. You love to sit on the back porch in the Guatemalan swing (you come by this rightly, Poppa Joe spent most of his time at home swinging there) or walk around the neighborhood staring up at the tree canopy. The fact that Mr. Reindeer, your favorite mobile character, made the trip too seems to please you greatly.

This past weekend you saw your Mississippi grandparents and met your first great-grandparent. You were quite a hit in the nursing home and had plenty of smiles to pass around. You cheered at your first high school football game and Ocean Springs beat the competition into the ground. Watch out, you could become a team mascot.

The weather has turned cool, my favorite season is settling in. We all slept under the covers together last night and I dreamt of babies giggling. It was the sweetest dream.
