resurfacing
Wow, last journal entry posted 14 weeks ago... more than 3 months? Really? Clearly, it really *has* been difficult to carve out computer time.

Baby Book entry: 9 months

Games with mommy
Originally uploaded by freemanwilliamsPJ is seven months and 18 pounds. She is in the 75th percentile for all the measurements, so, although she seems big to us, especially compared to her slightly older comrades we meet, she's actually a great size for her age.
She is so cute these days. She smiles readily and is laughing more, as ( Read more... )
