Shot a couple days back, but more of the same today, so I figured I could cheat and post this one.

Weekend full of nieces, 1 nephew, & 1 napping baby: all good stuff. + some old friends & plenty of conversations about everything over diner food & Dino's, which was more than worth the price of admission.

I'm meeting little H.M. for the first time this trip since she only just introduced herself to the world two months ago. She's such a mellow baby -- so little fussing, so much cuddling. Probably helps some that my voice shares some of the same vocal patterns as her daddy's: familiar music to coo to.

Whatever it was, it worked: We took to each other straightaway.
