Many Smiles Today

This morning I hiked Sawnee Mountain with my friend Elaine and her two kids. (And on the subject of my "athleticism"--ha ha!--I am within nine pounds of my pre-pregnancy weight and 14 pounds of my goal!)

Photos of John (wearing his cute new consignment-store overalls) playing with Daddy, home from work:

  1. Katherine, I can't remember from CAF if you're skirts only. If so, how was hiking up the mountain? It's the only thing I haven't attempted in a skirt...

    Love the picture of John in the Ergo! Does he "hug" your waist while he's on your back? DS does that; every once and a while I get a squeeze. So precious!

  2. Courtney: I'm not skirts-only but am skirts-mostly. I simply don't have enough skirts, so sometimes around the house I still wear maternity sweatpants (my poor husband!) or jeans if I'm gardening. I did recently buy a pair of gouchos, which is what I'm wearing in that hiking photo. They look like a skirt, but solve any problems with chafing. I do have some loose, ankle-length denim skirts that are very servicable for hiking or working in the yard, but they're a bit hot because of the denim. They're usually what I've worn for walks outdoors.

    When John is in my Ergo, he reaches his sweet chubby hand around the side and holds on to my arm while he falls asleep. It's like he wants to be touching my skin, the way he does while sleeping at night. Soooo sweet.

  4. Sarah: Except that John doesn't weigh that much more than Christina! That's what is so weird. I guess he's just a bulky boy.
