Solo with Anders

Anders and I are alone again here at home. We have a new Ottoman, which I like to set Anders in and he likes to sit in. It has four attached, openable squares with tops so we can store Anders' toys in there.

Anders is, Anna tells me, cruising in baby lingo. He took a big fall today. I was ready for him to fall two different ways, but he fell a third way. You can see the bruise on his forehead on the most recent photos.

It got hot again here today. While I still enjoy it, Anders is ready for the heat to break.

I think Anders really misses Anna. He looked around for her today after we returned from our walk. A few times per day, he also says "Mommomomomomomom." He is throwing out a few "Dadas," which is nice.

Things are going well, except for the dull backache.

Tomorrow, we are hosting a goodbye party for our friend Bill. This will be my last Athens Farewell Party until it is time for our Athens Farewell Party.
