Fletcher with The Fletchers

All ready for bed -- night, night, Daddy.

Horizontal stripes don't compliment my figure, Mommy -- solids or verticals from now on, please!

Fletcher and Grandma Fletcher.

Fletcher and I spent the weekend at Grandma Fletcher’s and he even got to spend time with Aunts Mary, Annette and Jeana which he really enjoyed cuz they always make him feel extra special and love him up every chance they get. Grandma worked to teach Fletcher he had feet and he also suckered her a few times into picking him up with some “false” crying. Sucker! Aunt Mary made him laugh lots and he made her laugh when she hoisted him in the air and he quickly went into his rocket ship mode with his legs stiff and feet pointed for propulsion (compliments of all of Daddy’s training). Aunt Jeana gave him goodies, loved him up and played with him and Elijah. Aunt Annette awoke a sleeping Fletcher so that she could cuddle him. He greeted her with a smile and she got to rock him back to sleep.

Fletcher's Cousin Elijah is very much mobile crawling these days and wasn’t too impressed with Fletcher’s inability “to keep up” so he quickly grew bored with Fletcher and kept very busy with his other activities including sucking the pacificer he skillfully “snatched” from Fletcher. Witnessing 10 month old Elijah get around so well definitely made Mommy think ahead about what’s to come with Fletcher!

Mommy is becoming a pro at maneuvering around with Fletcher in the stroller and it is definitely easier on my back than carrying him!
