We Survived 12 Days Without Daddy...

Father and son -- back together again!

I'm so cute...

Fletcher and I welcomed Daddy back home after being out of the country in South Africa for 12 days – seemed like an eternity. Mommy learned that she's no longer the apple of Daddy's eye -- it is Fletcher. During the drive from airport, Daddy sat in the back seat with his son rather then taking the front seat with his wife. Oh, well...

Fletcher got to “talk” to and see Daddy via a web cam while he was in South Africa. It disturbed Fletcher to see Daddy stuck in the computer – it may have been too soon for that.

Fletcher is teething and molting his mane -- teeth are a comin' and so is more hair! He is also perfecting arching his back to get out of positions he doesn’t want to be in – he can go from sitting up straight to lying flat on his back in about 10 seconds flat. We are starting to eliminate his twilight feedings. Hooray – looks like more sleep is in store for Mommy! Fletcher is like a mad scientist at work when he’s in his exersaucer. He absolutely loves it.

Now that Daddy has returned, Fletcher is happy to get all the extra attention and to resume his rocket ship adventures. Mommy is happy to have her family back together and to have another set of hands to care for Fletcher. Mommy is also thankful for Frances, our sitter, and for the fact that Fletcher is a good, happy baby. Otherwise, these past two weeks would have been H.E.L.L. Rather, they were fun and a growing experience -- I think.
