More from La Junta

Eamon worked on lots of skills while he was in La Junta (unfortunately, he's too young to work on his Mexican food and cantaloupe consumption, so I did that for him).

Some skills are now old hat.

Grandma introduced him to beads.

He practiced his serious face on the beads.

Grandpa played too. A little too hard, apparently (at one point all three boys were crashed out, but this is easily the least comfortable napping spot chosen).

And of course, there was much practice in incredible cuteness.

Baby.. in a backpack?

Eamon has decided to accept the Ergo carrier again, which is fantastic for me (sooo much easier on the back!). He has always liked the Bjorn, but I do like the Ergo, particularly on back for shopping (hard to shop when he grabs *everything*).

Shopping with him in the Ergo generates a lot of smiles, so when I went to get groceries yesterday I grabbed some pics with my cameraphone to see why.

Perhaps it's my extra appendages.

Or the way he passes out.

What do you think?

Oh, hallo...

Oh, hallo...

Sorry it's been a bit quiet around here. Mom and Dad have been traveling, then Mom's working more... and now? They both got new toys. So, well, that leaves me to communicate with you all, I guess. Perhaps I'd better work on being able to feed myself, in case this keeps up.

Step one: Increase mobility...

Ohhhhh, that was tiring. Maybe I'll just work on being unignorably cute instead.

Yup, that should do it.

(note from the editor- the new toys include a new camera for me, via my United miles. Fujifilm (huh, where's the film?), thanks to all of you who have let us play with yours.)
