Babies -- Not One, But Two! (Make That Three)

So where do babies come from? That's easy -- from bellies!

In early December Mom and I visited her friend Marinka in Seattle and I got to "beep" her big tummy. Yes, "beep" -- the sound effect for pressing the belly button -- and big because (as she told me), there was a baby inside. (Her second.)
Well, in late January we visited Marinka again and the baby was out of her belly and snuggled into the Moby Wrap that I used to use. I remember how nice that feels...almost like being in Mommy's belly all over again! Anyway, the baby's name is Mila and she was 2-1/2 weeks old then and I think she looked kind of relieved not to be so cramped up anymore.

We get fall and spring all rolled into one here in the Pacific Northwest (winter -- what's winter?), so when we went to the park with Marinka and Mila, Mom tossed dried leaves for me and we generally had a good time. Thanks to Mama Marinka for taking these photos.


OK, on to the next baby in my life...
This is Baby Oliver, the first offspring of a couple Mom can claim to have introduced: Chris, her high school friend, and Corey, her college friend. Things seem to be working out between them, because after 3-1/2 years of marriage, they had Oliver.

He was about one month old here, and I showed him an advanced breastfeeding skill: reading while nursing. I don't expect Oliver to get it right away, as he's still a novice, but he can file it away for future reference.
And on the subject of babies, I'd better not forget Baby, pictured below. He's mine. Need I say more?
