Last weekend grandpa Jack came to visit.
This picture was taken seconds after Orin peed all over the lovely outfit he was wearing, so mommy got to hold the wet baby for the photo opportunity.
Grandpa stopped by on the way home from my sister's house and came bearing gifts for the baby from Orin's cousin Dylan (who, I have just been told,
is starting kindergarden in September!)
Dylan picked out two presents, both things that had been his favorites when he was Orin's age.
First, a night-sky blanket with colorful ribbons around it (shown here folded in half)...
And a soft star-dude with lots of things to play with and a rattle on the inside.
Orin loved them both.
Thanks Dylan!
In other exciting news: Orin had his first bath yesterday.
It was only a sponge bath because his umbilical cord has not fallen off yet,
but it was a bath all the same.
We got to use our new sink-friendly-tub which had been donated to us by a kind Craigslist user.
Like all new things that Orin has gotten to experience, the bath started off well...
...but grew less and less pleasant as it continued...
.... and ended in a very unhappy baby, needing desperately to be swaddled in his froggy towel.
Life only returned to normal when he was safety placed back into the comfortable folds of his puppy bag.
Happy, clean baby.
Ready for the next mess.

He looks very content. Love you all and can't wait to see you MOM!
Oh Lindsay...sigh...I miss you. You sure are turning out to be a star class mommy. Either you Mom is really smart, you read a book, or you have really great doctors that tell you everything. I didn't know that baby's can't have real baths until their umbilical cord falls off. How strange. Over here on the West coast the weather is fairly cool and I'm working on improving my domestic skills. As of today I have officially made my first Lasagna!!! It's for Tim's birthday. It looks good but we'll have to wait and see how it tastes. If It's good maybe I can make one for you all some day.
Much love,
Jenn
