A whole lot of weeks
I’m catching up on a whole bunch of weekly pictures this time. I kept forgetting to get a Saturday picture from Kirsten’s mom from when Greta stayed with her to avoid our sawing and hammering and painting and everything a few weeks ago, and I didn’t want to skip any, so it’s taken me this long. But here we are. New batch of weeklies! Of note: hair!
Uvula!
This is the last recorded picture of Greta while she was still living on Willows Rd.
This pictures just screams of genetics. One of Kirsten’s favorite things to do is to jump up into the frame when you’re about to photograph something*, and this one looks like it’s exactly what Greta was trying to do.
“Oh, hi! You want me to get in the picture? Like this? Hi!”
This is what happens when you try to get Greta to eat food. It’s bottle or nothin’ for her, although we have been offering something every time we eat, without pressuring, and her curiosity has gotten the best of her a few times now. She’ll be eating for real pretty soon, I think. But still. This is what it has been like.
It’s Seabiscuit! She may not understand exactly the way horses work just yet, but she sure does enjoy sitting on this one!
Huck Finn gets a new car seat! How exciting! The one we brought her home from the hospital in is good for babies up to 29 inches and up to 22 pounds, and she’s closing in rapidly on both, so for safety’s sake, we had to pick up this new one. It’s so big and Barcaloungesque that it has a cup holder! Kind of ridiculously huge, but so’s she, these days, so what are you gonna do? We got one of the less outrageous ones, anyway.
This picture was chosen from this week’s candidates because holy moly, look at that hair! Compare it to this one, and you can really see what a few months can do!
She’s growing up fast! She finally got her first tooth to start coming in over the last couple of weeks (took long enough!), and she barely puts any of her weight on her hands when she stands up on stuff and walks along the edges (of the bed, the dresser, her play pen, wherever). The next step is, well, some steps (handsfree) and some more consistent eating. She’s getting close to both, so stay tuned!
* – It’s how this picture happened in Prague. It’s actually quite a cute and charming habit, which is what happens when you have a wife who knows when propriety dictates discretion and so on.

Can I just say that Greta’s 39 week picture looks like she might take after Auntie Juice in the uvula department!
