Russell's Athletic - I spent the weekend getting to know my son Russell a bit better. He likes to sit in his bouncy chair and kick my stomach like a punching bag (left-right, left-right, left-right...). He also enjoys being carried around the house. Several times a day, I take him to all the rooms in the house, stopping in front of every mirror so he can see himself. When he sees his image in the mirror, he laughs and then buries his head in my chest. Whenever he cries, I first try to calm him with a pacifier. If that doesn't work, then I sing 'Old MacDonald Had a Farm' to him. That works almost every time.

You can see the latest photos of Russell's smiling face here. I'm running out of disk space on my home computer to store digital images!
