we spent an evening w max and his parents. cliff made homemade chicken noodle soup, which was perfect considering the freezing weather outside. ramona discovered a love for frozen bananas. so much so that she didn’t seem to impressed when max came flying by upside-down like a monkey.

robin: come visit crema sometime and try jp’s yummy food! it’s at 29th and larimer…
ramona waking up to see her papa doing what he does best: making some damn good food.

papa: thank you so much for coming and going along w all the madness. it meant so much to us to have you meet our family of friends.
melinda: thank you thank you thank you. ditto to your rich life as well.
shortly before ramona was born my mom came to visit. we bought some foam and, using some thrifted vintage fabric i had on hand, we (she) sewed me a changing pad cover. a more stylish alternative to what was out there. ramona’s diaper station is on top of our credenza in the dining room (like i said: our house is tiny). it works great for us so we don’t have to tromp down the stairs to the dresser we have for storing all her clothes that we initially thought would be the changing table. and let’s face it, most diapers are changed on the floor, right where the mess-in-in-the-pants happens.
this is my friend amy. she lives down the block from me.
a month or so ago she left her job to take some time for herself. i benefited from this.
she loves babies and i love company so we had a blast hanging out together and having lots of baby time.
she is, very likely, ramona’s third favorite person (after jp and i, of course!).
amy got another job and is no longer available during the days and we miss her a lot.
footie pajamas are the cutest.
