Spring just flew by!

The spring just flew by! Van is getting so big so fast... as everyone said he would. He's 9 1/2 lbs now and about 22" long - woo hoo! This past week he's started smiling without the aide of gaseous emissions, and is making eye contact easily with both Mom & Dad. Way to hit those developmental milestones, kiddo!

Momma's had to change her diet quite a bit. No dairy (cow's milk dariy, that is), eggs, chocolate, "gassy" vegetables, citrus or spicy foods. It's been a change for all of us, but luckily we live in an area with a population with diverse eating habits... so finding alternatives and new friendly foods isn't too difficult. Also, we have a new grill this summer, so we've been grillin' fools lately! The fav is grilled pizza - Mmmm!

Josh is traveling back to San Francisco for work this coming week. He's super siked to see some of our old friends again (I'm jealous). We'll all be going to California in September for a wedding and can't wait! It's been too long. Plus, we are excited to have Van meet everyone.

Grandma Redmore is visiting for the first time this week, and Aunt Shannon is visiting this weekend as well. We are all so thrilled they could both make it! More later.
