Rosie’s post-breakfast tummy is one for the books. Lately, I’ve been mixing half a packet of maple and brown sugar Oat Revolution with Earth’s Best infant oatmeal. This morning, she ate an entire adult-sized bowl of oatmeal, an egg, half a waffle and half a carton of yogurt.

In the top photos, we’re both a little younger than Rosie, ann the bottom photos, I am on the left at about 18 months old (and look at all my crazy hair). And Andrew is on the right, and a spitting image of Rosie.

Our Kelty carrier showed up on our doorstep Friday night, and when we put Rosie in it, she did not want to get out. Let’s face it, it’s a great vantage point to woof at dogs and see birds in the sky.
We took it out and about on Sunday to the Farmers Market, where Rosie happily cruised in it for much longer than she would’ve tolerated the stroller. And also saw a live...
