the living is easy




It's been exciting times at the pillow fort. It's basically summertime here in Gboro, and Liz and I have been taking advantage of the weather.

We went downtown yesterday and saw an exhibition of portraits by NC artists. Lots of the work was pretty cool. As we were walking back to the car we noticed this stylish Obama sticker. Politics is pretty marketable these days. Exhibit 1



We went to a coffeeshop downtown and I discovered something called a "red latte"--it's made of that redbush roobios tea and milk (like a latte). Pretty tasty. Notice, too, how casually we throw words like "revolution" around. Ah, marketing!

Speaking of tasty, here we are at the zoo. Rowan got hungry and ate the tastiest thing available--mama's wrist.






We tried out our awesome B-O-B stroller for the first time and Rowan took to it pretty well. We hung his first good friend up so he would have someone to commiserate with. Leon (the, of course, lion) is generally lots of fun. He swoops in and surprises Rowan with his dexterity and capacity for flight. Rowan has begun groping toward hand-eye coordination and swings at Leon, trying to grab him. It's really gratifying to see Rowan reacting to toys and trying to hone his brand-new skills. I should also mention that Leon is a double-amputee. Two of his legs were gnawed off by wild tabbies.




Rowan likes to get down with tummy fun and usually is ready to go when he wakes up in the morning (6:30ish). He does some smiling, then a few reps of tummy time, then some work with his new toys.









Q: What time is it?
A: Summertime.

I love the pictures of Rowan chowing down on Liz's arm. Heelarious!
