After a warm start to Spring, we're having very pleasant, cool, weather. The sun is out, the plants are green, and Peter is growing like a weed! His 4th tooth on the bottom is coming in, bringing his grand total to 8 pearly whites.

And so it begins.... Peter has had his first taste of temptation, and it is not looking good for his well-meaning parents.  He has discovered that he can reach up and out for things that are close to him, thus overturning baskets (see left), pulling down books (see left), and sometimes even causing bodily injury (photos withheld).   He is pulling up on all fours, contemplating intensely on what he should do next, but so far he has not figured out the coordinated arm/leg movement.  We are really hoping he can hold off until we get the new furniture that keeps all kinds of tempting cords and  buttons out of his reach.  Plug covers will be the least of our concerns if he beats the furniture delivery man!  

We have a big weekend ahead of us.  Peter is officially a bottle-fed baby now, so he can spend a long weekend with Reenie and Grampa in Birmingham while Hayes and I hit the road to attend a wedding in Mississippi.  Hayes will hold down the golf course and I will test out the spa then we'll head over to see some old friends for the first time in quite a while.  Our friends from New York will be there, along with all sorts of college friends and it should be great fun.  We'll miss Peter and we'll miss introducing him to everyone, but something tells me I won't be missing him at 6AM...
